VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P Fig. 1.2: Display section of the VIRTUALIZER PRO 1 Both the LED CHAINS display the intensity of the input signal in dB in relation to the nominal level, which is selected on the rear panel with the OPERATING LEVEL switch. 2 After you switch on the VIRTUALIZER PRO, you can read the name of the last used effect on the LED DISPLAY. When editing, the LED DISPLAY shows the parameter’s name along with a 4-digit alpha-numeric display that shows the absolute parameter’s value. 3

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 6 With the 1st EDIT CONTROL (non-intermittent rotary control) you change the values of the first (EDIT A) and fifth (EDIT E) effect parameters. You can also select MIDI functions (MIDI) with the 1st EDIT CONTROL. Press the EDIT key to switch from EDIT A to EDIT E and vice versa. You reach the MIDI function by pressing the SETUP key . 7 The 2nd EDIT CONTROL allows you to modify the values of effect parameters EDIT B and EDIT F. When you select the INPUT parameter with th

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 17 To change a parameter’s value, rotate the JOG WHEEL. To increase the value, turn the wheel clock- wise. To decrease the value, turn the wheel counterclockwise. If none of the edit functions is selected, you can select a program directly with the JOG WHEEL. When you do so, a spot lights up in the LED DISPLAY. As long as the spot is illuminated, a program can be selected without making the corresponding settings immediately audible. This brief signal suppression means t

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 2.1 Reverb algorithms REVERB: As the term suggests, a “reverb” is a reverberation effect. The reverb can be considered as the most important effect in a mix-down or a live event. The DSP2024P offers 12 different reverberation programs so that you have a suitable reverb for every situation. Cathedral simulates the dense, long reverberation of a large cathedral, which is appropriate for solo instruments or vocals in slow pieces. Gold Plate simulates the sound of plate reve

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P PING PONG: A delay effect with changing stereo positioning, where the time intervals between the repetitions can be changed. Tab. 2.2: Functioning of the delay effects’ parameters 2.3 Modulation and Pitch Shifter effects FLANGER: The word “flange” means “tape spool”, and this explains the characteristics of the effect. Originally the flanger effect was generated with two tape recorders which ran synchronously. The same audio signal was recorded on both machines. If you p

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P AUTO PANNING: This sound effect, which was very popular in the beginnings of stereo technique, is achieved by allowing a sound source (often the lead guitar or a synthesizer) to wander from one end of the stereo image to another or by just letting it wander repeatedly. Tab. 2.3: Functioning of the modulation and pitch shifter effects’ parameters 2.4 Dynamic effects COMPRESSOR/LIMITER: When the signal level exceeds the level control limit of the signal-processing unit, it

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P ULTRAMIZER: The ultramizer function divides the sound spectrum into two frequency bands and, as a result, allows inaudible but extremely effective compression. This is especially helpful during mix-down. The DSP2024P analyses the received audio material and automatically adjusts input gain and compression parameters. DENOISER: The DENOISER is used to eliminate or reduce noise and other interference. DE-ESSER: A problem often encountered in recording situations, is the si

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P ULTRA BASS: This awesome combination of sub-harmonic processor, bass exciter, and limiter adds a final touch to your music production. STEREO IMAGER: This effect is used to process stereo main signals. The signal is first subdivided into middle and side signal (MS Matrix). Both parts can then be amplified when desired and placed on the stereo image. ULTRA WIDE: This effect is suitable to pep up speaker systems with an especially broad stereo image. BINAURALIZER: The bina

TUBE DISTORTION: This effect simulates the sound of different tube types. When an analog tube, as found in a guitar amplifier, is overamplified by raising the input signal (e.g. of a guitar), the original signal is mixed with the harmonic overtones. Wit

SAMPLER: This sampler allows you to record up to five seconds of program material. Use Edit A for recording and Edit B for playback of the sampled material. To clear the contents of the sampler, select a different effect. VOCODER: The vocode

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P VOICE CANCELER: The voice canceler is a very effective Karaoke effect. It allows removal of mono vocal parts in stereo recordings. The bass part, however, remains untouched. RESONATOR: A resonator simulates an oscillating system that amplifies a specific frequency. The resonator implemented here has a resonance frequency that can be modulated with positive and negative feedbacks of up to 100%.

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P CHORUS & DELAY: While the chorus can contribute to a wideness of the signal, interesting repetition effects can be adjusted with the delay. Vocals can be given a distinctive effect without making the voice sounding blurred. FLANGER & DELAY: This effect is just right for creating a modern, slightly “spacey” vocal sound. PITCH & DELAY: A repetition of the audio signal, with an oscillatory effect added by the pitch shifter. TREMOLO & DELAY: A fast or slow, intensive variati
