VIRUS CLASSIC MANUAL 147
The Vocoder Of The Virus
A similar task has to be performed to use several multimode parts to feed the vocoder. Use OUT-
PUT SELECT (OutSel) within the desired multimode patches to route them to the auxiliary sends.
Then select these auxiliary sends in the VOCODER MODE and INPUT page. Isn’t that easy?
The auxiliary sends of more than one part are mixed automatically (similar to a mixing desk). There-
fore, a whole drum track (which consists of several multiparts for several instruments) can be used
at once to drive the vocoder’s in. Using FILTER BALANCE you can balance the level of the original
signal.
The effect section (chorus, delay) and the output selection can be used in a vocoder patch.
The vocoder is only active when an external signal is detected and switches itself off 10 seconds
after the last input signal has ended. This assures that the Virus has all of its polyphony available
while the vocoder is switched on but no input signal is applied.
