View Full Version : Virus TI signal flow

Is there a diagram anywhere that shows the actual signal path through the Virus?
I'm curious about where the oscillators, external inputs, etc mix, the filter routing, and then which effects are applied in which order.
The manual has general hints, but I've never seen a diagram that shows the complete path.
thanks

Hi, the only official 'flow diagram' I saw was of the Virus C:
http://Infekted.org/virus/files/VirusCBlockDiag.png 76kb (1074 x 817) PNG
- The aux-buss aspect from the C was dropped on the TI, however I believe Access are working to re-include it.
Regards the filters, here's how the classic configurations worked:

Understanding how the filters are routed is one of the key aspects of programming the Virus, I feel.
Edit, Ronkaz pipped me to it on the first one.

I do remember seeing that diagram. I wasn't sure if it applied to the TI or not (obviously the filter serial/parallel is still there).
What happens with the effects section? Based on the manual, it seems that at a minimum it's
Overall synth sound --> Delay --> Reverb (in series - ie you can't have delay after reverb or in parallel with each other).
Is EQ applied after all that or to the raw signal going in? What about the lower effects sections? Based on that PNG file, all the lower effects + EQ come before delay and reverb.
So I guess the overall flow is
synth output --> lower effects + EQ --> delay --> reverb.
When I get home tonight I'll run some basic tests -- it should be pretty easy to hear if the sound is chorused before the delay (for example). The EQ may be harder to hear.
Thanks

dear m8z
I'm really new here so forgive me if i ask or say something stupid :)
I also searched for this signal path for the effect section on my Snow, but i could not find my awnser.
It seems that when i use my Snow in a host seq, and every patch is routed to a different outpout (USB 1,2&3), and i play a couple of notes with sertain patches, the sound is ducked like in a distortion or compressor wich takes a lot of input, if you know what mean...
It LOOKS like the effects are sorted in a 'send' configuration.
Are the effects per patch?
I can understand that a reverb or delay might work like that, but a distortion?
please advice cheers, wendel

Effects in the Snow (and rest of the TI range, unless I'm mistaken) are per patch. So on the Snow you can have 4 different sounds, each with a different set of effects of them.
