Let’s suppose you wish to use the VIRTUALIZER in a live application, interfaced with the f.o.h. mixer, to
enhance the guitar sound with a subtle chorus effect.
s Connect the VIRTUALIZER to the aux bus of your mixing console (fig. 7.1). Connect the units to the mains
and adapt the operating level(s) if necessary (see 3.2 - 3.4). Switch on the VIRTUALIZER and set the levels
appropriately (see 7.1). Press the Mix combination to make sure that the unit is set to Mix-Extern mode
(see 4.1.1). Press the Effect key and use the jog wheel to select and thus activate the chorus effect (#19).
Slowly turn up the aux bus level until the effect portion added to the guitar signal suits your needs.
Subsequently, you can make all necessary fine-adjustments. We assume that you wish to edit the modulation
frequency of the chorus effect: press the Variation key and set the modulation frequency with the jog wheel.
To set the modulation delay, press the Edit-A key, while the modulation depth of the chorus effect can be
set by pressing the Edit-B key. Having edited all parameters as desired, you can save the edits to the
original (or any other) preset.
7.3 Using the VIRTUALIZER in the insert path
Basically, you can also insert the VIRTUALIZER in a channel or subgroup of your mixing console. Use a
dedicated insert cable. Inserting the VIRTUALIZER in a single channel will be useful only if you wish to process
a specific signal (e.g. vocals) with the VIRTUALIZER, or if any other insert facilities of your mixing console are
already in use.

With certain special effects, for example the "Vocoder" effect, it is even more useful to insert the VIRTUALIZER
in a specific channel rather than connecting it to the aux bus. Proceed as follows: the signal from which you are
going to generate the vocoder sound is routed to the left audio channel (e.g. keyboard sound), while the right
audio channel can be used to control and modify this sound. Use a dedicated insert cable to connect the left
audio channel with a channel insert on your mixing console (fig. 7.2). Connect the signal source to be processed
with the vocoder effect (e.g. keyboard) to the normal channel input (XLR/jack). Connect the right audio channel
of the VIRTUALIZER with a controller (e.g. a microphone channel direct out). Talk into the microphone to
control the keyboard sound with your voice, i.e. anything you sing or talk into the microphone is reproduced
together with the keyboard sound.
