Global-, MIDI- and System Parameters
by rapidly flashing LEDs. 
To achieve maximum sound qual-
ity for the system, you should set 
the input signal to a level that is as 
close as possible to the saturation 
threshold. However you should 
avoid setting the level beyond the 
saturation threshold, otherwise 
you will hear undesirable distor-
tion in the signal. You can also use 
the level indicators to see if an 
input signal is actually patched in.
 
AUTO When you activate AUTO, 
the LFO Rate LEDs will automati-
cally indicate the input level when 
you switch to a SINGLE or PART 
that accesses an external audio 
outputs.

AUX2    Much like when the set-
ting «ExtIn» is enabled, you can 
have the two LFO Rate LED’s indi-
cate the signal levels of five further 
signal buses. This lets you check 
visually if a signal is being routed 
via a given bus and spot over-
loaded circuits. When you activate 
this option, the LFO1 LED indicates 
the left channel and the LFO2 LED 
indicates the right channel of the 
selected signal bus. The LEDs will 
flash rapidly to indicated an over-
loaded bus.
 STEAL    The ”Steal” setting indi-
cates if a voice is cut off in the 
interest of providing the voices 
required to render a new note 
whenever the polyphony that 
Virus has been exhausted. If the 
device is forced to cut a note off, it 
will select the voice whose signal 
level has dropped furthest. Consid-
ering that a voice fades out over a 
range of 0 to -144 decibels, but – 
depending on the sonic context – 
the signal fades into the back-
ground at -32 to -48 decibels, this 
process of cutting off fading notes 
is largely inaudible. The brightness 
of the LFO Rate LED will fluctuate 
to indicate the volume envelope’s 
current level for the note that the 
Virus is cutting off.
