FIRST STEPS
The Effects Section
This section is split into two halves (with separate EDIT buttons).
The top half is dedicated to Delay, Reverb and EQ effects, while
the lower half features Distortion, Analog Boost, Chorus and
Phaser. Any or all of these effects can be applied at the same
time – just press the SELECT button to choose the required
effect (e.g. REVERB), then adjust values using the knobs.
The most useful parameters for realtime performance are
directly available – to reach all the others, open the EDIT menu.
DELAY
Restore ROM-A127 and select DELAY in the effects section.
Set all the following knobs to their central positions: OSC
BALANCE, FM AMOUNT (exactly 64), DETUNE 2/3, CUTOFF,
ENV AMOUNT and SEND (in the EFFECTS section). Take
TRANSPOSE down an octave. Play the keyboard – you should
be able to hear a single delay. Now experiment with the TIME
and FEEDBACK knobs.
REVERB
Now let’s add some reverb to the delay (which, by the way, was
not possible with earlier Virus models): Press the upper SELECT
button in the EFFECTS section once, and try adjusting the same
three knobs (now SEND, TIME and DAMPING)...
EQ
Although often overlooked, the 3-band equalizer is a very pow-
erful feature of the later Virus models. Of course EQ can be
used in a conventional way to manipulate the overall tonal char-
acteristics of a sound, but at least the MID band can be used a
little more creatively than that:
