Internal Audio Routing

Aux Buses

The Virus is equipped with several analog outputs and inputs. We figured that you might want
to connect an input with an output via a patch cord so that you can process a part routed to
this output via another part that is addressed by this input, for example, to have on part filter
the other part.
You can do this if you like, but the good news is that you don't have to mess with patch cords
because the Virus gives you internal signal routing options in the form of stereo aux buses (bus
is another term for circuit) that let you configure this type of set-up for two or several of these
PARTs. The two aux buses appear as virtual outputs in the OUTPUT Select menu and as virtual
inputs in the INPUT Select menu. In MULTI mode, the output signal of a PART (or several
PARTs) may be routed via OUTPUT Select to one of the two aux buses. In order to make this
signal audible, you must select the same aux bus for another PART (or several PARTs) via
INPUT Select and set the given SINGLE program to Input mode (Static or Dynamic). You can
then process the signal patched in to this PART via the aux bus exactly the same way you
would process conventional analog signals routed in via the external input.
There is, however, a simpler option than this relatively involved processed of connecting PARTs
directly to one another: You can also use one of the aux buses as a "second output" for the
PART. We'll look at this function a little later in the section "SECOND OUTPUT".
