MASTER VOLUME
Controls the overall volume of the VIRUS. This
control determines the volume of the signal pair
piped through Output 1 before it is converted
into an analog signal. This means that under
normal circumstances, you should turn Master
Volume all they way up because you of course
want the VIRUS to deliver the most dynamic
signal possible.

SOUNDS
The program memory of the VIRUS was loaded
with sound programs (SINGLE PROGRAMs)
and sound combinations (MULTI PROGRAMs)
before it left the factory. To hear the SINGLE
PROGRAMs (and gain an initial impression of
the possibilities your new instrument has to of-
fer in terms of sounds), first make sure your
MIDI source is sending on MIDI Channel 1.

Press the SINGLE button. A number, a letter,
number and name appear in the display. These
indicate the the MIDI Channel, the current Pro-
gram Bank (A to D or A to H) as well as the
number and name of the current sound pro-
gram.

Now if you play notes you should be able to
hear this sound and a
≤
note (the round dot at
the end of the note staff is solid black) should
appear in the display every time you press a key
and release a key. If you do not hear a sound
but you see a half note (blank note head) check
to see if you are sending on the wrong MIDI
Channel.

Press the VALUE button to call up the 128 sin-

You’ll find that some sound programs are la-
beled with the abbreviations ”INP” or ”VOC”.
These use the external audio input as a signal
source for the filter section (INP) or vocoder
(VOC). This means that you won’t hear anything
until you route an audio signal into the external
audio inputs.

Tip: You can trigger a note on the Virus by
pressing both the EDIT and SYNC buttons in
the OSCILLATORS section at the same time –
this is the AUDITION function, which is espe-
cially useful for auditioning sounds when there
is no keyboard connected to the Virus.

Call up each of the 128 programs in Bank A in
turn. You can do this either with the VALUE
keys (which simply increment/decrement the
program number), or by holding down the MUL-
TI key and scrolling through programs with the
VALUE knob. To try out all the other sounds in
banks B to H, simply switch banks with the PA-
RAMETER/BANK buttons.
