Volume Control - Access VIRUS CLASSIC User Manual

EXTERNAL LFO TRIGGER
You can also trigger an LFO at any time by means of a controller, in other words, restart its wave-
form cycle via remote control. LFO1 mode (Ctr #70), LFO2 mode (Ctr #82) and LFO3 mode provi-
sion controllers that you can use for this purpose (Parameter B 9, see the parameter documentation
in the Appendix.
FILT GAIN
LFO1 lets you modulate the volume of a voice. You'll find this function under LFO1 Amount FILT
GAIN in the LFO 1 menu. We deliberately positioned the point of modulation prior to the filter sec-
tion, so that the degree of distortion can be modulated at the same time when you have activated
the SATURATION unit. Beyond that, you can use fast LFO cycles to elicit brief impulses from the
oscillator signal (transients) in order to excite resonance in the filters. In this case, the filters will fade
out freely since their output signals are not affected by the FILT GAIN volume modulation.

VOLUME CONTROL

Next to the Oscillator Volume knob, the Virus features four other volume stages for every SINGLE or
PART:
Patch VolumeVolume level of the sound program. Use Patch Volume to balance out the fundamen-
tal differences in levels between the different sound programs. The Patch Volume is stored along
with the sound program. The unit value is 100.
Part VolumeVolume level of the MULTI-PART. Use Part Volume to balance out the different levels
within a MULTI program. Part Volume is stored along with the MULTI program. The unit value is zero
since Part Volume is a bipolar, relative parameter.
CHANNEL VOLUME
and ExpressionThese two performance controllers (Ctr. #7 and #11) can be used in order to make
temporary changes in signal level via a sequencer or volume pedal. Like all performance controllers,
these are not stored with the sound program. The unit value is 127. A double-click on the two Trans-
pose buttons (Panic function) resets Channel Volume and Expression to this unit value.
