Oscillator (Edit-Menu)
FM AMOUNT
Controls the frequency modulation intensity of
the second oscillator by the first. Depending on
the selected FM AMOUNT and the interval be-
tween the oscillators, the frequency modulation
generates everything from slightly to radically
enriched spectra. In the VIRUS you have the
option of combining the two functions called
oscillator synchronization (SYNC) and frequen-
cy modulation (FM AMOUNT) to generate new
harmonic spectra. The characteristics of the
frequency modulation can be modified with the
FM Mode parameter (in the OSCILLATOR EDIT
menu). You may also select an external audio
signal and have Oscillator 2 modulate its fre-
quency.

OSCILLATOR 3 ON BUTTON
Activates the third oscillator. Because most
sounds only require two oscillators, the third
oscillator has been made optional, i.e. it has to
be switched on whenever necessary.

Oscillator 3 takes a certain amount of comput-
ing power, and the trade-off is a reduction of the
maximum polyphony: Playing a note using os-
cillator 3 uses up about an extra third of a voice
from the available polyphony. In other words:
Playing a three-voice chord using a sound
which includes oscillator 3 would use up four
(and not three) of the available voices.

OSCILLATOR-1 WAVE
Selects among of 64 spectral waveshapes. This
parameter is identical to WAVE SEL/PW (see
appropriate section) when SHAPE (see appro-
priate section) is set to the left half of its control
range. However, in contrast to WAVE SEL/PW,
WAVE is always available regardless of the cur-
rent SHAPE setting.

OSCILLATOR-1 KEY FOLLOW
Determines the intensity of the pitch control via
the keyboard: At the value +32 (standard set-
ting) the oscillator is controlled normally, i.e. the
octave you are playing is identical to the oscilla-
tor octave; at +63 every ascending octave you
play transposes the oscillator upwards by two
octaves (whole note scale); +15 transposes the
oscillator upwards by one octave for every two
ascending octaves you play (quarter note
scale); at 0 the keyboard control option is off.
Negative values generate opposite control in-
tensities.
