Oscillators
The Virus TI Snow offers several different oscillator modes, which between them offer classic analog emula-
tion, HyperSaw (up to 9 saw waves from a single oscillator), Wavetable and even Granular synthesis.
The Virus has a total of ve internal sound-generation sources: Three main oscillators, a sub-oscillator and a
noise generator.
The Virus TI offers ve fundamentally different oscillator modes: Classic (as in previous Virus models), Hyper-
Saw (up to 9 layered, detunable Saw waves), WaveTable (smoothly interpolated, additive waves), Grain Table
and Formant Table (which are both based on granular audio).
Oscillator 1 (Classic)
The following information applies to oscillator 1 in Classic mode only.
Mode •
Classic, HyperSaw, WaveTable: Selects the basic type of oscillator.
Shape •
Spectral Wave ... Sawtooth ... Pulse: Waveform mix. At minimum, you will only hear one of the 64 spectral
waves, at dead centre you will hear a pure Sawtooth, at maximum a pure Pulse wave. Set intermediate val-
ues for different mixtures (these are displayed as percentages). Modulation destination “Osc1 Shape”.
Wave Select / Pulse Width •
Two distinct functions, depending on the value of the Shape parameter (see below): If Shape is anywhere
below centre, WAVESELECT/PW will select a spectral wave. If SHAPE is set to “Sawtooth” or above, the
WAVESELECT/PW knob will control pulse width instead...
Sine, Triangle, Waves 3 to 64: Spectral Wave function. Modulation destination “Osc1WaveSelect“.
or
50.0% to 100%: Pulse width function. Modulation destination “Osc1PulseWidth“.
Semitone •
-48 to +48 semitones: The nominal pitch of oscillator 1. Modulation destination “Osc1Pitch“.
