5 VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual

1. Introduction

In order to generate an extremely natural reverberation, we at BEHRINGER have developed new kinds of algorithms for virtual acoustics. These algorithms will help you calculate all room and reverberation parameters with absolutely professional quality and naturalness.

In spite of this extensive and calculation-intensive work performed by the 24-bit processor in the FX2000, the VIRTUALIZER 3D is very easy to handle. Changingparameters to achieve a specic sound is simple. There are 100 presets available to store your own programs.

The FX2000 includes excellent reverb and delay programs, but that’s not all. Besides the classic plate reverb simulations, the VIRTUALIZER 3D will impress you with its excellent modulation eects (like chorus, anger and phaser), whichwere extended to include special variations like a musical pitch shifter, atremolo, and a rotary speaker simulation. The FX2000’s dynamic and psycho- acoustic eects allow you to do without a number of additional pieces of equipment. TheFX2000 also oers you a series of distortion and amplication sounds that are combined with a speaker simulation. Thus, as a guitarist in recording situations, you can achieve an excellent sound on tape or hard disk, even without a speaker cabinet. Besides its logical and simple operation, theVIRTUALIZER 3D’s technical equipment is also impressive. The following points ensure signal processing at a professional level:

• Extremely low-noise and exact 24-bit A/D and D/A converters.

• A professional sample rate of 46 kHz guarantees a high signal resolution for

a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

• The 24-bit processor features dual engine software; these two sections

process audio input independently.

◊ Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to

storage or shipping.

◊ Never let unsupervised children play with the FX2000 or with

its packaging.

◊ Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally-

friendly fashion.

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D requires one standard 19" rack unit of space (1¾"). Please leave an additional 4" installation depth to allow connections at the rear side.

Make sure that there is adequate ventilation and do not place the VIRTUALIZER 3D on top of an amplier, which could cause overheating.

◊ Before connecting the VIRTUALIZER 3D to the mains, carefully check

that your equipment is set to the correct voltage:

The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markings, withtwo of these triangles opposing each other. The VIRTUALIZER 3D is set to the operating voltage printed next to these markers and can be set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder by 180°. CAUTION: This instruction

does not apply to export models exclusively designed, e.g. for 120-Voperation!

Connection to the mains is made by a mains cable with an IEC receptacle that complies with the required safety regulations.

◊ Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own

protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself. The unit shall always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

• As for all BEHRINGER products, the highest quality components and controls

are used.

◊ The following instructions will give you a brief run-down on the

terminology and functions of the VIRTUALIZER 3D. After reading, please store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

1.1 The concept

BEHRINGER uses an uncompromising selection of components. The heart of the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D is a 24-bit DSP, which, due to its exceptional technical specications, is regarded as one of the nest building blocks. With it come the rst class 24-bit A/D-D/A converters, guaranteeing a precise conversion of audio signals. Narrow-range tolerance resistances and capacitors, high-grade switches, and other selected components are all very high in quality.

The VIRTUALIZER 3D was manufactured on the basis of SMD technology (SurfaceMounted Device). The use of sub-miniature building blocks known from space ights allows not only an ex treme packing density but also ensures an increased dependability. The FX2000 was manufactured under ISO9000 certied management system.

1.2 Before you get started

The VIRTUALIZER 3D was carefully packed in the factory to ensure safe transport. Nevertheless, if the box shows signs of damage, please check the equipment immediately for any signs of external damage.

◊ Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the

dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

◊ To assure optimal protection of your FX2000 during use or transport,

we recommend utilizing a carrying case.

◊ Installation and operation of this equipment must be carried out by

competent staf f only. Both before and after installation, the staff using the equipment should make sure that it is properly grounded since otherwise electrostatic discharge etc. can lead to an impairment of its operation. For more information, see chapter 6 “Installation”.

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D is equipped with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The circuit design features automatic hum suppression for balanced signals and thus ensures trouble-free operation, even at the highest operating levels. Externally induced mains hum, etc. can therefore be eectively suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level dierences between the input and output signals (6-dB correction).

The MIDI connectors (IN/OUT/THRU) are standard DIN plug connections. The data communication is isolated from ground by opto-couplers.

1.3 Online registration

Please register your new BEHRINGER equipment right after your purchase by visiting http://behringer.com and read the terms and conditions of our warrantycarefully.

Should your BEHRINGER product malfunction, it is our intention to have it repaired as quickly as possible.

1.4 Control elements

Fig. 1.1: VIRTUALIZER 3D front pan el

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D’s front panel includes ve edit controls (non-intermittent rotary controls), a jog wheel (big rotary control), six parameter keys, an LED display and a mains switch. Each of the two fully independent channels can be monitored with an 8-digit LED meter.

(3)

(1) (2)

Fig. 1.2: Displa y section of the VI RTUALIZER 3D

(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 3D, you can read the name of the last

used eect 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) To the right of the LED display are four STATUS LEDs which indicate the type

of value you are working with. You may do any of the following:

• set the absolute value of an eect parameter (“%”),

• increase or decrease the amplitude or determine the threshold point of the

compressor (“dB”),

• modify a frequency (“Hz”) or

• modify a time parameter (“sec”).

(4) The ALGORITHM GROUPS LED CHAIN indicates which category the

selected eect belongs to. Altogether the FX2000 oers eight dierent algorithmgroups.

