Input Level Indicator
Alternatively, the RATE LEDs of LFO
1 and 2 can also serve as level indi-
cators for the left and right exter-
nal audio inputs. To this end, go to
the CTRL menu, select the menu
item SYSTEM, and set the Parame-
ter LED mode to Input. When the
parameter is set to Auto, the Virus
automatically activates this level
indicator mode when the selected
SINGLE program accesses the
external audio inputs. The LEDs
will flash rapidly to indicate that
the inputs are being overloaded.

Signals within the Virus may also
be overloaded and may distort
when their levels are too high.
Inherently, a virtual analog synthe-
sizer’s resonating filters and high
level of polyphony lend signal lev-

this type of problem occurs only in
a very few, very specific scenarios.
Since the problem is so context-
related, we chose not to lower the
device’s output power or limit its
parameters. Instead, we recom-
mend that you simply lower signal
levels (Patch Volume, etc.) to pre-
vent undesirable distortion.

To help you keep an eye on signal
levels, you can activate LED mode
to visually monitor the levels and
amount of distortion of the three
audio outputs and two aux buses.
