quency. If on the other hand you
turn the KEY FOLLOW pot clock-
wise towards the positive control
range, you will find that the filter
opens up increasingly as the pitch
increases with higher notes. At
lower notes, the filter closes down
again. If you turn the pot counter-
clockwise towards the negative
control range, the KEY FOLLOW
effect is reversed. With the Virus,
you will encounter this feature -
intensity control via a bipolar
parameter - again in conjunction
with other modulation sources
and targets.

Now experiment as much as you
like with different KEY FOLLOW
settings and tune the settings via
the CUTOFF pot. And remember to
bring all of the other parameters
you have encountered thus far into
play.

THE SATURATION
STAGE
In the signal chain of the Virus, Fil-
ter-1 is followed by a saturation
stage. It enables you to add over-
tones to the filtered signal via dis-
tortion. Locate and press the
button labeled EDIT in the FILTERS
section.
