The VARIATION key allows you to select an alternative variation of each effect algorithm activating a
different setup of the numerous internal effect parameters. With this feature you can extensively manipu-
late the effect sound within a very wide range.
7
Use the ENGINEL key to select the left audio channel for true-stereo effects. Many effects may have
different ENGINEL and ENGINER parameters available through EDITA and EDITB. Where to find
which parameter can be seen from the parameter list printed on the top of the unit.
8
Use the ENGINER key to select the right audio channel (similar to point 7: ENGINEL). If you wish to
process the left and right audio channels simultaneously (COUPLE mode), press both Engine keys
together. In COUPLE mode both Engine LEDs light up. Whenever you edit one of the two audio chan-
nels and then switch to COUPLE mode, the parameters of the active channel will be copied to the other;
i.e if you press ENGINE L before R, left will be copied to right. When parameters cannot be adjusted
separately in a specific algorithm, the DSP1000P switches to COUPLE mode automatically.
9
In each preset you can edit at least two parameters in addition to the preset variation. Use the EDITA
key to select the first parameter. The exact parameter assignment can be seen from the parameter list
printed on top of the unit.
10
The EDITB key allows you to modify the second parameter as required.
11
To give your programs the finishing touch, the VIRTUALIZERPRO incorporates two filters. Use the EQ-
HI key to raise or lower the high-frequency portions of the effect program.
12
The EQ-LO key activates a filter which processes the low-frequency portions of your preset.
13
The IN/OUT key enables you to bypass the DSP1000P. The green LED lights up as soon as the
VIRTUALIZERPRO is activated. Depending on the Mix mode adjusted (see below), this key can also be
used to activate the Mute function. Additionally, the green LED starts flashing whenever MIDI data are
being received.
14
Use the STORE key to save the edited program to a user preset as shown in the display. 100 user
presets are available on the DSP1000P. Press the key once to select a memory location (number), then
press it again to store the preset.
15
Use the POWER switch to switch the VIRTUALIZERPRO on or off.
Key combinations
To protect the DSP1000P against user errors, three important edit commands have been implemented as a
series of key combinations. For example, in normal operating modes, the presets cannot be reset to their
factory defaults, so as to secure your own programs as safely as possible. Please proceed as follows to
reinitialize the preset default settings:
s Keep the keys EFFECT and STORE pressed before powering up the VIRTUALIZERPRO. Then
switch on the DSP1000P and keep the two keys pressed for about two seconds. The program
numbers are counted up and reset to their original default settings.
The VIRTUALIZERPRO provides two methods to mix the input and the effect signals (External Mix and
Internal Mix modes). Select External Mix mode to use the DSP1000P with a mixing console: in this mode all
presets are set to 100% effect intensity, i.e. you can use the aux return busses of your console to add the
processed signal to the original signal. In External Mix mode the IN/OUT key is used to bypass the unit. Heres
how to enter External Mix mode:
s With the unit switched on, press the Mix mode key combination, i.e. the keys EQ LO and EQ HI.
The VIRTUALIZERPRO enters Mix mode. When the display shows two dashes, the DSP1000P
is in External Mix mode, and when a figure is displayed, Internal Mix mode is selected. To toggle
between the two modes, simply press both EQ keys for about 2 seconds.
In Internal Mix mode you can use the jog wheel to freely select the effect intensity in each preset within a
range from 0% to 100%, a highly useful feature, for instance, to insert the DSP1000P in the effect loop of a
guitar amp. Good results can be achieved with settings between 20% and 50%.
Another key combination can be used to enter MIDI mode. With the VIRTUALIZERPRO switched on, pro-
ceed as follows:
s Keep the keys IN/OUT and STORE pressed for about two seconds, the DSP1000P automati-
cally enters MIDI mode. Use the IN/OUT key to step through the various MIDI parameters. Press