(4)

(6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (14)(12) (15)

(5) Every preset in the FX2000 allows you to edit at least four eect parameters.

The EDIT-LED-CHAIN indicates which parameters are adjusted by the four EDIT CONTROLs. If the top LED lights up, (6) controls the parameter EDIT A,

(7) controls EDIT B, (8) helps in changes of parameter EDIT C and with (9)

you change the setting of parameter EDIT D. If the middle LED of the EDIT- LED-CHAIN lights up, the four EDIT CONTROLs modify the parameters that are arranged to its left and right. The lower LED functions correspondingly.

◊ For the exact meaning of the individual effect parameters,

see chapter 7.1.

(6) With the 1st EDIT CONTROL (non-intermittent rotary control) you change

the values of the rst (EDIT A) and fth (EDIT E) eect parameters. You can also select MIDI functions (MIDI) with the 1st EDIT CONTROL. Press the EDIT key (13) to switch from EDIT A to EDIT E and vice versa. You reach the MIDI function by pressing the SETUP key (16).

(7) The 2nd EDIT CONTROL allows you to modify the values of eect

parameters EDIT B and EDIT F. When you select the INPUT parameter with the help of the SETUP key, you can specify whether the FX2000 functions mono or stereo mode (see chapter 3.6.2 for more information).

(8) The 3rd EDIT CONTROL modies the values of eect parameters EDIT C,

EQLO, and the global OUTPUT parameter (see chapter 3.6.3). Here, as well,

you select among them using the EDIT and SETUP keys.

(9) With the 4th EDIT CONTROL, you modify the values of eect parameters

EDIT D, EQ HI, and the global parameter CONFIG (see chapter 3.6.4). Use the

EDIT and SETUP keys to choose between the parameters.

◊ During editing, you can rotate one of the four EDIT CONTROLs minimally

to display a brief description of the current parameter active. This can help you know that, for example, EDIT A controls the pre delay for all reverb effects of the VIRTUALIZER 3D. After approximately one second the name is erased and the parameter’s current value is displayed. This function can be used only by operating one of the controls that has not yet been selected.

(10) By turning the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL the eect levels of most eect

algorithms are set in the range from 0 to 100%. If you select 0%, the signal at the inputs of FX2000 is transferred directly to the outputs without adding any eects (the signal is completely dry). If you select 100%, only the eected signal is sent to the outputs (the signal is completely wet).

◊ If you use the FX2000 in the aux bus with your mixing console,

you should always set this value at 100%. if you’re using the FX2000 with a guitar amplifier (in a serial effects loop), we suggest settings between 20 and 50% (depending on the amplifier type).

(5)

(13) (16) (18)(17)

◊ Please note that, for the effects “parametric” and “graphic EQ”,

the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL allows a gain correction by rotation.

To bypass the FX2000’s eects, press the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL. Thisallows you to compare between the original and the eected signals. Pressthe MIX/BYPASS CONTROL again to deactivate the bypass and return to your chosen eect. When the MIDI IN LED below the control ickers, itindicates that MIDI data is arriving at the MIDI IN port.

◊ Both the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL and the four EDIT CONTROLs react

dynamically. This means that, depending how fast you rotate the wheels, the present parameter is changed in steps of 1, 2, 5 or 10. The faster the rotation, the greater the change in the parameter value.

(11) To select one of the 200 presets, press the PRESET key once, then rotate the

JOG WHEEL (17).

(12) To select one of the 71 basic eect algorithms, press the EFFECT key once,

then rotate the JOG WHEEL. For information on the parameter values that are set for the basic eect algorithms, see chapter 7.4.

(13) To select the EDIT CONTROL function (see (6) - (9) ), press the EDIT key.

(14) When you make changes to a user preset, the STORE key’s LED begins to

blink. The FX2000 comprises 100 user presets for your own settings and 100factory presets (see separate preset sheet). To save your changes, pressthe STORE key. Select a storage space (number) with the Jog Wheel and conrm it by pressing the STORE key again.

(15) If you have made changes to a preset and the LED of the STORE key is

blinking, you can press the COMPARE key to temporarily restore the preset’s original settings. While these settings are loaded, the COMPARE key’s LED blinks and “COMP” appears in the LED display. Press the COMPARE key again to return to edit mode and store your changes.

(16) To enter SETUP mode, press the SETUP key. In setup mode, you can access

the parameters shown below the four EDIT CONTROLs. For more information about SETUP mode, see chapter 3.6.

(17) To change a parameter’s value, rotate the JOG WHEEL. To increase the

value, turn the wheel clockwise. 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 that during quick selection of presets with the Jog Wheel, not every preset is activated directly. If the Jog Wheel is not turned for a second, the spot in the LED display disappears and the program isloaded.

(18) Use the POWER switch to power up your FX2000. The POWER switch should

always be in the “O” position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

◊ To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.

When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

(19) FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTION. Before connecting the FX2000,

conrmthat the voltage display matches your local mains voltage. Whenreplacing the fuse, you must always use the same type. In many units the fuse holder can be installed in one of two positions, allowing you to switch between 230 V and 120 V. If you wish to operate a unit outside Europe at 120V, then a stronger fuse must be used. (For more information, see chapter 8 “SPECIFICATIONS”). The mains connection is made via the IEC receptacle. Anappropriate mains cable is included.

