20 VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual
Using the VIRTUALIZER PRO in a MIDI setup4.5
Thanks to the integrated MIDI interface, you can incorporate the FX2000 in a
MIDI setup. The VIRTUALIZER PRO 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
MIDI Out
MIDI Out MIDI In 2
MIDI In 1

MIDI5. functions of the FX2000
Due to the complete implementation of the MIDI interface, it is very easy to
integrate the VIRTUALIZER PRO 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 effects 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 PRO.
MIDI THRU•
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 PRO.
Saving data via MIDI5.1
To store all presets outside the VIRTUALIZER PRO, you can use a special form
of MIDI communication called system exclusive data (SysEx). With SysEx,
the VIRTUALIZER PRO sends information about its manufacturer, unit type, and all
parameter settings for all presets to a sequencer or MIDI file recorder. To activate
this very practical function, press the SETUP key in SETUP mode. Turn the 1st
EDIT CONTROL to select “DUMP”. Your VIRTUALIZER PRO 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 confirmation.
Installation6.
Mains connection6.1
Before connecting the VIRTUALIZER PRO 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 PRO 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 deactivate
the grounding of the equipment or the mains cable.
Audio connections6.2
As standard, the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO features electronically servo-
balanced inputs and outputs. If possible, connect the unit to other devices in a
balanced configuration to allow for maximum interference immunity.
Installation and operation of this equipment must be carried out by ◊
competent staff 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.
