VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P

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, controller 112 is ignored.

CAUTION: The Store Enable mode is aimed to transfer several presets at once from an external PC to the VIRTUALIZER PRO (see also chapter 5.1). In this mode, you can very easily overwrite your program locations by unintentionally sending controller 112 values to the DSP2024P! Therefore, we strongly recommend to switch off this mode immediately after use. When the DSP2024P is switched on, this mode is automatically set to off (“OFF”).

DUMP: Select the System Exclusive mode (“SysEx”) using the sixth page. In this mode, the DSP2024P is ready to “dump” its complete storage content, including all settings, to a MIDI sequencer. Start your MIDI sequencer and turn the JOG WHEEL. The data transfer is indicated by “GO”.

DR.EN: In this mode, the DSP2024P can receive SysEx data from another MIDI device. To load this data, turn the JOG WHEEL slightly so that the DISPLAY blinks. Start your sequencer, and all of your settings, including preset parameter settings, are received by your VIRTUALIZER PRO. Data transfer is interrupted by turning the JOG WHEEL slightly so that “----” appears in the DISPLAY.

During a SysEx data transfer, all audio functions of the VIRTUALIZER PRO are inactive.

3.6.2 INPUT mode

With the help of the 2nd EDIT CONTROL, you can specify whether your DSP2024P works as a mono (“MONO”) or a stereo unit (“STER”). In mono mode, input 1 is used exclusively. Since the VIRTUALIZER PRO is a real “True Stereo” device, the DSP processes the signal for many effects separately for both channels (see chapter 7.1). For effects 13 - 15 and 38, right and left channel parameters can even be edited separately.

For effects 42 - 44, 58, and 59, a signal must be present at both inputs for optimal stereo results.

3.6.3 OUTPUT mode

Use the 3rd EDIT CONTROL to determine the DSP2024P’s OUTPUT mode. The selection of settings depends on your DSP2024P’s application. If you’re using the VIRTUALIZER PRO in connection with a mixing console (aux bus), activate the Mix External (“EXTN”) output mode. The DSP2024P’s output signal is then 100% wet.

If you’re using the DSP2024P with a guitar amplifier that has an effects loop, select the Mix Internal (“INTN”) output mode. Then, use the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL to adjust the effect volume. For further information, see chapters 4.2 and 4.4.

3.6.4 Dual engine configuration (CONFIG)

You can use the 4th EDIT CONTROL to decide how the DSP2024P’s effects combinations (presets 61 - 71) should be structured. Since the DSP2024P is a true Dual Engine unit, you can choose between serial 1 (“SER1”), serial 2 (“SER2”) and parallel (“PARA”). See fig. 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 to understand how these settings influence the composition of the effects combinations.

In the example of preset 61 (chorus & reverb), you can decide, whether the chorus and reverb effects run separately from each other or whether the signal, treated by the chorus, passes the reverb effect.
