the DEPTH i.e. modulation intensity of the LFO.
Please note that signal paths in the Virus Cho-
rus/Flanger are stereo throughout: The stereo
position and any panorama modulation or ster-
eo spread values are preserved in the proc-
essed signal.

DELAY/REVERB
The DELAY/REVERB section is responsible for
two different effects. The SEND control deter-
mines the relative amount of effect signal:
two different effects. The SEND control deter-
mines the relative amount of effect signal:
The DELAY effect delays the input signal, and is
usually used for echoes. The nominal delay time
set by the DELAY/REV-TIME control can be
modulated so that stereo phasing effects can
appear. The delay time can be synchronized to
the clock so that echoes will be „in time“ and
will automatically adjust to any tempo changes.
There are also several fixed-pattern delay algo-
rithms, many of which delay the left and right
sides differently i.e. using different note values.
Interesting rhythmic patterns can be created by
increading feedback level (via the FEEDBACK/
DAMPING control).

REVERB simulates the effect of the boundaries
in real spaces such as living rooms or cathe-
drals. There are several parameters here which
go beyond pure simulation of real spaces. The
predelay parameter normally found in reverb
units is handled by the DELAY section de-
scribed above – DELAY is in front of REVERB in
the signal path. REVERB can be synchronized
to the clock so you can seamlessly integrate the
effect into the rhythmic context of your music.
The DELAY/REV TIME control determines the
decay time, and FEEDBACK/DAMPING sets the
amount of high frequency damping.

THE ARPEGGIATOR
The ARP section located inconspicuously be-
low the main volume control is the Virus ar-
peggiator. This section only has an ON/OFF
button and an EDIT button (which opens the ar-
peggiator menu).

Arpeggiators break chords into individual notes,
which are (usually) played back in succession.
However, the Virus arpeggiator offers numerous
playback options including rhythmic repetition
of the unchanged chord. It is a very intuitive aid
for creating original rhythms, melodic sequenc-
es, bass lines and much more. Simply switch
on the Arpeggiator and try it out! The arpeggia-
tor parameters are explained in the Parameters
chapter.

Diver. This is a powerful tool for managing
sounds and controlling all Virus parameters
