Delay/Reverb

As its name would indicate, the DELAY/
REVERB section generates two different
effects:
The DELAY effect does just that to the
input signal – delay it to create echoes.
Much like a chorus, you can modulate
the delay time to create oscillations and
phase shifting in the stereo panorama.
Delay time can also be locked into sync
with the global clock generator. As a
result, the rhythm of the repetitions can
be matched up to the given song tempo.
Beyond that, the device offers diverse
delay pattern algorithms where the left
and right signals are delayed so that ech-
oes are repeated in different beats. By
varying FEEDBACK values, you can come
up with interesting rhythmic patterns.
The REVERB effect, on the other hand,
simulates the reflections that occur in
"natural" rooms. This particular effect
features several parameters that let you
come up with effects that go beyond
simple room simulation. For example,
you can use the DELAY unit described
above to dial in the desired pre-delay for
room simulations. The DELAY effect is
located prior to the room simulation in
the signal path. Delay time and feedback
are infinitely variable and may be synced
up to the global clock generator. This
means that you can create REVERB
effects that are a perfect match for the
rhythmic context.
In PARAMETER mode, you can select var-
ious DELAY and REVERB algorithms.
Some of the REVERB algorithms work
with parameters that the DELAY algo-
rithms do not use and vice versa, so we'll
look at these special parameters in a sep-
arate section.
In SINGLE MODE, all Delay or Reverb set-
tings apply to the SINGLE PROGRAM in
the conventional manner and are stored
along with the program.
However in MULTI MODE, all 16 PARTs
access the same Delay or Reverb effect.
In this case, the only dedicated parame-
ter you have available for each part is
EFFECT SEND; all other parameters apply
to the same Delay/Reverb unit and affect
all PARTs.
Consequently, if you set the Virus to
MULTI MODE or MULTI SINGLE MODE, all
settings you dial in for the Delay or
Reverb (including EFFECT SEND) affect
the MULTI PROGRAM and are stored
along with it. If the Virus is in MULTI
MODE or MULTI SINGLE MODE and you
activate a new SINGLE, the Delay/Reverb
parameters of the SINGLE are ignored
and the Delay/Reverb parameters of the
current MULTI PROGRAM are activate.
As a rule, in MULTI MODE all SINGLE set-
tings pertaining to the Delay/Reverb are
ignored, with the exception of EFFECT
SEND.
