synchronization. An infinite num-
ber of new harmonic spectra can
be thus generated with the param-
eters FM AMOUNT and OSC2 SEMI-
TONE. Moreover, these spectra can
be modulated continuously via
envelopes and LFOs. FM and SYNC
will of course also work with the
64 digital waveforms.

OSCILLATOR 3
The Virus offers a third master
oscillator per voice that you can
activate whenever you need it. It
lets you come up with even more
complex sounds by adding more
oscillations and spectra to the sig-
nal. When Oscillator 3 is switched
on, (i.e. OSCILLATOR 3 mode is not
set to the OFF position), the
oscillator per voice that you can
activate whenever you need it. It
lets you come up with even more
complex sounds by adding more
oscillations and spectra to the sig-
nal. When Oscillator 3 is switched
on, (i.e. OSCILLATOR 3 mode is not
set to the OFF position), the
polyphony of the Virus decreases
by up to six voices, depending on
how many voices use the third
oscillator in MULTI mode.

The second position of OSCILLATOR
3 mode is called SLAVE. Here Oscil-
lator 3 is active, but – just like
when it is set to the OFF position –
no further parameters are avail-
able and visible. In this operating
mode, Oscillator 3 is the "twin" of
Oscillator 2. It adds further oscilla-
tions, thus making the sound fat-
ter and more animated. Oscillator
2 and 3 are handled collectively
using Oscillator 2’s control features
just as if the two were a single
oscillator. All settings that you dial
in for Oscillator 2 apply to Oscilla-
tor 3, with one exception –
DETUNE. This parameter runs
counter to that of Oscillator 2.

You can select the waveshapes
individually for Oscillator 3 via the
following OSCILLATOR 3 mode
options: sawtooth, square (pulse
width modulation), sine, triangle
and all further spectral wave-
shapes. You have three further
parameters available once you set
Oscillator 3 to an individual wave-
shape. These are explained further
