And last but not least, you have all of these features without the major hassles inherent in vintage
analog synthesizers. Compared with its behemoth predecessors, the Virus is exceptionally compact,
light-weight and dependable. You never have to contend with lengthy warm-up periods and pitch
instability due to temperature changes. (You might even feel that the Virus is TOO small. Those
massive analog beasts certainly had a stunning visual effect, especially on stage. However, we will
guarantee that you will change your mind the first time you carry your Virus into a rehearsal room
and find that you are not even winded. The long-term benefits become apparent when your
chiropractor stops sending you Christmas cards.)

In additional to its killer sounds and tone, the Virus was designed to deliver ultimate handling and
control comfort. It is equipped with dedicated knobs and buttons for the crucial synthesizer functions,
the more unusual parameters are accessible via data entry procedures. We distinguished between these
two levels of expertise to enable you to create complex sounds while keeping the user interface as clear
and uncluttered as possible. If you enjoy devising complicated sound structures, you can set the Virus to
Expert Mode, where you will find a wide range of additional intriguing sound parameters. A novice might
find the vast number of options daunting, so we kept them separate from the standard operating mode.
In all modesty, we are especially proud of a feature we developed called Adaptive Parameter Smoothing.
For the first time in the history of synthesizers equipped with memories, you can manipulate a knob or
control feature without an audible step or increment. In other words, the sound does not change
abruptly but SEAMLESSLY. No more zipper noises! The Virus responds just as smoothly as analog
synthesizers did prior to the introduction of digital sound storage. Additionally, the four control feature
operating modes let you program a sensible as well as practical setup for the diverse live and sequencer-
based applications.
And users of contemporary software sequencers will appreciate the fact that the Virus sends all sound
shaping commands immediately in the form of MIDI Controller or Poly Pressure data (and of course
accepts all of the corresponding Controller and Sys-Ex messages). This feature lets you dynamically
control the Virus and all its functions via computer.

Although far from complete, the features listed above give you some indication that you now own an
exceptionally versatile, high-quality musical instrument that will give you plenty of joy for years to come.
We certainly hope you can fully exploit the enormous potential of this fine instrument.
