In all modesty, we are especially proud of a feature we developed called Adaptive Parameter
Smoothing. For the first time in the history of synthesizers equipped with memories, you can manip-
ulate a knob or control feature without an audible step or increment. In other words, the sound does
not change abruptly but SEAMLESSLY. No more zipper noises! The Virus responds just as smoothly
as analog synthesizers did prior to the introduction of digital sound storage
And users of contemporary software sequencers will appreciate the fact that the Virus sends all
sound shaping commands immediately in the form of MIDI Controller or Poly Pressure data (and of
course accepts all of the corresponding Controller and SysEx messages). This feature lets you
dynamically control the Virus and all its functions via computer.
Although far from complete, the features listed above give you some indication that you now own
an exceptionally versatile, high-quality musical instrument that will give you plenty of joy for years to
come. We certainly hope you can fully exploit the enormous potential of this fine instrument.
Have fun and enjoy!
