PART – i.e. you have 16 versions available, all in stereo

addressed individually by the PARTs. In the signal path, all effects are connected in series in
accordance with sequence in the Effects menu.

INPUT DIRECT THRU (GLOBAL)
The stereo signal patched to the external inputs can be routed to the dual-jack Output 1 with-

direct signal path.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it is not stored along with the SINGLE PROGRAM.
INPUT BOOST (GLOBAL)
With INPUT BOOST, you can increase the signal level of the two external inputs by up to 36 dB.
The signal is boosted in the digital section of the Virus, so the noise level of the analog-digital
