you to monitor the signal level visually: see LED MODE in the CONFIG menu (See “LED MODE” on
page 132.) You should only turn up the INPUT BOOST when you are unable to dial in a sufficient
signal level prior to the external inputs. At a value of 0, the signal level is not boosted at all.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it affects all involved PARTs and INPUT DIRECT THRU (see para-
graph below). It is not stored along with the SINGLE PROGRAM.
Input Mode
In the Virus you have the option of using the external analog inputs instead of the internal oscillators
as signal sources that can be processed by the filters, envelopes and the internal effects. In addition
to the external analog inputs, you also have two internal stereo aux paths or subgroups available as
signal sources in MULTI MODE. The output signals of other PARTs can be routed via their respective
OUTPUT SELECTs (see appropriate section) to these aux paths.You can chose from:
Value Description
OFF
The PART is not assigned an external input but works with its own sound
sources (the oscillators and the Noise Generator) in the manner of a con-
ventional analog synthesizer.
DYNAMIC
Instead of the internal sound sources, an external signal source is routed to
the filter section. The envelopes remain functional so you have to play
notes in order to hear the external signal source. For instance in this mode
you can manipulate the volume to “chop up” the input signal much the way
a gate does. If you turn FILTER KEY FOLLOW up, the input signal is filtered
by a different filter frequency depending on the key you press. The sound
program can still be played polyphonically and you can allocate several dif-
ferent filter frequencies and independent envelopes simultaneously (!) to
the input signal via the keyboard.
