RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR

í
The random patch generator can be found in
the RACNDOM PATCH GENERATOR chapter.
PAR DEPTH
This parameter determines the number of
sound parameters that are influenced by the
RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR. If you enter a
low value for PAR DEPTH, just a few parame-
ters will be modified. Beyond that, the manner
in which the few parameters are edited assures
that the sound is manipulated "organically".
This simply means that it isn't bent radically so
that, for example, the given sound can still be
played "tonally".
As you increase the values for PAR DEPTH, oth-
er parameters that have a greater impact on the
timbre of the sound are changed. At higher val-
ues, the RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR tends
to generate noise-like sounds or special effects.

AMOUNT
This parameter determines the intensity of the
RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR's effect on the
sound parameters. At lower values, sound
changes are fairly subtle, but you can intensify
the effect by repeatedly pressing the STORE
button. Higher values introduce fundamental
changes to the sound.

INPUT (GLOBAL)
INPUT DIRECT THRU
The stereo signal patched to the external inputs
can be routed to the dual-jack Output 1 without
being processed in any manner. For instance
you can blend the output signal of another
sound generator with the output signal of the
Virus and send the mixed signal to Output 1
without having to use an external mixing con-
sole. INPUT DIRECT THRU controls the level of
this direct signal path.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it is not stored
along with the SINGLE PROGRAM.
