The Saturation Stage
wards the negative control range, the KEY
FOLLOW effect is reversed. With the VIRUS,
you will encounter this feature - intensity control
via a bipolar parameter - again in conjunction
with other modulation sources and targets.

Now experiment as much as you like with differ-
ent KEY FOLLOW settings and tune the set-
tings via the Cutoff pot. And remember to bring
all of the other parameters you have encoun-
tered thus far into play.

THE SATURATION STAGE
In the signal chain of the VIRUS, Filter-1 is fol-
lowed by a saturation stage. It enables you to
add overtones to the filtered signal via distor-
tion. Locate and press the button labeled EDIT
in the FILTERS section.

The display will read ”SATURATION CURVE
OFF”, which means exactly what it says. With
the VALUE buttons or the VALUE pot, you can
now select from a number of saturation/distor-
tion curves. Next to the distortion curves, the
SATURATION stage offers further DSP effects
such as the shaper, rectifier and filter. These are
explained in detail in the section on the SATU-
RATION stage.

At this point we would like to mention the OSC
VOL pot in the MIXER section. The portion of
the control range from the far left to the center
VOL pot in the MIXER section. The portion of
the control range from the far left to the center
position (12 o’clock) determines the volume of
the filter section’s input signal. The portion of
the control range located to the right of the
center position (12 o’clock) does not achieve
any increase in volume; it simply intensifies the
degree of saturation or distortion. This effect is
only achieved when you have activated a satu-
ration curve. The intensity of the remaining
available DSP effects is also controlled via the
OSC VOL knob.

Feel free to experiment with the diverse satura-

THE SECOND FILTER
You probably noticed that by a adding a bit of
saturation to the signal you can come up with a
pretty heavy, aggressive sound - especially with
a low filter frequency level and high resonance.
You’re probably thinking these types of sounds
could do with some more filtering. We had the
same idea, which is one of the reasons why we
equipped the VIRUS with another filter per
voice.