(20) The FX2000 has wide-ranging MIDI implementation. MIDI IN, MIDI OUT,

and MIDI THRU connectors are available for transmitting MIDI commands.

(21) SERIAL NUMBER. Please complete and return the warranty card within

14 days of the date of purchase. Otherwise, you will lose your right to the extended warranty. Alternatively, you can register online at our website under behringer.com.

(22) The FX2000’s balanced OUTPUTs are designed as ¼" TRS and XLR sockets.

(23) To switch between -10 dBV (home recording level) and +4 dBu

(professionalstudio level), use the OPERATING LEVEL SWITCH. Whenyou switch between the two, the level displays are automatically changed to the nominal level and the VIRTUALIZER 3D operates in its optimal workingrange.

(24) Both of the VIRTUALIZER 3D’s INPUTs are also available as balanced ¼" TRS

and XLR sockets.

2. Eects Algorithms

All eects of digital eects equipment are based on various algorithms. Analgorithm for a reverb eect, for example, is programmed dierently than a chorus algorithm. Each eect has a cer tain algorithm with which the digital input signal is processed. The processing takes place within the digital signal processor (DSP). After the eect is generated and the input signal is mixed, the digital signal is converted back into an analog signal with a D/A converter.

You can edit up to seven parameters for each preset in the VIRTUALIZER 3D. Thechanges you make will inuence the sound in dierent ways. An overview of the FX2000’s various eects algorithms follows.

REVERB

2.1

Reverb algorithms

REVERB: As the term suggests, a “reverb” is a reverberation eect. Thereverb can be considered as the most important eect in a mix-down or a live event. TheFX2000 oers 12 dierent 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 reverberators and hence is a classic for drums (snare) and vocals. Small Hall simulates a small, lively(stronglyreec ting) hall. With Room, you can clearly hear the walls of the room. Studio represents a small- to middle-sized room. WithConcert, you can select between a small theater and a large hall. Stageis well suited to dissipating the sound of a keyboard or an acoustic guitar. SpringReverb simulates a classic spring reverberation. Ambience reproduces a room impression without late reections. With Early Reections, the initial reections of a room are clearlyaudible.

GATED REVERB: This eect synthetically cuts o reverberation after a period of time. It is famous in the song “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.

REVERSE REVERB: This is a reverberation in which the envelope is reversed—itslowly gets louder.

Modulation and pitch shifter eects

FLANGER: The word “ange” means “tape spool”, and this explains the characteristics of the eect. Originally the anger eect was generated with two tape recorders which ran synchronously. The same audio signal was recorded on both machines. If you put a nger on the left spool of one of the machines, thespool and the playback speed are slowed down. The generated delay results in phase shifting of the signals. Vintage Flanger simulates a guitar anger eect pedal and Jet Stream Flanger sounds like a classic analog anger.

CHORUS: This eect slightly detunes the original signal. A very pleasant detune eect is created in connection with the pitch variation. The chorus eect is quite often and extensively used for dispersing signals. Analog Chorus simulates a guitar chorus eect pedal, while Vintage Chorus imitates a classic analog studio chorus. Ultra Chorus creates the sound of an eight-person vocal chorus.

PHASER: With the phaser, a second, phase shifted signal is added to the original audio signal. The resulting sound is thicker and above all livelier. This eect is often used for guitar sounds and keyboards. In the 70s, it was also extensively used for other instruments like electric pianos. Here, Vintage Phaser represents a guitar phaser eect pedal. Dual Phaser processes the left and the right channels separately.

LESLIE: The simulation of a classic eect that is normally generated with a very heavy enclosure with a (slow or fast) rotating speaker: The bass speaker (drum) is covered by a partly opened rotating cap, while both of the high pitch horns (horn), displaced by 180°, revolve around the same perpendicular axis. Here,thephysical principle of the Doppler eect for modulation of signals is used.

STEREO DELAY: A delay of the input signal. Dierent tempo settings allow interesting delay eects.

TAPE ECHO: Similar to the stereo delay, with the dierence being that the repetitions have less presence. This simulates the character of the original tape echo that was used before the digital era and can be thought of as a “VintageSound”. The tape echo’s reections include high and low pass lters.

PING PONG: A delay eect with changing stereo positioning, where the time intervals between the repetitions can be changed.

PITCH SHIFTER: This eect changes the pitch of the input signal. Youcan generate musical intervals and harmonies or simply a single voice. Detuningby several semitones upward alienates voices (and is used often in cartoons). Here,you can choose among a stereo, two, and three vocal pitch shifter. At the left stop of Edit C the pitch shifters 1 and 2 are synchronized to a stereo pitch shifter. Pitch shifter 3 can be switched o by turning Edit E fullycounterclockwise.

VIBRATO: For this eect, the peak frequency of a tone is periodically and uniformly changed (quickly or slowly). It is often used for guitar playing.

TREMOLO: This eect was originally found on guitar ampliers, and is once again trendy. It is a fast or slow periodic variation of the volume.

AUTO PANNING: This sound eect, 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.

