another module). In the Virus, oscillator 3 is partly a “slave” of

Square wave
Special form of Pulse wave in which the Pulse Width is exactly

„
Subtractive synthesis
Often called Analogue Synthesis. The method of creating
sounds by removing (subtracting) frequencies from relatively
complex waveforms. See also
Additive synthesis .
„
Sync
Synchronization. In oscillator sync, one oscillator resets the
phase of another (usually whenever it crosses zero in the posi-
tive direction).
„
Sync Phase
See Sync above. An Assign Target for LFO3 in the Virus, this is
the phase angle to which oscillator 2 is reset.
„
System Exclusive (Sysex)
Device-specific MIDI data used for transferring patches, edit-
ing parameters via computer etc..
