The Parameters
FM AMOUNT Controls the frequency
modulation intensity of
the second oscillator by the first.
Depending on the selected FM
AMOUNT and the interval
between the oscillators, the frequency
modulation generates
everything from slightly to radically
enriched spectra. In the Virus
you have the option of combining
the two functions called oscillator
synchronization (SYNC) and frequency
modulation (FM AMOUNT)
to generate new harmonic spectra.
The characteristics of the frequency
modulation can be modified
with the FM Mode parameter
(in the OSCILLATOR EDIT menu).
You may also select an external
audio signal and have Oscillator 2
modulate its frequency.

WAVE Selects among of 64 spectral
waveshapes. This parameter is
identical to WAVE SEL/PW (see
appropriate section) when SHAPE
(see appropriate section) is set to
the left half of its control range.
However, in contrast to WAVE SEL/
PW, WAVE is always available
regardless of the current SHAPE
setting.
