Unison Mode; Pan Spread - Access virus classic Handbuch

Unison Mode

determines how many voices the Virus will use to render a played note. In a nutshell, it determines
how fat or big the sound will be. When you activate UNISON mode for a sound, it can still be played
polyphonically. However, depending on the number of voices you've dialed in, its polyphony will of
course be considerably reduced in UNISON mode. The most efficient and the standard setting is
UNISON mode = Twin, where two voices are played for every note. In the OFF position, one voice
per note is played.
DETUNE
Slightly detunes the voices involved in UNISON mode.

PAN SPREAD

Creates a stereo panorama spread of the voices involved in UNISON mode. Use it connection with
UNISON DETUNE to create intense stereo effects.
Moreover, PAN SPREAD lets you spread the stereo panorama of the two oscillators or filter, pro-
vided that you select SPLIT as the FILTER ROUTING option (more on this in the section, "FILTER
ROUTING"). Then this option is enabled regardless of whether or not UNISON mode is active. This
feature allows you to create a stereo sound with just a single voice.
UNISON LFO PHASE
Shifts the phases of the two TWIN MODE voices' LFOs relatively. This effect livens up modulations.
The value range of -64 to +63 is equivalent to -180 to +180 degrees. LFO PHASE pertains to all
LFOs and does not impair the phase response of the LFOs within either of the two voices.
PUNCH INTENSITY
Here you can influence the attack of the amplifier envelope to enhance the sound with a more per-
cussive, snappy kind of feel. You may have guessed that PUNCH INTENSITY determines the inten-
sity of this effect. PUNCH is only effective when you have dialed in fairly short ATTACK rates for the
amplifier envelope.
