Patch Distortion
Use Patch Distortion to add saturation or clipping effects to the
patch as a whole. Although the list is very similar to that of filter sat-
uration (see Filter Page), the effect is quite different, as all the voices
(notes) go through the same instance of the distortion effect. This
means that the intensity of the distortion is enhanced as you play more notes simultaneously,
whereas filter saturation is applied to each voice individually.
> INTENSITY
Determines the level of distortion. In the case of LowPass and HighPass (1-pole filters), this
determines the cutoff frequency.
> CURVE
Choose from Off, Light, Soft, Middle, Hard, Digital, Shaper, Bit Reducer, Rate Reducer, Low-
Pass and HighPass.
Chorus
Use the renowned Virus chorus effect to add depth
and movement to the sound. The chorus works by
adding a delayed copy to the original signal and
modulating the delay time with an LFO to create a
detuned effect. Like the phaser, this will also convert
a mono sound into stereo.
> MIX
Determines the balance between the original signal and the chorus signal. At 0 the effect is
Off, at 64, the balance is equal, and at 127 only the output of the chorus is audible. It usually
makes sense to set Mix at a value somewhere between 0 and 64, as both signals are required
to achieve the chorusing effect.
> RATE
Determines the rate of the chorus LFO.
