key to select the left audio channel.

8

Use the 

ENGINE R 

key to select the right audio channel. If you wish to process the left and right audio

channels simultaneously (

Couple

 mode), press both Engine keys at the same time. In Couple mode the

LED’s in the Engine keys light up. Whenever you edit one of the two audio channels and then switch to

Couple mode, the parameters of the channel last selected will be copied to the other channel.

9

In each preset you can edit two parameters. Use the 

EDIT A 

key to select the first parameter.

10

The 

EDIT B

 key allows you to alter the second parameter as required.

11

To give your programs the finishing touch, the VIRTUALIZER incorporates two filters. Use the 

EQ-LO

key to raise or lower the low-frequency portions of the effect program.

12

The 

EQ-HI 

key activates a filter which processes the high-frequency portions of your preset.

13

The 

IN/OUT 

key allows for bypassing the VIRTUALIZER. The green LED lights up as soon as the

VIRTUALIZER is activated. The LED flickers when relevant MIDI data is received.

14

Use the 

STORE 

key to save the edited program to a user preset as shown in the display. 100 user

presets are available on the VIRTUALIZER.

15

With the 

POWER 

switch you can activate the VIRTUALIZER.

4.1.1 Key combinations

To protect the VIRTUALIZER against user errors, three important edit commands have been implemented as a

series of key combinations. For example, in normal operating modes, the presets cannot be reset to their

factory defaults, so as to secure your own programs as perfectly as possible. Please proceed as follows to

reinitialize the preset default settings:

s

Press and keep the keys Effect and Store 

before powering up

 the VIRTUALIZER. Then switch on the

VIRTUALIZER and keep the two keys pressed for about two seconds. The programs are counted up and

reset to their original default settings.

The VIRTUALIZER provides two methods to mix the input and the effect signals (

Mix Extern 

and 

Mix Intern

mode). Select Mix-Extern mode to use the VIRTUALIZER with a mixing console: in this mode all presets are

set to 100% effect intensity, i.e. you can use the Aux Return busses of your console to add the processed

signal to the original signal. In Mix-Extern mode the In/Out key is used to bypass the unit. Here’s how to enter

Mix Extern mode:

s

With the unit switched on press the Mix mode key combination, i.e. the keys EQ LO and EQ HI. The

VIRTUALIZER enters Mix mode. When the display reads two dashes, the VIRTUALIZER is in Mix-Extern

mode, and when a figure is read Mix-Intern mode is selected. To toggle between the two modes, simply

press both EQ keys for about 2 seconds.

In Mix-Intern mode you can use the jog wheel to freely select the effect intensity in each preset within a range

of 0-100%, a highly useful feature, for instance, to insert the VIRTUALIZER in the effect loop of a guitar amp.

Good results can be achieved with settings between 20% and 50%.
Another key combination can be used to enter MIDI mode. With the VIRTUALIZER switched on, proceed as

follows:

s

Press and keep the keys In/Out and Store for about two seconds, the VIRTUALIZER  automatically enters

MIDI mode. Use the In/Out key to step through the various MIDI parameters. Press any other key to quit

MIDI mode.
