EFFECT PARAMETER
Effect Parameters
‘Effect’ is the generic term used to describe a process which affects the sound of a patch at the output
stage. Traditionally, the output of an instrument, such as a keyboard or guitar, was sent through an external
device, like a chorus or delay unit in order to add an extra dimension to the sound. The Virus TI Snow offers
several such effects internally, and per Part - far more convenient than the 20+ external devices this would
have required otherwise! Furthermore, each of these effects can be modulated by the same sources as the
synth engine, which allows the effects to become an integral part of any sound, and a powerful synthesis
tool in their own right.
The Virus TI Snow offers multiple effects per patch which all can be used at the same time.