DYNAMICS

2.4

Dynamic eects

COMPRESSOR/LIMITER: When the signal level exceeds the level control limit of the signal-processing unit, it must be limited dynamically to avoid distortions. This is achieved by installing a compressor or a limiter. The limiter abruptly limits the signal above a specied threshold, while a compressor ac ts “softly” over a large range. The Analog Compr/Limiter is modeled after a famous analog compressor unit.

EXPANDER: Background noises of all types (noise, humming etc) limitthe dynamic range of the actual signal. As long as the level of the actual signal lies signicantly above the background noise, the noise is inaudible. Theinterference signal in this case is masked by the actual signal. The expander is used to eectively expand the dynamic range of signals. Signals with small amplitudes (such as background noise) can be weakened, thereby reducing the backgroundnoise.

GATE: On stage and in studios, there are diverse applications where a noise gate is needed. For example, microphones that tend to cause feedback can be “defused”. In addition, you can use a gate to eliminate unwanted noise. When used on vocals, for example, the signal is simply masked during pauses, thuseliminating all noise. Needless to say, a gate used on vocals has to open very quickly—other wise, the rst syllables of soft or whispered passages would not be audible.

ULTRAMIZER: The ultramizer function divides the sound spectrum into two frequency bands and, as a result, allows inaudible but extremely eective compression. This is especially helpful during mix-down. The FX2000 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 sibilant (Ssss) sound of the human voice. The de-esser is used to remove strong hissing sounds from the audio signal.

WAVE DESIGNER: Using this eect, you can inuence the envelope of a signal by specifying its volume. A (= Attack) indicates the time a tone needs to reach its full volume. R (= Release) determines how long it takes before a tone dies away.

PSYCHO ACOUSTICS

Psycho-acoustic eects

EXCITER: An exciter works with psycho-acoustic principles to add articially generated overtones to the original signal, thereby increasing its presence and loudness (the subjective volume impression) without any signicant increase of the signal level.

ENHANCER: The enhancer works like a dynamic pitch equalizer. Its eectiveness depends on the associated high frequencies and the intensity of the input signal.

ULTRA BASS: This awesome combination of sub-harmonic processor, bassexciter, and limiter adds a nal touch to your music production.

STEREO IMAGER: This eect is used to process stereo main signals. The signal is rst subdivided into middle and side signal (MS Matrix). Both parts can then be amplied when desired and placed on the stereo image.

ULTRA WIDE: This eect is suitable to pep up speaker systems with an especially broad stereo image.

BINAURALIZER: The binauralizer also extends the stereo image. Additionally, itcompensates for inter-channel cross talk of both speakers (left loudspeaker on right ear and vice versa).

DISTORTION/AMP

2.7

Distortion eects and amp simulations

VOCAL DISTORTION: This eect is very hip when used on vocals and drum loops, and is combined with a delay and anger.

TUBE DISTORTION: This eec t simulates the sound of dierent tube types. Whenan analog tube, as found in a guitar amplier, is overamplied by raising the input signal (e.g. of a guitar), the original signal is mixed with the harmonic overtones. With rising overmodulation (also known as saturation of tubes), theoriginal signal is distor ted and the sound is fresh and full. This is a classic sound in rock music.

GUITAR AMP: This eect simulates the sound characteristics of a complete guitar amplier. You can connect a guitar or bass (after appropriate pre-amplication) directly to the VIRTUALIZER 3D, and from there to a mixing console or recordingdevice.

TRI FUZZ: This is a special guitar distortion type. Jimi Hendrix was one of the rst guitarists to recognize the appeal of this broadband transistor overmodulation. Thehumming distortion of the FUZZ BOX has again become popular with alternative rock and grunge. The VIRTUALIZER 3D’s fuzz works in three dierent frequency bands.

SPEAKER SIMULATION: The VIRTUALIZER 3D is able to simulate various types of speakers. Typical guitar amplif ying speakers as well as multimedia speakers are available. You can also use a parametric equalizer to further rene the sound.

RING MODULATOR: This eect allows a radical alienation of audio signals. Similar to the principle of FM radio, the signal is multiplied by a carrier frequency, so that frequency modulation (FM) takes place. This eect is very well suited for vocal alienation (robot voice).

LO-FI: For years, digital technique has been striving for high quality, lownoise, andbrilliant sounds. In the recent past there have been increasing calls for a return “tothe roots” to achieve the warmth of the old analog sounds. Thetechno/ dance group swears by vinyl and some music lovers miss the charm of good old vinyl discs and tape machines. This trend is known as Lo-Fi (instead of Hi-Fi). We have taken this tendency into account and included the relevant eect in the FX2000. Your recordings sound like 8-bit audio, complete with noise and humming like the old days! A true drum loop in TR808/TR909 style really gets going when it sounds thick and dusty.

VOCODER: The vocoder, an old acquaintance, has become popular again due to the disco renaissance (hear it in “Around the World” by Daft Punk or “California” by 2Pac). A control signal (usually a voice) is used in the right channel to modulate another signal which lies on the left channel (usually a synthesizer sound). Itsounds as if the synthesizer is talking (robot voice).

VOICE CANCELER: The voice canceler is a very eective Karaoke eect. It allows removal of mono vocal parts in stereo recordings. The bass part, however, remains untouched.

(multi-eects programs)

Eects 61 to 71 are multi-eects algorithms, which allow dierent eects to be used simultaneously. Eect 61, for example, can make a solo guitar “wider” with chorus and simultaneously add a room reverb. Please note that you can modify the structure of a multi-eect (see chapters 3.1 and 3.6.4).

