The Effects Section

For every SINGLE program and every PART, you can access up to five different stereo effects
individually. You'll find these effects – ring modulator, distortion, analog boost, phaser and cho-
rus – in the aptly named EFFECTS menu. In MULTI mode, you thus have a total of 80 simulta-
neously available effects.
The vocoder and the delay/reverb section are each available just once, but you can address
them individually via the PARTs' Effect Send parameter. In the signal path, all effects are con-
nected in series in accordance with their sequence in the Effects menu.
Each SINGLE program contains its own settings for the delay/reverb section. In MULTI mode,
the sound programs involved share the same delay/reverb section. For this reason, the param-
eter values are determined by the settings of the currently active MULTI program. (See "The
Effects Menu" on page 107).

Audio Inputs

You can also opt to use external audio signals in place of the on-board oscillators for the sound
programs or MULTI PARTs. The Virus is equipped with two inputs for external signals. You can
route these to its sound generating components (the filters, the saturation stage as well as the
volume and panorama stage) or patch them directly to the effects section of the Virus. External
audio signals may also be used as carrier or modulator signals for the vocoder. Any PART that
you use to process an external audio signal in MULTI mode can, like every other PART, be
routed freely to one or two of the six audio outputs.
