About the Delay/Reverb
OSC VOL / INPUT
When one of the two INPUT modes is activated,
the OSC VOL knob rather than the oscillators
controls the level of the input signal patched in-
to the Filter section and of course also the gain
of the SATURATION stage. In INPUT Dynamic
mode, the level can increase surprisingly swiftly
when you play several voices polyphonically.
The reason for this is that, in contrast to when
you’re dealing with several oscillator signals,
the voices are correlated because they are re-
ceiving an identical input signal. In the event
that the VIRUS generates distortion when
you’re dealing with this type of signal routing
set-up, be sure to back off the input level a tad
via the OSC VOL knob.

INPUT LEVEL INDICATOR
Alternatively, the RATE LEDs of LFO 1 and 2
can also serve as level indicators for the left and
right external audio inputs. To this end, go to
the SYSTEM menu, select the menu item SYS-
TEM, and set the Parameter LED mode to In-
put. When the parameter is set to Auto, the
VIRUS automatically activates this level indica-
tor mode when the selected SINGLE program
accesses the external audio inputs. The LEDs
will flash rapidly to indicate that the inputs are
being overloaded.

Der korrekte Pegel sollte an dem Gerät einge-
stellt werden, welches die analogen Signale lie-
fert, da so die AD-Wandler des VIRUS optimal
ausgenutzt werden. Der Parameter INPUT
Boost sollte nur in Ausnahmefällen zur Pegelan-
hebung verwendet werden, da er erst nach den
AD-Wandlern das Signal digital verstärkt, und
somit die Aussteuerung der Wandler selbst
nicht beeinflusst.

You should dial in a suitable input level on the
device that is sending the analog signals. The
reason for this is that you want to feed the high-
device that is sending the analog signals. The
reason for this is that you want to feed the high-
est possible clean signal level to the analog-to-
digital converters of the VIRUS so that they will
deliver the best possible performance. You
should only turn up INPUT BOOST as a last re-
sort because it is located post A/D converters
and boost signals digitally, which of course
doesn’t affect the level of the converters.

Signals within the VIRUS may also be overload-
ed and may distort when their levels are too
high. Inherently, a virtual analog synthesizer’s
resonating filters and high level of polyphony
lend signal levels considerable dynamic poten-
tial. We could only rule out this type of distortion
entirely by lowering the fundamental output of
the device significantly or by limiting specific
parameters. However, this type of problem oc-
curs only in a very few, very specific scenarios.
Since the problem is so context-related, we
chose not to lower the device’s output power or
limit its parameters. Instead, we recommend
that you simply lower signal levels (Patch Vol-
ume, etc.) to prevent undesirable distortion.

To help you keep an eye on signal levels, you
can activate LED mode to visually monitor the
levels and amount of distortion of the three au-
dio outputs and two aux buses.

ABOUT THE DELAY/REVERB
DELAY/REVERB EFFECT SEND
The Effect Send parameter works like a classic
aux send knob on a mixer (post-fader), i.e. it ad-
justs the level of the global DELAY/REVERB ef-
fect signal without influencing the dry signal.
However, the dry signal is faded out in the final
third of the control range so that you can also