CHORUS & REVERB: This algorithm combines the popular chorus with a gold plate eect (as in algorithm 2).

FLANGER & REVERB: The combination of anger and reverb eects.

LESLIE & REVERB: The input signal, modulated to a degree that you specify,

is then processed with a reverb eect. This eect works especially well with keyboards and guitars.

PITCH & REVERB: The pitch shifter can be detuned in semitone or cent steps. The reverb, on the other hand, can be controlled in time and mixing ratio.

DELAY & REVERB: Delay and reverb are the most common combinations for vocals, solo guitars, etc. The reverb used here is a gold plate, a room that features a distinctive brilliance and can be used in many ways.

TREMOLO & REVERB: The intensive variation in volume of the tremolo gains more depth and wideness with the reverb.

PHASER & REVERB: The combination of a classic stereo phaser and a reverbeect.

CHORUS & DELAY: While the chorus can contribute to a wideness of the signal, interesting repetition eects can be adjusted with the delay. Vocals can be given a distinctive eect without making the voice sounding blurred.

FLANGER & DELAY: This eect is just right for creating a modern, slightly “spacey” vocal sound.

PITCH & DELAY: A repetition of the audio signal, with an oscillatory eect added by the pitch shifter.

3.2 Calling up presets

The VIRTUALIZER 3D has 100 internal presets and 100 user presets that can be overwritten. The two memory banks are located one after another. The internal presets (I.000 - I.100) come rst and the user presets (U.000 - U.100)follow.

After switching on the unit, the last used preset is automatically restored. Tochoose a dierent preset, press the PRESET key, then rotate the Jog Wheel. Tosee the presets in ascending order, rotate the wheel clockwise. To see the presets in descending order, rotate it counterclockwise.

◊ Please note that it takes the VIRTUALIZER 3D about one second to

activate each newly selected preset. The activation process is indicated by a blinking light on the display. After the new effect’s data is loaded, the VIRTUALIZER 3D activates the preset and the light fades. This brief signal suppression means that during quick selection of presets with the Jog Wheel, not every preset is activated directly. Otherwise, there could be partial “shreds” of various presets at the audio outputs of the FX2000. The VIRTUALIZER 3D gives you the security that unwanted programs are not loaded. In addition, you can quickly turn the Jog Wheel and still have enough time to specifically select a preset without activating “neighboring programs”.

◊ Please note that various ef fects algorithms may have dif ferent volume

levels. Reduce the volume of your monitors while selecting new presets to prevent sudden changes in volume.

3.3 Editing programs (Edit Mode)

◊ If you make changes in a preset and press the STORE key twice, all of

the preset’s original settings are overwritten and your new parameters are stored. If you want to retain the old preset, you must select another preset (using the Jog Wheel) before pressing the STORE key for the second time.

3.5 Comparing an edited preset with the corresponding factory preset (comparefunction)

When you have made changes in a preset but have not yet stored your changes, the COMPARE Function allows you to load the original factory preset and compare it with your changes. To do so, press the COMPARE key while in edit mode. As long as the COMPARE key’s LED blinks, further editing is (temporarily) not possible. Press the COMPARE key again to return to your edited preset. Here, you have the choice to either store your changes (see chapter 3.4), or continue editing (seechapter 3.3).

3.6 SETUP mode

In SETUP mode, you can make global adjustments to the VIRTUALIZER 3D as described in the sub-sections below. Among these are MIDI, Input mode, Outputmode and dual engine conguration (CONFIG). To enter SETUP mode, pressthe SETUP key. The red LED below the EDIT CONTROLs lights up. The four EDIT CONTROLs can now be used to adjust the SETUP parameters. To exit this mode, press the SETUP key again.

Programs can be edited easily and quickly with the FX2000. The list on the right side of the LED DISPLAY gives you an overview of the eects algorithms that the VIRTUALIZER 3D can generate. To select these basic algorithms, press the EFFECT key and rotate the Jog Wheel.

By turning the EDIT CONTROLs and the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL, you can extensively modify the sound of an eects program. You select the EDIT CONTROL function using the EDIT key. By repeatedly pressing the EDIT key, you can (for example) specify whether parameter EDIT A or EDIT E will be changed with the 1st EDIT CONTROL.The currently illuminated LED indicates which parameters will be edited. By modif ying the EQ LO and EQ HI parameters, you can put the nal touch on an eect. As soon as you start editing, the LED of the PRESET or EFFECT key (depending on whether you have already loaded one of the 200 presets or have selected one of the basic algorithms) dies out. Simultaneously, the LED of the STORE key starts to blink, indicating that changes have been made.

3.4 Storing programs

To store changes to one of the 100 user presets, as described in chapter 3.3, youuse the STORE key. All changes to the FX2000’s parameters can be stored when the STORE key’s LED blinks. For your changes to be accepted, you must press the STORE key twice. An example:

• You call up a program and make changes to it using the four EDIT

CONTROLs and the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL. Each EDIT CONTROL controls two parameters that can be selected by pressing the EDIT key. During this process, theSTORE key blinks, indicating that the preset’s settings have been changed. However, your changes are not yet stored. If you want to overwrite the original preset, simply press the STORE key twice to store your changes. Ifyou wish to retain the original preset, press the STORE key once. Thedisplay shows the current preset number and star ts blinking. Use the Jog Wheel to select another preset, which you will overwrite. Press the STORE key again and your changes are stored in the selected preset.

