VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual

VINYLIZER: This effect adds clicks and/or noise to your audio signal, 

simulating old vinyl records and tape recorders. 
SAMPLER: This sampler allows you to record up to five seconds of program 

material. Use Edit A for recording and Edit B for playback of the sampled material.

VOCODER: The vocoder, an old acquaintance, has become popular again due to 

the disco renaissance (hear it in “Around the World” by Daft Punk or “California” 

by 2Pac). A control signal (usually a voice) is used in the right channel to modulate 

another signal which lies on the left channel (usually a synthesizer sound). 

It sounds as if the synthesizer is talking (robot voice).
VOICE CANCELER: The voice canceler is a very effective Karaoke effect. It allows 

removal of mono vocal parts in stereo recordings. The bass part, however, 

remains untouched.
RESONATOR: A resonator simulates an oscillating system that amplifies a specific 

frequency. The resonator implemented here has a resonance frequency that can 

be modulated with positive and negative feedbacks of up to 100%.

Tab. 2.8: Parameter functions of special effects

Effects 61 to 71 are multi-effects algorithms, which allow different effects to be 

used simultaneously. Effect 61, for example, can make a solo guitar “wider” with 

chorus and simultaneously add a room reverb. Please note that you can modify 

the structure of a multi-effect (see chapters 3.1 and 3.6.4).
CHORUS & REVERB: This algorithm combines the popular chorus with a gold 

plate effect (as in algorithm 2).
FLANGER & REVERB: The combination of flanger and reverb effects.
LESLIE & REVERB: The input signal, modulated to a degree that you specify, 

is then processed with a reverb effect. This effect works especially well with 

keyboards and guitars.
PITCH & REVERB: The pitch shifter can be detuned in semitone or cent steps. 

The reverb, on the other hand, can be controlled in time and mixing ratio.
DELAY & REVERB: Delay and reverb are the most common combinations for 

vocals, solo guitars, etc. The reverb used here is a gold plate, a room that features 

a distinctive brilliance and can be used in many ways. 
TREMOLO & REVERB: The intensive variation in volume of the tremolo gains 

more depth and wideness with the reverb.
PHASER & REVERB: The combination of a classic stereo phaser and a 

reverb effect.
CHORUS & DELAY: While the chorus can contribute to a wideness of the signal, 

interesting repetition effects can be adjusted with the delay. Vocals can be given 

a distinctive effect without making the voice sounding blurred.
FLANGER & DELAY: This effect is just right for creating a modern,  

slightly “spacey” vocal sound.
PITCH & DELAY: A repetition of the audio signal, with an oscillatory effect added 

by the pitch shifter.
TREMOLO & DELAY: A fast or slow, intensive variation of volume, which is 

additionally processed with a panorama effect.
