Behringer LX1200H, LX210 manual V-AMPIRE display

V-AMPIRE LX1200H/LX210

The TAP button has seven functions:

s“Tap”: Tap the rhythm of a piece of music on the TAP button and the selected effect automatically adapts to the tempo of the music.

s“Presence”: While holding down the TAP button, you can use the TREBLE control to change the PRESENCE setting of the amp model you’ve selected.

s“2nd parameter”: You also can access the second effects parameter set by using the EFFECT control while holding down the TAP button.

s“Amp Models 17 - 32”: Keep the TAP button pressed down and select an amp model using the AMPS control.

s“MIDI Thru”: The MIDI OUT connector can be set to act as

MIDI THRU (see “A”).

s“Drive”: Using the TAP button and the EFFECT control changes the sound of the Wah-Wah effect.

s“Input Gain”: By pressing the TAP button in the

configuration menu (see ) you change the value (please refer to chapter 3.1 for further information).

The DISPLAY shows you which preset bank you have selected and gives you information on parameter changes when you are editing. In TUNER mode the DISPLAY shows the pitch of the instrument connected to the unit. If one of the amplifier simulations 17 - 32 has been selected, the LED in the bottom left-hand corner of the DISPLAY lights up. Applied signals are indicated by the green SIGNAL LED, overload signals by the red CLIP LED.

This control is for selecting an effect or a combination of effects. This encoder-type rotary control is also surrounded by a ring of 16 LEDs. Each LED corresponds to one specific effects preset.

If an effect has been selected via , its part of the overall sound can be set using this EFFECTS control. If you select the “Compressor” effect, you can use the EFFECTS control to adjust the compression intensity. Turning the control to the left until all the LEDs are off disables the effect. This is known as an effects bypass.

+By pressing the TAP button, you can set a second effects parameter using the EFFECTS control (see table 6.1).

Using the REVERB control, you can gradually add reverb to your overall sound. By turning it to the left until all the LEDs are off, you deactivate the reverb. To fade out the original signal, turn the control to the right until only the last LED lights up.

The MASTER control determines the overall volume of your device.

+This is the only “conventional” non-programmable control. All other controls are encoder-type rotary controls whose settings can be stored as a preset.

The INPUT socket is the 1/4" connector for your guitar. Please use a standard 1/4" TS connector.

The stereo PHONES connector allows you to monitor the audio signal with standard headphone (e.g. BEHRINGER HP series).

+Your V-AMPIRE automatically activates studio mode 1 (S1) when connecting headphones. In this mode the digital speaker simulations are activated. With the headphones plugged in, you are able to select any other configuration, e.g. for monitoring purposes (see also chapter 3).

+If you did not choose a speaker simulation with the current setting and connect headphones, the device will automatically switch to a speaker simulation. This will increase the listener’s sound impression. Please refer to table 5.2 for detailed information on the various speaker/amp combinations. However, you can intentionally change or deactivate the simulation when using headphones by selecting

“-” in the CABINETS mode (see C).

WARNING!

+Please note that high volume levels may cause permanent damage to your hearing and/or your headphones. Turn all LEVEL controls to the left before you switch on the unit. Be sure to keep the volume at an appropriate level.
