FOR OSCILLATOR-3
MODE The Virus offers a third mas-
ter 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 OSCILLA-

TOR
3 mode is called SLAVE. Here
Oscillator 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
below. All other parameters as well
as the settings for the oscillator
modulations (LFO pulse width
modulation and so forth) are dic-
tated by Oscillator 2. This doesn’t
limit the functionality of the third
oscillator by much (if at all), but it
certainly facilitates intuitive han-
dling. The FM, Sync and Ring Mod-
ulator functions are not available
for the third oscillator.

Like all other oscillators, the level
of Oscillator 3 is controlled via
OSCVOL.
