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.
VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual 1.4 Control elements Fig. 1.1: VIRTUALIZER 3D front panel The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER 3D’s front panel includes five 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) (5) Every preset in the FX2000 allows you to edit at least four effect parameters.

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) .

VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual PSYCHO ACOUSTICS FILTER/EQ 2.5 Psycho-acoustic effects 2.6 Filter/EQ effects EXCITER: An exciter works with psycho-acoustic principles to add artificially generated overtones to the original signal, thereby increasing its presence and loudness (the subjective volume impression) without any significant increase of the signal level. FILTER: Filters, in general, influence the frequency response of a signal.
VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual DISTORTION/AMP Parameter Gain Distortion 2.7 Distortion effects and amp simulations Drive VOCAL DISTORTION: This effect is very hip when used on vocals and drum loops, and is combined with a delay and flanger. Type 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.
VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual SPECIAL FX 2.8 Special effects VINYLIZER: This effect adds clicks and/or noise to your audio signal, simulating old vinyl records and tape recorders. 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.

VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual 3.2 Calling up presets ◊ 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. The VIRTUALIZER 3D has 100 internal presets and 100 user presets that can be overwritten. The two memory banks are located one after another.
• VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual STOR: On the fifth 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 confirmation. In the “OFF” mode, controller 112 is ignored. ◊ CAUTION: The Store Enable mode is aimed to transfer several • • 3.
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, effects processors should always be connected to post fader aux busses.
VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual 4.5 Using the VIRTUALIZER 3D in a MIDI setup 6. Installation 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: 6.
