BALANCE
With this parameter, you can mix the output signals of the PARTs individually to the second output
that you chose by means of the SELECT option. When it is set to the OFF position, you will only
hear only the conventional output; when it is set to 127, the signal is routed exclusively to the sec-
ond output. The values in between these two extremes determine the weighted balance between
the conventional and the second output.
In conjunction with the conventional output of the given sound, you end up with a quadraphonic
signal that is suitable for Surround applications. Using Panorama (left, right) and the SECOND OUT-
PUT Balance (front, back), you can create a genuine quadraphonic mix in the Virus.
The second output can also serve as an FX loop. To this end, all you have to do is connect it to an
external effects device. The Balance parameter then serves as an effect send knob that determines
the balance between the direct or dry signal and the wet or effect signal. When you opt to use one
of the aux buses as a second output, the aux bus can also serve as an FX loop. You can route the
aux signal to a PART and have the PART process this signal further.
If no output has been selected for SECOND OUTPUT Select (Off), the Balance parameter is disa-
bled.