◊ If there is no input for about five seconds after pressing the STORE key,

the unit goes back to edit mode.

3. 6.1 MIDI control

The FX2000’s MIDI editing options are shown on seven pages. Enter SETUP mode (see chapter 3.6). With the help of the 1st EDIT CONTROL, you can select seven dierent MIDI functions. Data input is always carried out with the JOG WHEEL. the following pages can be selected:

• CHAN: You can set the MIDI channel on the rst page. With the Jog Wheel,

the channel can be set from 01 to 16. If you select “OFF”, the MIDI function is switched o.

• OMNI: The second page gives access to omni mode. In this case, the unit

receives MIDI data on all 16 MIDI channels. “ON” appears in the display. Withthe Jog Wheel, select “OFF” to deactivate omni mode.

• CONT: On the third page, you can congure the controller commands.

Youcan choose between four controller modes:

Display Mod e

OFF No controlle r data are transmit ted / received.

RECV C ontroller data are r eceived but not tr ansmitted.

SEND Contr oller data are trans mitted but not re ceived.

Tab. 3.2: Program c hange settings

17 VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual

• STOR: On the fth page, you can select the Store Enable mode. In the “ON”

mode, the VIRTUALIZER 3D receives controller 112 as the direct storage command—the current settings are stored on the program location corresponding to the controller value without waiting for a conrmation. Inthe “OFF” mode, controller 112 is ignored.

◊ CAUTION: The Store Enable mode is aimed to transfer several

presets at once from an external PC to the VIRTUALIZER 3D (see also chapter 5.1). In this mode, you can very easily overwrite your program locations by unintentionally sending controller 112 values to the FX2000! Therefore, we strongly recommend to switch off this mode immediately after use. When the FX2000 is switched on, this mode is automatically set to off (“OFF”).

• DUMP: Select the System Exclusive mode (“SysEx”) using the sixth page.

In this mode, the FX2000 is ready to “dump” its complete storage content, including all settings, to a MIDI sequencer. Start your MIDI sequencer and turn the JOG WHEEL. The data transfer is indicated by “GO”.

• DR.EN: In this mode, the FX2000 can receive SysEx data from another MIDI

device. To load this data, turn the JOG WHEEL slightly so that the display blinks. Start your sequencer, and all of your settings, including preset parameter settings, are received by your VIRTUALIZER 3D. Data transfer is interrupted by turning the JOG WHEEL slightly so that “----” appears in thedisplay.

◊ During a SysEx data transfer, all audio functions of the VIRTUALIZER 3D

are inactive.

3.7 Restoring the factory presets

To restore the FX2000 to its preset factory state, press and hold the STORE and PRESET keys while switching on the unit. “INIT” appears in the DISPLAY and counting takes place from R 1 to R 100.

◊ This overwrites all changes you have made and restores the

factory presets!

4. Applications

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D is a exible unit that can be used in various applications. Prior to a presentation of the FX2000’s many uses, please note the following remarks on how to set signal levels correctly.

4.1 Level setting

Take care to set all levels properly on the FX2000! Low levels deteriorate the dynamics of the music signal, which results in a poor, weak and noisy sound. Onthe other hand, excess levels overdriving the converters in the VIRTUALIZER 3D should also be avoided. Digital distortion is (unlike its analog counterpart) extremely unpleasant, since it does not occur gradually butabruptly.

Please use the OPERATING LEVEL switch and the input level meter of the FX2000. Make sure that the Clip LEDs ickers only rarely. Ensure that they never light up all the time!

4.2 Using the VIRTUALIZER 3D in the aux bus

3.6.2 INPUT mode

With the help of the 2nd EDIT CONTROL, you can specify whether your FX2000 works as a mono (“MONO”) or a stereo unit (“STER”). In mono mode, input 1 is used exclusively. Since the VIRTUALIZER 3D is a real “True Stereo” device, the DSP processes the signal for many eects separately for both channels (seechapter7.1). For eects 13 - 15 and 38, right and left channel parameters can even be edited separately.

◊ For effects 42 - 44, 58, and 59, a signal must be present at both inputs

for optimal stereo results.

3.6.3 OUTPUT mode

Use the 3rd EDIT CONTROL to determine the FX2000’s OUTPUT mode. Theselection of settings depends on your FX2000’s application. If you’re using the VIRTUALIZER 3D in connection with a mixing console (aux bus), activatethe Mix External (“EXTN”) output mode. The FX2000’s output signal is then 100%wet.

If you’re using the FX2000 with a guitar amplier that has an eects loop, selectthe Mix Internal (“INTN”) output mode. Then, use the MIX/BYPASS control to adjust the eect volume. For further information, see chapters 4.2 and 4.4.

3.6.4 Dual engine conguration (CONFIG)

You can use the 4th EDIT CONTROL to decide how the FX2000’s eects combinations (presets 61 - 71) should be structured. Since the FX2000 is a true Dual Engine unit, you can choose between serial 1 (“SER1”), serial 2 (“SER2”) and parallel (“PARA”). See g. 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 to understand how these settings inuence the composition of the eects combinations.

