PARAMETER REFERENCE MANUAL68
Bend Up •
-64 to +63 semitones: How much pitch bend is applied to the oscillators when the Pitch Bender (on a key-
board etc.) is at maximum.
Bend Down •
-64 to +63 semitones: How much pitch bend is applied when the Pitch Bender is at minimum.
• Bender Scale
Mode Meaning
Linear Pitch bend is directly proportional to the position of the Pitch Bender.
Exponential Pitch bend sensitivity is lower when the bender is close to its middle position, allowing for more
subtle control over pitch.
Unison
“Unison” means several instances of the same note at the same time. In the Virus, voices can be stacked
up, detuned against each other and spread across the stereo eld (see “Pan Spread” below) for a richer
sound. The trade-off is a reduction in polyphony.
Voices •
Off, Twin, 3 to 16: How many voices are used for each note. “Twin” is relatively efcient, only halving the
maximum polyphony while giving ne control over LFO phase (see below). If set to Off, no other Unison pa-
rameters will be visible except Pan Spread (see below).
Detune •
0 to 127: How much the stacked voices are detuned against each other.
Modulation destination “Unison Detune”.
Pan Spread •
0 to 127: The stereo width of the signal. As well as applying to Unison sounds, this parameter also applies to
any Parallel and Split mode sounds so it is still visible even if Voices (see above) is set to Off.
Modulation destination “Pan Spread“.
