VIRUS CLASSIC MANUAL 37
Introduction
Velocity
Velocity is one of the preferred modulation sources of keyboard players: A light key attack gener-
ates 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 VELOCITY section in the
EDIT menu.
There you will find the modulation intensities for: OSC1 SHAPE, OSC2 SHAPE, PULSE WIDTH, FM
AMOUNT, FILT 1 ENV AMT (Filter 1 ENVELOPE AMOUNT), FILT 2 ENV AMOUNT, Resonance 1,
Resonance 2, VOLUME and PANORAMA which you can manipulate independently of one another
in the familiar bipolar control range.
A light key attack generates a low velocity value for the given note, a heavy touch generates a high
velocity value.
Unison Mode
When we talked about the oscillators, we mentioned that by subtly detuning signals, you can beef
up sounds and achieve string-like sounds. The Virus is equipped with features that allow you to take
this type of tonal manipulation a step further. On of these is the so-called UNISON MODE. It enables
you to initiate two or more voices for each note played, which in turn lets you detune many oscilla-
tors. UNISON MODE also offers the option of spreading the voices generated by one note in the
stereo panorama and shifting the phases of their LFOs so that all types of periodic effects can be
used to produce an even more exciting signal.
