5 E FOREWORD Dear Customer, Welcome to the team of VIRTUALIZERPRO users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing this unit.

7 E 1 . INTRODUCTION The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZERPRO is a member of the latest generation of multi-effects processors. To generate reverberation that is very natural in character, we at BEHRINGER deve.
8 system. 1.2 Before you begin Your BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZERPRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packag- ing and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred in transit.
9 E Fig. 1.2: Display section of the DSP1000P 1 The two LED chains display the input signal level indB, referenced to the internal digital maximum. + Please note that the nominal level of the VIRTUALIZERPRO can be selected with the +4dBu/-10dBV switch located on the back panel.
10 6 The VARIATION key allows you to select an alternative variation of each effect algorithm activating a different setup of the numerous internal effect parameters. With this feature you can extensively manipu- late the effect sound within a very wide range.
11 E any other key to quit MIDI mode. Fig. 1.4.: Back panel connectors and control elements 16 Use the OPERATING LEVEL switch to adapt the VIRTUALIZERPRO to different operating levels. You can select a -10 dBV semi-pro level used for home recording and a +4 dBu level used in professional studios.
12 from the right channel. In those cases EDITB ENGINEL or EDITB ENGINER means that you select EDITB and the left or right engine. If we only state EDITB for instance then the selection of the left or right engines does not play a role.
13 E Gated Reverb : Phil Collins song In the air tonight made this effect famous: a reverb is cut off abruptly after a certain time. VARIATION determines the cutoff time, EDITA controls the reverb intensity and EDITB the threshold above which reverb comes in (a kind of noise-gate before the reverb signal input).
14 Tremolo & Delay : Since trip hop has become trendy, this effect originally found in guitar amps is used to produce a more or less fast and intensive variation of volume (with an additional panorama effect included in the DSP1000P).
15 E Delay/Reverb : normal delay left, delay time can be set from 0 to 630 ms with ENG.L-EDITA i n 10ms steps and feedback by ENG.L-EDITB . Right channel = reverb, with reverb time controlled by ENG.R-EDITA and brilliance with ENG.
16 2 . OPERATION 2.1 Effects structure Fig. 2.1: Effects structure 2.2 Selecting presets The VIRTUALIZERPRO stores 100 user-definable presets. After power-up, the unit automatically recalls the preset last used. To select another preset, use the jog wheel to enter the preset number of your choice.
17 E when using a high-power P.A. system. Thus, the VIRTUALIZERPRO makes sure that no "un- wanted" programs are loaded unintentionally. Additionally, you can rotate the jog wheel at high speed and still have the time to specifically select the preset of your choice, instead of any of its "neighbours".

19 E s MIDI THRU The MIDI THRU jack is used to loop through incoming MIDI data, i.e. any control data received at the MIDI IN of the VIRTUALIZERPRO can be transmitted via the MIDI THRU jack to other MIDI devices/instruments. s MIDI OUT The MIDI OUT jack allows for transmitting MIDI data that originate from the VIRTUALIZERPRO.
20 Connect the two Input phone jacks with the Aux Send outputs of the mixing console, and the Output jacks of the VIRTUALIZERPRO with the Aux Return inputs of the console. If you want to use the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZERPRO in mono or dual mode, connect one audio channel (left or right) to one aux bus.
21 E 3.4 Using the VIRTUALIZERPRO as an effects device for instruments With its extensive MIDI implementation the VIRTUALIZERPRO can also be used, for instance, as a multi- effects device in a guitar rack. Of course, you can connect it up in both stereo and mono.
22 3.5 Using the VIRTUALIZERPRO in a MIDI system With its built-in MIDI interface the VIRTUALIZERPRO can be integrated into any MIDI system. It transmits and receives both program change and controller change information to perform program changes via MIDI from a sequencer or any other MIDI device.
23 E amplitude into a numerical value, quantizing. The two actions together are referred to as digitizing. In order to carry out the opposite the conversion of a digitized signal into its original analog form a Digital to Analog Converter or DAC is used.
24 distortion as a percentage of the total signal rising with the increase of the input signal level. Digital distortion is quite different, as illustrated by the following example.
25 E acoustics of a room that is much smaller in size. In addition to the capability of human hearing to determine the direction from where a sound phenomenon arrives, we can also hear modulations of acoustic events. Of importance in this context is the frequency of the modulated signals.
26 in a (reverberation) room, i.e. they are spread in all directions, are reflected when they reach the plate edges, and you can basically distinguish between early and later reflections. The result is an almost natural reverb ambience, however, whose decay time cannot be modified.

29 E 5.4 MIDI connections The MIDI standard was developed in the early 1980s to allow electronic musical instruments from different manufacturers to communicate with each other. The use of MIDI has developed over the intervening years to the stage where it is now common to find complete recording studios operating entirely on a MIDI basis.
