Using The Virtualizer Pro In The Insert Path - Behringer Virtualizer Pro DSP1024P User Manual

Connect the two Input phone jacks with the Aux Send outputs of the mixing console, and the Output jacks of
the VIRTUALIZER PRO with the Aux Return inputs of the console. If you want to use the BEHRINGER
VIRTUALIZER PRO in mono or dual mode, connect one audio channel (left or right) to one aux bus.
Turn down the volume on your amplifier to protect your equipment against damage. All
devices you wish to interconnect should remain switched off until they are wired correctly.
Let's suppose you wish to use the VIRTUALIZER PRO in a live application, interfaced with the F.O.H. mixer,
to enhance the guitar sound with a subtle chorus effect.
Connect the VIRTUALIZER PRO to the aux bus of your mixing console (fig. 3.1). Connect the units to the
mains and adjust the operating level(s) if necessary. Switch on the VIRTUALIZER PRO and set the levels
appropriately (see 3.1). Press the Mix combination to make sure that the unit is set to Mix External mode.
Press the EFFECT key and use the JOG WHEEL to select and thus activate the chorus effect (#19). Slowly
turn up the aux bus level until the effect portion added to the guitar signal suits your needs. Subsequently, you
can make all necessary fine-adjustments. We assume that you wish to edit the modulation frequency of the
chorus effect: press the VARIATION key and set the modulation frequency with the JOG WHEEL. To set the
modulation delay, press the EDIT A key. The modulation depth of the chorus effect can be set by pressing the
EDIT B key. Having edited all parameters as desired, you can save the changes to the original (or any other)
preset.

3.3 Using the VIRTUALIZER PRO in the insert path

Basically, you can also insert the VIRTUALIZER PRO in a channel or subgroup of your mixing console. Use a
dedicated insert cable. Inserting the VIRTUALIZER PRO in a single channel will be useful only if you wish to
process a specific signal (e.g. vocals) with the VIRTUALIZER PRO, or if any other insert facilities of your
mixing console are already in use.
With certain special effects, for example the "Vocoder" effect, it is even more useful to insert the
VIRTUALIZER PRO in a specific channel rather than connecting it to the aux bus. Proceed as follows: the
signal from which you are going to generate the vocoder sound is routed to the left audio channel
(e.g. keyboard sound), while the right audio channel can be used to control and modify this sound. Use a
dedicated insert cable to connect the left audio channel with a channel insert on your mixing console (fig. 3.2).
Connect the signal source to be processed with the vocoder effect (e.g. keyboard) to the normal channel input
(XLR/jack). Connect the right audio channel of the VIRTUALIZER PRO with a controller (e.g. a microphone
channel direct out). Talk into the microphone to control the keyboard sound with your voice, i.e. anything you
sing or talk into the microphone is reproduced together with the keyboard sound.
