VOLUME AND PANORAMA
POSITION
You probably noticed that the many of the
sound shaping options available in the VIRUS
occasionally influence the volume level. For in-
stance, an unfiltered sawtooth is naturally loud-
er than a highly filtered sawtooth because
whenever you blend a part of the frequency
spectrum out of the mix, you are automatically
reducing the overall volume of the signal. This is
why the VIRUS is equipped with a programma-
ble volume pot for each SINGLE PROGRAM. It
enables you to balance out the volume levels of
your sound programs.

Its value is set to 100 so that you have a reserve
or headroom of 27 volume increments when
you are dealing with highly filtered sounds.

You have already dealt with the Panorama posi-
tion as a modulation target of LFO 2. Here you
can not only modulate it, but also determine
settings manually. For this purpose, use the pa-
rameter PANORAMA which is also located in
the OUTPUT section of the EDIT menu. Like
many other parameters, Panorama is a starting
point for modulations. For instance you can
modulate the Panorama position via LFO 2
even if you have already set the Panorama to
the far left position. In this case of course you
will only hear the Panorama position shift to the
right.

VELOCITY
Velocity is one of the preferred modulation
sources of keyboard players: A light key attack
generates a low velocity value for the given
note, a heavy touch generates a high velocity
value. In the VIRUS you have ten modulation
targets available for Velocity. Locate the VE-
LOCITY section in the EDIT menu.
