CHAPTER 8
Multi Mode & System Setup

The following parameters are global parameters
and are accessible at any time in the SYSTEM
menu regardless of the current operating mode.
If you own a keyboard version of the VIRUS, the
parameters for the keyboard and other manual
control devices will appear at this point. These
are explained in detail in the chapter “The key-
board versions of the Virus” on page 125

Determines the degree to which the Random
Patch Generator changes sound parameters.
Small values here often lead to subtle changes,
but repeatedly pressing the RANDOM button
can make the effect more and more pro-
nounced. Larger values can make drastic
changes to the sound. Pressing UNDO cancels
the the last randomization, and  REDO (press
the Undo button again) restores the the last ran-
domization.

This parameter determines the number of
sound parameters that are influenced by the
RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR. If you enter a
low value for PAR DEPTH, just a few parame-
ters will be modified. Beyond that, the manner
in which the few parameters are edited assures
that the sound is manipulated “organically”.

This simply means that it isn’t bent radically so
that, for example, the given sound can still be
played “tonally”.

As you increase the values for PAR DEPTH, oth-
er parameters that have a greater impact on the
timbre of the sound are changed. At higher val-
ues, the RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR tends
to generate noise-like sounds or special effects.

If this parameter is set to “Off”, all keyboard-re-
lated data (i.e. Note On, Aftertouch, the wheels
and both pedals) are only sent to the MIDI OUT
socket, and not directly to the Virus sound gen-
eration.
