VIRTUALIZER enables the preset and the dot disappears. This brief interruption avoids the direct
activation of every preset, as you scroll through the preset list with the jog wheel. Otherwise, incomplete
"parameter remnants" of presets could reach the audio outputs of the VIRTUALIZER, with possibly
disastrous consequences, espcially when using a high-power P.A. system. Thus, the VIRTUALIZER
makes sure that no "unwanted" programs are loaded unintentionally. Additionally, you can rotate the jog
wheel at high speed and still have the time to specifically select the preset of your choice, instead of any
of its "neighbors".
6.3 Editing programs
Editing programs is easy on the VIRTUALIZER. Bascially, all essential parameters can be selected directly
via the keypad and edited with the jog wheel. The list to the left of the display summarizes the effect algorithms
that the VIRTUALIZER can generate. Just press the Effect key to recall these basic algorithms and directly
select them with the jog wheel. With the Variation key you can modify the selected effect in full detail, because
each Variation does not only comprise one parameter but a set of several parameters. Thus, you can use the
various Variations to tailor the sound of an effects program to suit your specific needs. The Edit A and B keys
enable you to edit essential single parameters of the selected effects program, while the EQ-LO and EQ-HI
keys allow for adapting your own presets to match specific room acoustics or sound preferences. Use the
Engine-L and Engine-R keys to edit the left or right audio channel settings. Of course, you can edit both
channels at the same time in Couple mode. When entering Couple mode, the VIRTUALIZER copies the
parameter settings of the channel last activated to the other channel, so that both of them have an identical set
of parameter values. Finally, you can also save the edits made to the preset.
6.4 Saving programs
Use the Store key to save an edited preset (see section 6.3). Basically, all parameter changes can be saved.
Whenever youre editing a preset, the display starts flashing to indicate that the edits will be saved only when
you confirm them by pressing the Store key twice. Example:
s
You recall a program for editing. Then you edit the preset as desired using the function keys and the jog
wheel. During this process, the flashing Store key reminds you that the preset settings have been changed
but not saved yet. Press the Store key once. The display reads the current preset number and starts
flashing. To keep the original preset, use the jog wheel to select another preset that can be overwritten.
Press the Store key again to save the edits to the selected preset. If you wish to overwrite the original
preset, simply press the Store key twice (after editing) to save all changes you have made.
+
Whenever you have edited a preset and pressed the Store key twice, all previous settings in
this preset are erased and overwritten with the new parameter values. However, if you wish to
keep the original preset, use the jog wheel to select another preset
before
you press the Store
key a second time.
6.5 MIDI control
Use the MIDI key combination to select the MIDI parameters you wish to adjust. For this purpose press and
keep the IN/OUT and the STORE keys for about two seconds. All parameters can be edited with the jog wheel
and the IN/OUT key. The MIDI menu includes five pages which you can select by pressing the IN/OUT key
several times.
On the first page you can select the MIDI channel. The display reads a small c (= channel). The jog wheel
adjusts a channel from 1 through 16. To switch off the MIDI function simply select the 0 value (displayed as
-).
On the second page you can select MIDI Omni mode, i.e. the unit transmits/receives on all 16 MIDI channels.
The display reads O (=Omni). Use the jog wheel to activate (1) or deactivate (0) Omni mode.
The third page allows for configuring controller commands. On its right-hand side, the display reads a capital
C (=Controller). The jog wheel selects one of the following four controller modes:
