96TypeAccessible from the panel via the TYPE/MIX knob> Off: Distortion is disabled.> Light, Soft, Medium, Hard: Four analog-style distortioncurves with differing characteristics.> Digital: Digital clipping. Can even turn a Saw wave into asquare wave.> Wave Shaper: A sinusoidal waveshaper, the effect of whichis often similar to linear FM. Note that the results of theShaper are highly dependant upon the signal level (see“OSC VOLUME” on page 137 and INTENSITY below).> Rectifier: Full wave rectification with subsequent DC-com-pensation. See glossary.> Bit Reducer: Variable reduction of bit-depth. For generatingthe digital quantization effects typical of early samplers anddigital synthesizers.> Rate Reducer: Variable reduction of sampling rate. For gen-erating the aliasing effects typical of early samplers and dig-ital synthesizers.> Low Pass: Single pole low pass filter for variable reductionof high frequencies. This effect is only included to ensurecompatibility with older programs (early Virus models did notfeature a dedicated EQ section).> High Pass: Single pole high pass filter for variable reductionof low frequencies. Also included for compatibility reasons.IntensityAccessible from the panel via the INTENSITY knob.> 0 to 127: Generally determines the amount of effect. In thetwo filter models (see “Low Pass” and “High Pass” above),this is the cutoff frequency.Modulation destination “Distortion Intensity“.Analog BoostAnalog Boost can be used to emulate the frequency responseof various real analogue synthesizers. Note that boosting bassfrequencies will reduce the proportion of high frequencies inthe resulting signal.
