Internal Audio Routing

The Virus is equipped with several 
analog outputs and inputs. We fig-
ured that you might want to con-
nect 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 ste-
reo aux buses (bus is another term 
for circuit) that let you configure 
this type of set-up for two or sev-
eral 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 pro-
cessed 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”.
