ULTRAROC GX110

75-81 Pitch Shifter: This effect shifts the pitch of the input signal and can be used to produce musical intervals and harmonies or simply to widen a single voice. Heavy detuning by several semi-tones up creates a Mickey-Mouse-type effect. The preset variations include various fixed intervals.

82-85 Pitch/Reverb: Here, a pitch shifter set to various cent and semi-tone intervals is followed by a reverb. Adjustable parameter: pitch shifter mix.

86-89 Pitch/Delay: First, the signal passes the pitch shifter set to various intervals. Then, a delay effect is added. Use the FX MIX control to edit the pitch shift mix parameter.

90-91 Compressor: To make an audio signal heard in the mix, it often needs to be limited in its dynamic range. This job is done by compressors and/or limiters. Limiters abruptly limit the signal above a specific threshold, while compressors provide for a “soft” control process over a wider range. The FX MIX control allows you to adjust the compressor threshold. Use this effect to give your guitar longer sustain, or to make the attack sounds of funky guitar licks (Chicken Scratch) clearly audible.

92-93 Expander: All sorts of background noise and hum limit the dynamic range of the wanted signal. As long as the level of the wanted signal is considerably above the noise floor, background noise is inaudible: the interference signal is masked by the music. Expanders can be used to efficiently expand the dynamic range of signals. Small signal amplitudes are cut additionally, which at the same time reduces background noise. Use the FX MIX control to determine the expander threshold.

94-96 Guitar Combo: This effect simulates the sound characteristics of a complete guitar amp, mimicking not only two tube stages, but also cabinet and speaker. Use the FX MIX control to adjust the mix of direct and combo signals.

97-99 Speaker Cabinet: This algorithm emulates three different types of speaker cabinets. Additionally, you can shift the speaker’s main resonance peak. Use the FX MIX control to edit the filter frequency.

3.2 Controlling the ULTRAROC via MIDI

With its built-in MIDI interface you can integrate your ULTRAROC into any MIDI setup. The GX110 is capable of receiving both program change and MIDI controller information. So, you can change programs via MIDI using a MIDI foot controller or a computer-based sequencer software. Our MIDI foot controller FCB1010 gives you precisely these and more options, and is a perfect match for all BEHRINGER guitar amps. For example, you could wire the ULTRAROC as follows:

Connect the MIDI IN jack of your ULTRAROC to the MIDI OUT jack of a MIDI foot controller (see fig. 2.2). Now, enable the MIDI functions on your ULTRAROC by pressing the EFFECT and CHANNEL buttons for about one second. Use the EFFECTS control to select a MIDI channel (1 through 16, “ON” = Omni mode, “OF” = off). Confirm your selection with EFFECT. Omni mode means that your ULTRAROC receives and processes MIDI information on all channels. Of course, you should select the same channel both on your MIDI foot controller and ULTRAROC (see MIDI foot controller user’s manual).
