ACCESS VIRUS RACK XL OS5 103PunchPDF VERSION - RESTRICTIONS APPLYPHASE pertains to all LFOs and does not impairthe phase response of the LFOs within either ofthe two voices.011111111111111111121 COMMONLfoPhase 30≤61111111111111111154 PUNCHPUNCH INTENSITYHere you can influence the attack of the amplifi-er envelope to enhance the sound with a morepercussive, snappy kind of feel. You may haveguessed that PUNCH INTENSITY determinesthe intensity of this effect. PUNCH is only effec-tive when you have dialed in fairly short AT-TACK rates for the amplifier envelope.011111111111111111121 PUNCHIntensity 64≤61111111111111111154 ASSIGN/MOD MATRIXThe 6 ASSIGN options let you control up to 9modulation destinations via up to 6 modulationsources. Simply go to ASSIGN, select one ofthe modulation sources (SOURCE) and one orseveral modulation destinations (DESTINA-TION). Each of these configurations features aparameter that determines modulation intensity(AMOUNT). ASSIGN 1,4,5 and 6 can each con-trol one modulation destination, ASSIGN 2 cancontrol two and ASSIGN 3 can control threemodulation destinations, each with independ-ent AMOUNTs.For your SOURCEs, you have two differenttypes of modulation sources to chose from. Thefirst type comprises external MIDI controllerssuch as the modulation wheel or breath control-ler. We call these ”performance controllers” todistinguish them from sound parameters suchas CUTOFF and REVERB that may also be ac-cessed directly via MIDI controllers. (Althoughstrictly speaking, they’re on-board devices, themodulation wheels of the Virus kb and Virus in-digo are also considered to be external MIDIcontrollers since they are not actually compo-nent parts of the sound generation system).The second type comprises the sound genera-tion system’s internal modulators, for example,LFOs and envelopes. These also have fixedmodulation assignments (LFO AMOUNT, ENVAMOUNT), but are freely available along withthe Modulation Matrix.Let’s take a look at the internal modulationsources:- AMPENV & FILTENV The corresponding en-velope is the modulation source.- LFO1, LFO2, LFO3 The corresponding LFOis the modulation source.- VELOON The note on velocity is the modula-tion source.
