The VIRUS kc and the indigo
pots still control only the VIRUS - and nothing
else. Only if you want to record the control data
in a sequencer, or definitely want to influence
another machine with the VIRUS’ controls, does
it make sense to send the control data simulta-
neously - or exclusively - to the MIDI-Out.

After having acquainted you with both of the VI-
RUS kc / indigo’s Local-Off Modes, it is time to
take a look at a few more of the keyboard ver-
sion’s features.

KEYBOARD & COMPANY
The keyboard is not the only difference between
a VIRUS kc / indigo and a VIRUS without a Key-
board. After all the keyboard comes with two
wheels and two pedal interfaces. The keyboard
is also equipped with an Aftertough funtion, that
is activated by pressing the keys beeing held.

The Pitch-Bend-Wheel is used mainly to bend
the pitch, but can also be used to control other
parameters via the modulation matrix. Pitch
Bend is a bipolar control source, which means
that the destination parameter can be shifted,
starting from a middle value, either up or down.
(A spring automatically returns the wheel to the
middle value when you let it go.

This is not the case with the Modulation Wheel:
This wheel sends “0” when turned all the way
down, and its maximum value when turned to
the top. The destination parameter can only be
shifted in one direction. The classic application
for the Modulation Wheel is to blend in vibrato
for a sound. As a standard it is usually assigned
to MIDI-Controller Nr. 1 (“Modulation”). Of
course the Modulation Wheel can control other
things instead of vibrato, e.g. the opening of a
filter. As a matter of fact the modulation wheel
can be used to control several parameters at
the same time, because it can be assigned to
different modulation destinations via the modu-
lation matrix - by the way, the same applies to

complex sound changes, one might call them
Sound-”Morphing.”

The VIRUS kc / indigo allows you to freely
choose the controller that the Modulation Wheel
sends - just in case you need it (Parameter
KEYB MODWHEEL (Off, 1...127)). The standard,
(and the factory preset) for the Modulation
Wheel is - as mentioned above - MIDI-Control-
ler 1. You could control any of the VIRUS’ pa-
rameters by assigning the wheel to the
corresponding controller.

Although this would work, we strongly advise
against doing so. If you assign a different con-
troller than “1” to the Modulation Wheel, the VI-

Modulation Wheel as such, and connections in
the modulation matrix, (ASSIGN-Menue) that
use the modulation wheel as the source of
modulation no longer have any effect. The right
way to do it, which we strongly recommend, is
to leave the Modulation Wheel on Controller 1,
and to select the corresponding modulation
destination for the wheel in the matrix. Then the
adjustments are also valid for each sound, and
everything works the way it is supposed to.

Let us turn to the two pedal interfaces: They en-
able you to connect switch pedals (on/off) or
control pedals (constant control signal). You can
choose a MIDI-Controller for the pedals (Pa-
rameter: KEYB PEDAL 1 or 2 (Off, 1...127)).
Standard are Controller 64 (hold or sustain ped-
al, the note played is held) and 7 (Channel- or
MIDI-volume, the volume of the sound played.)
Just as with the Modulation Wheel, the pedals
can be used to control different parameters via
the modulation matrix (ASSIGN).