Using the FX2000 in the aux bus lets you feed signals from one, several or all channels of your console into the VIRTUALIZER 3D. When miking a drum kit, forexample, you can use the aux controls to adjust the reverberation independently for each channel. Thus, you are able to assign a strong reverb to the snare rather than the toms. Cabling the VIRTUALIZER 3D in the aux bus should be carried out as follows:

In L In R

Fig. 4.1: Wiring aux busses

Out L Out R

AUX Send 1 (& 2)

AUX Return

In the example of preset 61 (chorus & reverb), you can decide, whether the chorus and reverb eects run separately from each other or whether the signal, treatedby the chorus, passes the reverb eect.

18 VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual

Connect both inputs of the VIRTUALIZER 3D to the aux send outputs of your mixer. The FX2000’s output socket is connected to the aux return inputs of your mixer. Ifyou want to operate the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D in mono, connect one of its channels (left or right) to an aux bus. As a matter of principle, eectsprocessors should always be connected to post fader aux busses.

◊ If your mixing console has aux busses that feature one jack for the aux

send, use audio channel 1 on the FX2000. In this case, you must choose the mono mode (see chapter 3.6.2).

◊ To avoid damage to your equipment, turn down the volume level on

your amplifier when making connections. Switch off the devices that you want to connect to one another until plug connections have been completed as described.

Let’s assume you want to operate the FX2000 in a live situation in connection with a mixing console, and use a chorus to enhance the guitar sound.

Connect the VIRTUALIZER 3D to the aux busses of your mixing console (g. 4.1). Make the mains connection and set the operating level if necessary. Switch on the unit. In SETUP mode (output), select “EXTN” to ensure that the Mix External mode is activated. Press the eect key and use the Jog Wheel to selec t the stereo chorus eect (no. 16). Turn up the aux busses slowly till you have mixed the desired eect with the guitar signal. After this, you can start ne tuning. Youwill probably want to specify the chorus’ modulation. Turn the 1st EDIT CONTROL to determine the speed of the modulation. To adjust the modulation depth, turnthe 2nd EDIT CONTROL. Proceed further following this principle. Ifyou want the 1stEDIT CONTROL to change EDIT E, you must rst press the EDIT key. After all the parameters have been changed as you wish, you can store the modications in the original (or a dierent) preset.

4.3 Using the VIRTUALIZER 3D in the insertpath

Generally, you can use the FX2000 on channel or subgroup inserts, using a standard insert cable. Connection to a channel insert makes sense when you want to process very specic signals (e.g. vocals) with the VIRTUALIZER3D, orwhen all other options for connecting the FX2000 are already used by other units. For compressors, expanders and gates, the channel insert is the bestchoice.

4.4 Using the VIRTUALIZER 3D as an eects device for instruments

Due to its MIDI implementation, the VIRTUALIZER 3D can also be used as multi-eec ts unit in a guitar rack. Naturally, the VIRTUALIZER 3D can be cabled both as mono and as stereo unit. The following examples show how to use the FX2000 with a guitar setup.

Send

Eﬀects Loop

Return

Fig. 4.3: Connecting the VIRTUALIZER 3D to a guitar amp (send/return mono)

Fundamentally, the following applies: The VIRTUALIZER 3D should be connected between preamp and output stage of your amplier. For this purpose, most of the guitar ampliers oer an eects loop, which allows the preamp signal of your amplier to pass on to the audio input stage of the FX2000. Then, in the VIRTUALIZER 3D, the preamp signal is processed and sent back to its amplier through the amplier’s return jack (Power Amp In). If you use a stereo rack system for amplication, you can also set up the VIRTUALIZER 3D in stereo mode. Connect the preamp to the audio inputs of the FX2000. Each of its audio outputs (left/right) is connected to a channel (lef t/right) of your amplier.

◊ Since most guitar amps only feature a serial effects loop, you should

make sure that the VIRTUALIZER 3D is set to Mix Internal mode. In Mix Internal mode, you can control the effects intensity that is applied to the guitar signal. If, however, your amp is equipped with a parallel effects loop, which allows for adding the effects signal portion (similar to an aux bus in a mixing console), then you should set the VIRTUALIZER 3D to Mix External mode. In this case, the effects intensity present at the outputs of the VIRTUALIZER 3D is 100%.

Channel Insert

Subgroup Insert

Instrumentalists can benet from a variety of advantages oered by the VIRTUALIZER 3D‘s MIDI implementation. With a MIDI foot controller, e.g. the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010, you can transfer program changes via MIDI. Connect the MIDI out port of your foot controller to the MIDI IN port of the VIRTUALIZER 3D. If the FX2000 does not respond to your foot controller’s program changes, check your MIDI channel settings. Determine which MIDI channel your foot controller uses to send program changes (in most of the cases: omni mode). Set the VIRTUALIZER 3D’s MIDI channel to the same number and switch program change receive mode on (see chapter 3.6.1).

