34 CHAPTER 4Introduction VOLUME AND PANORAMAPOSITIONYou probably noticed that the many of thesound shaping options available in the VIRUSoccasionally influence the volume level. For in-stance, an unfiltered sawtooth is naturally loud-er than a highly filtered sawtooth becausewhenever you blend a part of the frequencyspectrum out of the mix, you are automaticallyreducing the overall volume of the signal. This iswhy the VIRUS is equipped with a programma-ble volume pot for each SINGLE PROGRAM. Itenables you to balance out the volume levels ofyour sound programs.Locate the parameter PATCH VOLUME in theCOMMON section of the EDIT menu.011111111111111111121 COMMONPatchVolume 100≤61111111111111111154Its value is set to 100 so that you have a reserveor headroom of 27 volume increments whenyou are dealing with highly filtered sounds.You have already dealt with the Panorama posi-tion as a modulation target of LFO 2. Here youcan not only modulate it, but also determinesettings manually. For this purpose, use the pa-rameter PANORAMA which is also located inthe OUTPUT section of the EDIT menu. Likemany other parameters, Panorama is a startingpoint for modulations. For instance you canmodulate the Panorama position via LFO 2even if you have already set the Panorama tothe far left position. In this case of course youwill only hear the Panorama position shift to theright. VELOCITYVelocity is one of the preferred modulationsources of keyboard players: A light key attackgenerates a low velocity value for the givennote, a heavy touch generates a high velocityvalue. In the VIRUS you have ten modulationtargets available for Velocity. Locate the VE-LOCITY section in the EDIT menu.011111111111111111121 VELOCITYOsc1Shape +0≤61111111111111111154There you will find the modulation intensitiesfor:which you can manipulate independently of oneanother in the familiar bipolar control range.A light key attack generates a low velocity valuefor the given note, a heavy touch generates ahigh velocity value.OSC 1 SHAPEOSC 2 SHAPEPULSE WIDTHFM AMOUNTFILT 1 ENV AMTFILT 2 ENV AMTRESONANCE 1RESONANCE 2VOLUMEPANORAMA
