131 SOUND PARAMETERS REFERENCE
Unison
“Unison” means several instances of the same note at the same
time. In the Virus, voices can be stacked up, detuned against
each other and spread across the stereo field (see “Pan
Spread” below) for a richer sound. The trade-off is a reduction
in polyphony.
Voices
> Off, Twin, 3 to 16: How many voices are used for each note.
“Twin” is relatively efficient, only halving the maximum
polyphony while giving fine control over LFO phase (see
below). If set to Off, no other Unison parameters will be visible
except Pan Spread (see below).
Detune
Available from the panel via SHIFT + DETUNE in the OSCILLA-
TORS section.
> 0 to 127: How much the stacked voices are detuned against
each other. Modulation destination “Unison Detune”.
Pan Spread
> 0 to 127: The stereo width of the signal. As well as applying to
Unison sounds, this parameter also applies to any Parallel
and Split mode sounds (see filter “Routing” on page 144), so
it is still visible even if Voices (see above) is set to Off. Modu-
lation destination “Pan Spread“.
LFO Phase
> -64 to +63: How much the phases of all LFOs are shifted
against each other. For making Unison sound even more
complex. Modulation destination “Unison LFO Phase”.
