appears immediately on the screen. Inci-
dentally, this editor is based on Emagic's
popular SoundDiver.
In all modesty, we are especially proud of
a feature we developed called Adaptive
Parameter Smoothing. For the first time
in the history of synthesizers equipped
with memories, you can manipulate a
knob or control feature without an audi-
ble step or increment. In other words,
the sound does not change abruptly but
SEAMLESSLY. No more zipper noises! The
Virus responds just as smoothly as analog
synthesizers did prior to the introduction
of digital sound storage.
And users of contemporary software
sequencers will appreciate the fact that
the Virus sends all sound shaping com-
mands immediately in the form of MIDI
Controller or Poly Pressure data (and of
course accepts all of the corresponding
Controller and SysEx messages). This fea-
ture lets you dynamically control the
Virus and all its functions via computer.
Although far from complete, the fea-
tures listed above give you some indica-
tion that you now own an exceptionally
versatile, high-quality musical instru-
ment that will give you plenty of joy for
years to come. We certainly hope you
can fully exploit the enormous potential
of this fine instrument.
Have fun and enjoy!
