About the Analog 1pole..4pole lter modes: In addition to the classic Virus lters, famous for their smooth,
musical character, the Virus TI Snow offers an analog-style lter, inspired by the ‘ladder’ cascade array of
the Minimoog synthesizer. However, where the original offered only a 4-pole lowpass, we have provided the
option to choose between 1 and 4 poles on a single lter. In fact, by using Filter 2 as well, it’s possible to
achieve a 5 or even 6 pole cascade lter! Embedded saturation and resonance that can be pushed all the
way to self-oscillation ensure a very convincing analog character.
Tip: Please be aware that when using the Analog lter, the polyphony for that Part will be reduced by up to
50%.
Key Follow
-64 to +63: How much cutoff follows the MIDI note and pitch bender.
Env Polarity
Positive, Negative: The effect of Env Amount on lter 1 can be inverted by setting this parameter to Negative.
Filter-2
Cutoff
0 to 127 or -64 to +63: Filter 2 threshold frequency. If Cutoff Link is active, lter 2 cutoff becomes a bipolar
offset to lter 1 instead of an absolute value.
Modulation destination “Filter2 Cutoff”.
Resonance
0 to 127: Accentuation of the lter 2 Cutoff frequency. The actual effect of resonance depends on the se-
lected Mode (see below).
Modulation destination “Filter2 Resonance”.
Env Amount
0 to 127: Filter 2 envelope amount i.e. the amount of lter envelope applied to its cutoff. Note that this can
be inverted by changing the polarity.
Modulation destination “Filter2 Env Amount”.