If your MIDI foot controller can send MIDI controller data, you can change parameters while playing. For example, you can change the eect from 0% to 100% with the controller while playing. Set controller No. 116 to the Mix Internal function (value 1) and increase the eect (value 0 - 100) with controller No. 111. In this way, you can provide a guitar solo with chorus and delay, before removing the eects for a dry rhythm sound. You can even control the bypass function with your controller (contr. 113, value 0 = OUT, value 1 = IN). Bypassing the VIRTUALIZER 3D can be activated this way if you need an unprocessed signal. These procedures are generally possible with all MIDI devices which are capable of transmitting controller commands (like keyboards, sequencers, etc.).

The FX2000 can also be used between the outputs of your keyboard and the inputs of your mixer. If necessary, adjust the operating level with the corresponding switch on the rear panel of the unit.

4.5 Using the VIRTUALIZER 3D in a MIDI setup

Thanks to the integrated MIDI interface, you can incorporate the FX2000 in a MIDI setup. The VIRTUALIZER 3D can receive and send both program changes and controller changes. Thus, you can use program changes using MIDI with a sequencer or with any other MIDI device. Connect the FX2000 e.g. as follows:

MIDI In

MIDI Thru

5. MIDI Functions of the FX2000

Due to the complete implementation of the MIDI interface, it is very easy to integrate the VIRTUALIZER 3D in a MIDI System.

• MIDI IN

All MIDI data that are sent to the FX2000 (sequencer, MIDI foot controller, etc.) are received at the MIDI IN port. If you want to use the FX2000 as an eects unit in a guitar rack, you can connect a MIDI foot controller to the MIDI IN socket, and use it to change the program presets. If you are simultaneously operating another MIDI device, you can transfer the control commands of the MIDI foot controller using the MIDI THRU socket of the VIRTUALIZER 3D.

• MIDI THRU

6. Installation

6.1 Mains connection

Before connecting the VIRTUALIZER 3D to the mains, please carefully check that your equipment is set to the correct voltage! The fuse holder

on the mains socket has 3 triangular markings. Two of these triangles are located opposite each other. The VIRTUALIZER 3D is set at the operating voltage indicated beside the markings and can be changed by turning the fuse holder by 180°.

CAUTION: This is not applicable for export models, which were designed only for a mains voltage of 120 V!

Connection to the mains is made by means of a mains cable with an IEC receptacle which complies with the required safety regulations.

◊ Please note that all pieces of equipment must be grounded. For your

own safety, under no circumstances should you remove or deac tivate the grounding of the equipment or the mains cable.

6.2 Audio connections

As standard, the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D features electronically servo- balanced inputs and outputs. If possible, connec t the unit to other devices in a balanced conguration to allow for maximum interference immunity.

◊ Installation and operation of this equipment must be carried out by

Unbalanced ¼" TS connector

strain relief clamp

sleeve

tip

The MIDI THRU socket allows you to loop through incoming MIDI signals. Allcontrol commands that arrive at the MIDI IN socket can be passed on to other MIDI devices and instruments using the MIDI THRU socket.

• MIDI OUT

Use the MIDI OUT to send data to a connected computer or other VIRTUALIZER 3D.

5.1 Saving data via MIDI

To store all presets outside the VIRTUALIZER 3D, you can use a special form of MIDI communication called system exclusive data (SysEx). With SysEx, theVIRTUALIZER 3D sends information about its manufacturer, unit type, and all parameter settings for all presets to a sequencer or MIDI le recorder. Toactivate this very practical function, press the SETUP key in SETUP mode. Turn the 1stEDIT CONTROL to select “DUMP”. Your VIRTUALIZER 3D is now ready to transfer your system exclusive data. Select a track on your MIDI sequencer, get ready for recording, start the recording and turn the JOG WHEEL. The data transfer is indicated by a “GO” in the display.

To load the data back into the FX2000, select “DR.EN” in SETUP mode (seechapter

3.6.1). Turn the JOG WHEEL until “DR.EN” blinks. Now, start your MIDI sequencer and the preset data is automatically transferred to the FX2000. In this mode, information sent from the MIDI sequencer is automatically stored while receiving, without asking for conrmation.

6.3 MIDI connections

The MIDI connectors at the rear panel of the unit are equipped with internationally standardized 5 pin DIN sockets. You’ll need a MIDI cable to connect the VIRTUALIZER 3D with other MIDI devices. As a rule, standardready- to-use cables can be used. With a two core shielded cable (e.g. microphone cable) and two possible stable 180 deg. DIN plugs, you can also solder a MIDI cable yourself: Pin 2 (middle) = shield, pin 4 and 5 (right and left of pin 2) = Innerconductor, Pin 1 and 3 (both lying outside) remain free. MIDI cables should not be longer than 15 meters.

MIDI IN: is used for receiving MIDI data. The receiving channel is selected in the SETUP menu.

MIDI THRU: At the MIDI THRU socket, the MIDI data that arrive at the MIDI IN socket can be looped through. Several VIRTUALIZER 3Ds can be linked using MIDI THRU sockets.

MIDI OUT: Via MIDI OUT, you can send data to a connected computer or to other VIRTUALIZER 3Ds. Program data and status information are transmitted for signalprocessing.

6.4 Selecting the operating level

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D allows you to switch the internal operating level with the Operating Level switches on the rear panel of the unit. Thus,youcan choose between the homerecording level (-10 dBV) and the professional studio level (+4 dBu). With this adjustment, the VIRTUALIZER 3D is adapted to the optimal operating level. Use the input level meter on the front panel to nd the appropriate operating level.
