ALL ABOUTS INPUTS

í
Audio Inputs and Audio
Routing
The Virus is equipped with two inputs
for external signals. You can route these
to its sound generating components and
use them as carrier or modulator signals
for the Vocoder.
í

OSC Vol / Input

When one of the two INPUT modes is
activated, the OSC VOL parameter rather
than the oscillators controls the level of
the input signal patched into the Filter
section and of course also the gain of the
SATURATION stage. In INPUT Dynamic
mode, the level can increase surprisingly
swiftly when you play several voices
polyphonically. The reason for this is
that, in contrast to when you're dealing
with several oscillator signals, the voices
are correlated because they are receiving
an identical input signal. In the event
that the Virus generates distortion when
you're dealing with this type of signal
routing set-up, be sure to back off the
input level a tad via the OSC VOL param-
eter.
