Input Level Indicator

Alternatively, the RATE LEDs of LFO 1
and 2 can also serve as level indicators
for the left and right external audio
inputs. To this end, go to the CTRL menu,
select the menu item SYSTEM, and set
the Parameter LED mode to Input. When
the parameter is set to Auto, the Virus
automatically activates this level indica-
tor mode when the selected SINGLE pro-
gram accesses the external audio inputs.
The LEDs will flash rapidly to indicate
that the inputs are being overloaded.
Der korrekte Pegel sollte an dem Gerät
eingestellt werden, welches die analo-
gen Signale liefert, da so die AD-Wand-
ler des Virus optimal ausgenutzt werden.
Der Parameter INPUT Boost sollte nur in
Ausnahmefällen zur Pegelanhebung ver-
wendet werden, da er erst nach den AD-
Wandlern das Signal digital verstärkt,
und somit die Aussteuerung der Wandler
selbst nicht beeinflusst.
You should dial in a suitable input level
on the device that is sending the analog
signals. The reason for this is that you
want to feed the highest possible clean
signal level to the analog-to-digital con-
verters of the Virus so that they will
deliver the best possible performance.
You should only turn up INPUT BOOST as
a last resort because it is located post A/
D converters and boost signals digitally,
which of course doesn't affect the level
of the converters.
Signals within the Virus may also be
overloaded and may distort when their
levels are too high. Inherently, a virtual
analog synthesizer's resonating filters
and high level of polyphony lend signal
levels considerable dynamic potential.
We could only rule out this type of dis-
tortion entirely by lowering the funda-
mental output of the device significantly
or by limiting specific parameters. How-
ever, this type of problem occurs only in
a very few, very specific scenarios. Since
the problem is so context-related, we
chose not to lower the device's output
power or limit its parameters. Instead,
we recommend that you simply lower
signal levels (Patch Volume, etc.) to pre-
vent undesirable distortion.
To help you keep an eye on signal levels,
you can activate LED mode to visually
monitor the levels and amount of distor-
tion of the two audio outputs.
