ACCESS VIRUS OS4 151
Input
the Virus, so the noise level of the
analog-digital converter increases
automatically. Consequently you
should dial in the cleanest, loudest
possible signal at the external
sound generator. The Virus features
a signal level indicator that
allows you to monitor the signal
level visually: see LED MODE in the
CTRL menu. (see “LED MODE” on
page 181).) You should only turn up
the INPUT BOOST when you are
unable to dial in a sufficient signal
level prior to the external inputs.
At a value of 0, the signal level is
not boosted at all.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it
affects all involved PARTs and
INPUT DIRECT THRU (see paragraph
below). It is not stored along
with the SINGLE PROGRAM.

Input Mode
In the Virus you have the option of
using the external analog inputs
instead of the internal oscillators
as signal sources that can be processed
by the filters, envelopes and
the internal effects. In addition to
the external analog inputs, you
also have two internal stereo aux
paths or subgroups available as
signal sources in MULTI MODE. The
output signals of other PARTs can
be routed via their respective OUT-
PUT SELECTs (see appropriate section)
to these aux paths.
You can chose from:
OFF The PART is not assigned
an external input but works with
its own sound sources (the oscillators
and the Noise Generator) in
the manner of a conventional analog
synthesizer.
DYNAMIC Instead of the internal
sound sources, an external signal
source is routed to the filter
section. The envelopes remain
functional so you have to play
notes in order to hear the external
signal source. For instance in this
mode you can manipulate the volume
to “chop up” the input signal
much the way a gate does. If you
turn FILTER KEY FOLLOW up, the
input signal is filtered by a different
filter frequency depending on
