Chapter 3: Virus Indigo Controls 17
The two Virus Indigo filters can be used:
In series, where sound is processed first by fil-
ter 1, then by filter 2.
In parallel, where sound is processed by each
filter independently.
Split, where the filters operate in parallel and
receive independent input signals whose stereo
spread can adjusted with the Pan Spread control
(in the Unison section of the Misc page).
Global
Use the controls in the Global section to control
the signal routing through the filters (series or
parallel) and the amount of saturation (the
amount of overtones) applied between the fil-
ters.
Saturation Saturation selects the amount of
overtones added to the filtered signal through
the use of distortion. Choices are: Off, Light
Soft, Mid, Hard, Digital, and Shaper.
Because saturation is added between the two fil-
ter stages, a saturated sound can be filtered by
filter 2.
Saturation character is strongly influenced by
oscillator volume, waveshape, and filter reso-
nance.
Osc Vol Controls the output level of oscillators 1
and 2 fed into the filter. Values above zero let
you add up to 12 dB of additional gain to the
saturation, without increasing the overall patch
volume.
Filter Routing Selects one of four different filter
routing options for operating the filters in series
or parallel:
SER4: The filters operate in series with two
poles each, for a total of four poles and a 24 dB
per octave slope.
SER6: The filters operate in series. Filter 1 has
four poles and filter 2 has two poles, for a total of
six poles and a 36 dB per octave slope.
PAR4: The filters operate in parallel with two
poles each.
SPLIT: The filters operate in parallel with two
poles each. They receive independent input sig-
nals whose stereo spread can be specified with
the Pan Spread control.
Filter Balance Controls the balance between the
output levels of filter 1 and 2.
