We strive for accuracy, but errors can occur. Please verify details or contact us with questions.

• Synthesis: Virus TI digital synthesis in a compact desktop module, combining virtual analog sounds with wavetable, HyperSaw, grain, and formant oscillator modes.
• Voice Architecture:
  • Single-DSP engine with dynamic polyphony, typically around 10-50 voices depending on patch complexity and effects.
  • 4-part multitimbral operation for playing or sequencing four sounds independently; available processing power is shared across the parts.
• Oscillators: Three oscillators per voice with classic and digital sound sources
  • Classic mode includes saw and pulse waveforms, variable pulse width, and a selection of 64 spectral waves covering sine, triangle, and brighter digital timbres.
  • HyperSaw stacks up to nine saw waves per oscillator, with adjustable density and local detuning for wide pads, thick basses, and the big layered leads the Virus is known for.
  • Wavetable scanning with adjustable interpolation lets transitions move from smooth harmonic changes to deliberately stepped digital motion.
  • Grain and formant modes reshape wavetable material into more complex textures. Formant shifting is particularly useful for vocal-like movement and dramatic changes in tone.
  • FM and oscillator sync provide additional ways to create metallic sounds, sharper harmonics, and sweeping lead textures.
• Filters: Two multimode filters per voice with flexible routing
  • Lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and band-stop responses for everything from rounded basses to narrow, resonant sweeps.
  • Serial routing passes the sound through both filters in sequence. Parallel routing blends two separately filtered paths for more complex tonal shaping.
  • Analog Filter mode models a Minimoog-style cascade filter, with slopes from 6 to 24 dB per octave and self-oscillation.
  • Filter saturation adds drive and extra harmonics, with different saturation types offering both warmer overdrive and more abrasive digital colors.
• Modulation:
  • Three LFOs with free-running or tempo-synchronized operation, plus dedicated amplifier and filter envelopes.
  • Six modulation-matrix slots, each routing a source to as many as three destinations.
• Effects and Processing: Independent processing for the Snow's four multitimbral parts
  • Each part can have its own delay and reverb, allowing a dry bass, spacious pad, and echoing lead to retain their individual treatments in one setup.
  • Chorus and phaser add width, movement, and swirling modulation to individual sounds.
  • Ring modulation and frequency shifting extend the palette into metallic, dissonant, and experimental textures.
  • Distortion and 3-band EQ provide additional control over each part's edge and tonal balance.
  • Effects share the available DSP resources with the synth engine. More demanding patches and effects combinations reduce available polyphony.
• Arpeggiator: Programmable 32-step patterns with MIDI clock synchronization for rhythmic bass lines, chord patterns, and animated sequences.
• Memory: 512 RAM patches, 512 ROM patches, and 64 Multi locations for storing four-part setups.
• Controls:
  • Dedicated cutoff and resonance knobs, three value knobs beneath the LCD, and direct access to the main editing sections.
  • Easy mode presents key parameters; Expert mode opens the deeper sound engine.
• Connectivity:
  • Stereo analog outputs and stereo analog inputs for routing external audio through the synth's filters and effects.
  • The left output also accepts headphones. MIDI In/Out and USB support hardware and computer-based setups.
• Total Integration: The original Virus Control plugin provides software editing, recall, and USB audio in compatible legacy systems. Standard MIDI and analog audio operation remain available independently of the plugin.
• Sound and Workflow: A small-footprint source of wide pads, punchy basses, detailed leads, and evolving digital textures, with enough depth for programming individual sounds or building four-part arrangements.
