as a microphone preamplifier, a mixer, or
a guitar preamp before you route it into
the input of the Virus.
. Please turn down the Master Volume
knob before you turn input gain up. Be
aware that boosting the signal by 20
decibels increases the level tenfold!

INPUT PHONO Since record players have
a characteristic frequency response, we
equipped the Virus Rack with a suitable
Phono equalizer. It may be activated via
the INPUT Phono parameter.
INPUT BOOST (GLOBAL) With INPUT
BOOST, you can increase the signal level
of the two external inputs by up to 36
dB. The signal is boosted in the digital
section of the Virus, so the noise level of
the analog-digital converter increases
automatically. Consequently you should
dial in the cleanest, loudest possible sig-
nal at the external sound generator. The
Virus features a signal level indicator
that allows you to monitor the signal
level visually: see LED MODE in the CTRL
menu. ["LED Mode" on page 155]. You
should only turn up the INPUT BOOST
when you are unable to dial in a suffi-
cient signal level prior to the external
inputs. At a value of 0, the signal level is
not boosted at all.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it affects
all involved PARTs and INPUT DIRECT
THRU (see paragraph below). It is not
stored along with the SINGLE PROGRAM.

INPUT MODE In the Virus you have the
option of using the external analog
inputs instead of the internal oscillators
as signal sources that can be processed
by the filters, envelopes and the internal
effects.
