ACCESS VIRUS OS5 33The MOD Sectionparameter located in the LFO EDIT menu, youcan have the ”ramp” rise or fall exponentially. Ifyou choose a triangle for your waveshape, thedevice will generate an ascending phase (at-tack) and a descending phase (decay). LFOCurve also lets you determine the temporal re-lationship between attack and decay; in otherwords, their respective rates.. Dial in the desiredspeed via the RATE pot.You can also use S&H and S&G in ENV MODEto come up with some attractive results: S&Hgenerates a single random value at the start ofa note (in this case, the RATE pot has no effect);S&G works in the same manner although in thiscase the RATE value is crucial. It determines theamount of time it takes to glide from the previ-ous to the new random value. THE MOD SECTIONYou may have noticed that, apart from the threeLFOs, an entry called MOD also appears as anoption when you press the Select button. Thisgives you access to the Virus modulation ma-trix. The six ASSIGN entries (selectable via theSELECT button) represent six freely definablemodulation connections. After you have select-ed one of them, you can set the modulationsource, destination and intensity in the menu.To maintain compatibility with previous Virusmodels, ASSIGN 2 has two destinations andASSIGN 3 has three. Each of the other AS-SIGNs have only a single modulation destina-tion.Please note: When MOD is selected instead ofan LFO, the RATE knob will always control LFO1 by default. SOFT KNOB 1/2These are the two freely assignable controls.The destination of these controls can be de-fined within the Edit menu (SOFT KNOB 1/2MODE). There are two parameters, one globaland one local i.e. applying only to the currentSINGLE program (which will override the globaldefinition if defined). SOFT KNOB 2 doubles asa value control, and therefore only works as aSOFT KNOB when the Virus is in Play mode i.e.no Edit menu is selected. For each SOFTKNOB, you can choose a short description froma list in the menu, and this will be saved as partof the SINGLE program. In Play mode, this willappear in the display – to remind you of whateach SOFT KNOB does when you are playingyour Virus.(see “The SOFT Knobs (Controls)” on page 49).EDITEDITAMOUNTAMOUNTASSIGN 1ASSIGN 1ASSIGN 4ASSIGN 41 2 / 32 / 3ASSIGN 2ASSIGN 2ASSIGN 5ASSIGN 5ASSIGN 3ASSIGN 3ASSIGN 6ASSIGN 6MODMODFILTER 2FILTER 2PW 2PW 2PANPANASSIGNASSIGNSYNCSYNCPHASEPHASESHAPE 1+2SHAPE 1+2OSC 1OSC 1FM AMTFM AMTOSC 2OSC 2FILTER 1FILTER 1PW 1PW 1OSC 1OSC 1OSC 2OSC 2PW 1+2PW 1+2RESO 1+2RESO 1+2FILT GAINFILT GAINASSIGNASSIGN061212SELECTSELECTWAVEWAVELFOS / MODLFOS / MOD321 MODMODLFO 1LFO 1LFO2LFO2LFO3LFO3RATERATE SHAPESHAPE
