INTRODUCTION In purchasing the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO you have acquired an extremely efficient multi-effects processor that offers first class reverberation effects and a number of other algorithms. The DSP2024P has 71 new effects types, and thanks to its logically structured user interface, it can be used easily an[...]

7 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 1.2 Before you get started The VIRTUALIZER PRO 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.  If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and [...]

8 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 D[...]

9 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 pressi[...]

10 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 lon[...]

11 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 den[...]

12 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P PING PONG: A delay effect with changing stereo positioning, where the time intervals between the repetitions can be changed. T ab. 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 t[...]

13 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. T ab. 2.3: Functioning of the modulation and pitch s[...]

14 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. DEN[...]

15 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 an[...]

SAMPLER: This sampler allows you to record up to five seconds of program material. U[...]

18 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[...]

19 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” vo[...]

23 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 3.2 Calling up presets The VIRTUALIZER PRO 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 first and the user presets (U.000 - U.100) follow. After switching on the unit, the last used preset is automatica[...]

24 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P  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 edit[...]

25 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P V STOR: On the fifth page, you can select the Store Enable mode. In the “ON” mode, the VIRTUALIZER PRO 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, contro[...]

26 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 3.7 Restoring the factory presets To restore the DSP2024P 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. APPL[...]

27 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P  If your mixing console has aux busses that feature one jack for the aux send, use audio channel 1 on the DSP2024P. 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 y[...]

28 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P 4.4 Using the VIRTUALIZER PRO as an effects device for instruments Due to its MIDI implementation, the VIRTUALIZER PRO can also be used as multi-effects unit in a guitar rack. Naturally, the VIRTUALIZER PRO can be cabled both as mono and as stereo unit. The following examples show how to use the DSP2024P with a guitar se[...]

29 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P The DSP2024P 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 PRO in a MIDI setup Thanks to the integrated MIDI interface, you can incorporate the DSP2024P in [...]
