PHASE pertains to all LFOs and does not impair
the phase response of the LFOs within either of
the two voices.

PUNCH INTENSITY
Here you can influence the attack of the amplifi-
er envelope to enhance the sound with a more
percussive, snappy kind of feel. You may have
guessed that PUNCH INTENSITY determines
the intensity of this effect. PUNCH is only effec-
tive when you have dialed in fairly short
AT-
TACK rates for the amplifier envelope.

ASSIGN/MOD MATRIX
The 6 ASSIGN options let you control up to 9
modulation destinations via up to 6 modulation
sources. Simply go to ASSIGN, select one of
the modulation sources (SOURCE) and one or
several modulation destinations (DESTINA-
TION). Each of these configurations features a
parameter that determines modulation intensity
(AMOUNT). ASSIGN 1,4,5 and 6 can each con-
trol one modulation destination, ASSIGN 2 can
control two and ASSIGN 3 can control three
modulation destinations, each with independ-
ent AMOUNTs.
For your SOURCEs, you have two different
types of modulation sources to chose from. The
first type comprises external MIDI controllers
such as the modulation wheel or breath control-
ler. We call these ”performance controllers” to
distinguish them from sound parameters such
as
CUTOFF and REVERB that may also be ac-
cessed directly via MIDI controllers. (Although
strictly speaking, they’re on-board devices, the
modulation wheels of the Virus kb and Virus in-
digo are also considered to be external MIDI
controllers since they are not actually compo-
nent parts of the sound generation system).
The second type comprises the sound genera-
tion system’s internal modulators, for example,
LFOs and envelopes. These also have fixed
modulation assignments (LFO AMOUNT,
ENV
AMOUNT ), but are freely available along with
the Modulation Matrix.
Let’s take a look at the internal modulation
sources:
- AMPENV & FILTENV The corresponding en-
velope is the modulation source.
- LFO1, LFO2, LFO3 The corresponding LFO
is the modulation source.
- VELOON The note on velocity is the modula-
tion source.
