Serial (in series)
Routing term. The signal is sent to one module (e.g. a filter),
which in turn sends its output to another module (e.g. another
filter). See also Parallel.
Slave
Module with reduced functionality (following parameters set by
another module). In the Virus, oscillator 3 is partly a “slave” of
oscillator 2.
Slot
In the Virus: individual modulation matrix routing module.
Sound engine
That part of a synthesizer responsible for generating sound.
Source
See Modulator.
Square wave
Special form of Pulse wave in which the Pulse Width is exactly
50%.
Subtractive synthesis
Often called Analogue Synthesis. The method of creating
sounds by removing (subtracting) frequencies from relatively
complex waveforms. See also Additive synthesis.
Sync
Synchronization. In oscillator sync, one oscillator resets the
phase of another (usually whenever it crosses zero in the posi-
tive direction).
Sync Phase
See Sync above. An Assign Target for LFO3 in the Virus, this is
the phase angle to which oscillator 2 is reset.
System Exclusive (Sysex)
Device-specific MIDI data used for transferring patches, edit-
ing parameters via computer etc..
T
Templ at e
A ready-to-use blueprint, model, stencil etc.. In the Virus TI: a
preset for remote control of external devices using the Virus
knobs.
