I'm not able to get the distortions to sound too great.....
any suggestions??


thanks

Ive been getting great results, they are similer to guitar distortions and act as them. just try tweeking them and adding verying amounts:D

Dude you have to tweak!

play around with the different parameters until you get the sound you like.

IT might take a long time you may think that you know exactly what sound your going to get but if you are creating a sound on a synth like the virus its just a matter of putting the time in and tweaking!

The effect the distotion produces is going to based a lot on the osc and filter settings which are in turn affected by amp env and filter env settings etc etc.

I found most of the new distortions to be quite 'fuzzy' eg like a fuzz distortion and I'm liking the result I get by using them in combination with the new speaker simulation. just play around with them and you will sooner or later arrive at a point you like. Dont forget that you can add a further 'drive' to distorted effects on the virus with the filter saturation section!

cool....i'll try tweaking more....
thanks....
:D
