keyfollower? assignable to EG freq?

[dr. orange]

Hello alltogether,
I don't own a Virus TI yet, so I'd like to ask you a question:

-Are there keyfollowers awailable as modulators? can you assign them to the EQ frequencies?

Yes to both answers, although only the Mid EQ Frequency is available as a mod destination.

thanks ben for the quick reply!

there's another question: Can you turn off the audio processing / synthesis of the Virus TI Keyboard so that it serves as a Master Keyboard only?

Sure - if you set Midi>Local = Off, then the keyboard will only send note on/off info to the midi outs.

and what about the note info, aftertouch, modwheel etc. etc.???

does the Virus TI in this mode totally deactivate the sound processing (so that you could measure a much lower power consumption) or only avoid the MIDI Data triggering it?

Of course.

The midi data is routed only to the external ports, and not to the synth engine . That is the only difference.

another question that ain't worth a net thread:

is there kinda "Random LFO" and a Sample/Hold "module"?

Yep. There is also a Sample and Glide mode, which smoothly interpolates between random values, in contrast to the sharp jumps you get with S&H.

why is mid the only frequency that is a mod destination?

... just curious...

because it is the only eq band which makes sense to modulate in realtime, as it's effect is far more filter-like than the other two.
