VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000

Much More than Just Reverb and Delay

The FX2000 has some of the best- sounding reverb and delay programs, but that’s not all. It also provides excellent modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger and phaser), including special variations like musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a leslie simulation.

Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:

• STEREO FLANGER – originally generated

by playing back two synchronized “reel to

reel” tape recorders with a finger rubbing

on the flange of one of the take-up reels

• VINTAGE FLANGER – simulates a guitar

flanger stomp box

•AUTO PANNING – signal is automatically sent from one side of the stereo image to the other, either once or multiple times

Dynamic FX:

•COMPRESSOR – reduces the dynamic range of the signal, maintains consistent signal level and thus avoids distortion associated with input levels

•EXPANDER – effectively broadens the dynamic range of source signals while reducing background noise

•GATE – this noise gate algorithm helps to reduce background clutter by setting a specific threshold level which mutes all surrounding noise below this threshold. Particularly effective on drum mics and vocals

•ANALOG COMPRESSOR/LIMITER – similar to COMPRESSOR but with Limiting functionality

•ULTRAMIZER – analyses incoming signal and automatically applies compression across two independent frequency bands

•DENOISER – eliminates or reduces noise and other interference

•DE-ESSER – reduces or removes sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal

•WAVE DESIGNER – allows you to influence the envelope by adjusting Attack and Release of the signal

Psychoacoustic FX:

•EXCITER – adds artificially generated overtones to the original signal, increasing presence and perceived loudness without significant increase in signal level

•ENHANCER – a dynamic equalizer which brings more clarity and a better stereo locating to your sound, similar to the effect of an exciter

• JET STREAM FLANGER – sounds like a

classic analog flanger

• STEREO CHORUS – combines a slightly

detuned signal with the original

• ANALOG CHORUS – simulates a guitar

chorus stomp box

• VINTAGE CHORUS – imitates a classic

analog studio chorus

• ULTRA CHORUS – creates the sound of an

eight-person chorus

• STEREO PHASER – combines a second,

phase-shifted signal to the original

• VINTAGE PHASER – represents a guitar

phaser stomp box

• DUAL PHASER – processes the left and

right channels separately

• LESLIE – simulation of the rotating

speakers typically used on an organ –

Slow or Fast

• PITCH SHIFTER – changes the pitch of the

original signal – can be used to create

harmonies with the original signal or

replace it entirely with the altered pitch.

Choices include stereo, two and three

vocal pitch shifter

• VIBRATO – the peak frequency of the tone

is periodically and uniformly changed

(quickly or slowly)

• TREMOLO – common vintage guitar

amplifier effect – a fast or slow periodic

variation in volume
