FM Sounds Built on the Virus Two-Operator Mode

The presets use the frequency modulation components of the Virus to create bright, punchy FM tones. Resonance Sound says some patches draw on the Yamaha DX7 era, while others push further into raspy FM basses, crystalline keys, tinkling mono leads and sharp plucks.

Many presets add irregular but controlled atonal, aliased or droning character. These qualities are tied to how the Virus handles its FM mode, so the pack is most useful if you want FM sounds that the Virus produces in its own way.

Synthmorph Sequences and Preset Categories

The pack contains 29 bass, 18 key, 7 lead, 12 pad, 16 pluck and 12 FM psy frog effect presets, all in MIDI format. The 20 Synthmorph sequences are provided in MIDI and mp3. According to Resonance Sound, each sequence uses 5 to 25 parameter automations to turn its MIDI riff into an evolving texture.

You can play the sequences as they are, edit them, or apply them to other presets. A detailed PDF manual with installation and usage tips is included.
