LFO1 lets you modulate the volume 
of a voice. You’ll find this function 
under LFO1 Amount FILT GAIN in 
the LFO 1 menu. We deliberately 
positioned the point of modula-
tion prior to the filter section, so 
that the degree of distortion can 
be modulated at the same time 
when you have activated the SAT-
URATION unit. Beyond that, you 
can use fast LFO cycles to elicit 
brief impulses from the oscillator 
signal (transients) in order to 
excite resonance in the filters. In 
this case, the filters will fade out 
freely since their output signals are 
not affected by the FILT GAIN vol-
ume modulation.

Next to the Oscillator Volume 
knob, the Virus features four other 
volume stages for every SINGLE or 
PART:

Patch VolumeVolume level of the 
sound program. Use Patch Volume 
to balance out the fundamental 
differences in levels between the 
different sound programs. The 
Patch Volume is stored along with 
the sound program. The unit value 
is 100.

Part VolumeVolume level of the 
MULTI-PART. Use Part Volume to 
balance out the different levels 
within a MULTI program. Part Vol-
ume is stored along with the 
MULTI program. The unit value is 
zero since Part Volume is a bipolar, 
relative parameter.

and ExpressionThese two perfor-
mance controllers (Ctr. #7 and #11) 
can be used in order to make tem-
porary changes in signal level via a 
sequencer or volume pedal. Like all
