VOLUME AND PANORAMA

Volume and Panorama
Position
You probably noticed that the many of
the sound shaping options available in
the Virus occasionally influence the vol-
ume level. For instance, an unfiltered
sawtooth is naturally louder than a
highly filtered sawtooth because when-
ever you blend a part of the frequency
spectrum out of the mix, you are auto-
matically reducing the overall volume of
the signal. This is why the Virus is
equipped with a programmable volume
parameter for each SINGLE PROGRAM. It
enables you to balance out the volume
levels of your sound programs.
Locate the parameter PATCH VOLUME in
the COMMON section of the EDIT menu.

Its value is set to 100 so that you have a
reserve or headroom of 27 volume incre-
ments when you are dealing with highly
filtered sounds.
You have already dealt with the Pan-
orama position as a modulation target
of LFO 2. Here you can not only modu-
late it, but also determine settings man-
ually. For this purpose, use the
parameter PANORAMA which is also
located in the COMMON section of the
EDIT menu. Like many other parameters,
Panorama is a starting point for modula-
tions. For instance you can modulate the
Panorama position via LFO 2 even if you
have already set the Panorama to the far
left position. In this case of course you
will only hear the Panorama position
shift to the right.
