VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 User Manual
3.2 Calling up presets
The VIRTUALIZER 3D has 100 internal presets and 100 user presets that can be
overwritten. The two memory banks are located one after another. The internal
presets (I.000 - I.100) come first and the user presets (U.000 - U.100) follow.
After switching on the unit, the last used preset is automatically restored.
After switching on the unit, the last used preset is automatically restored.
To choose a different preset, press the PRESET key, then rotate the Jog Wheel.
To see the presets in ascending order, rotate the wheel clockwise. To see the
presets in descending order, rotate it counterclockwise.
◊
Please note that it takes the VIRTUALIZER 3D about one second to
activate each newly selected preset. The activation process is indicated
by a blinking light on the display. After the new effect’s data is
loaded, the VIRTUALIZER 3D activates the preset and the light fades.
This brief signal suppression means that during quick selection of
presets with the Jog Wheel, not every preset is activated directly.
Otherwise, there could be partial “shreds” of various presets at the
audio outputs of the FX2000. The VIRTUALIZER 3D gives you the security
that unwanted programs are not loaded. In addition, you can quickly
turn the Jog Wheel and still have enough time to specifically select a
preset without activating “neighboring programs”.

3.3 Editing programs (Edit Mode)
Programs can be edited easily and quickly with the FX2000. The list on the right
side of the LED DISPLAY gives you an overview of the effects algorithms that the
VIRTUALIZER 3D can generate. To select these basic algorithms, press the EFFECT
key and rotate the Jog Wheel.
By turning the EDIT CONTROLs and the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL, you can extensively
By turning the EDIT CONTROLs and the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL, you can extensively
modify the sound of an effects program. You select the EDIT CONTROL function
using the EDIT key. By repeatedly pressing the EDIT key, you can (for example)
specify whether parameter EDIT A or EDIT E will be changed with the 1st EDIT
CONTROL.The currently illuminated LED indicates which parameters will be
edited. By modifying the EQ LO and EQ HI parameters, you can put the final touch
on an effect. As soon as you start editing, the LED of the PRESET or EFFECT key
(depending on whether you have already loaded one of the 200 presets or have
selected one of the basic algorithms) dies out. Simultaneously, the LED of the
STORE key starts to blink, indicating that changes have been made.
3.4 Storing programs
To store changes to one of the 100 user presets, as described in chapter 3.3,
you use the STORE key. All changes to the FX2000’s parameters can be stored
when the STORE key’s LED blinks. For your changes to be accepted, you must
press the STORE key twice. An example:
•
You call up a program and make changes to it using the four EDIT
CONTROLs and the MIX/BYPASS CONTROL. Each EDIT CONTROL controls
two parameters that can be selected by pressing the EDIT key. During this
process, the STORE key blinks, indicating that the preset’s settings have
been changed. However, your changes are not yet stored. If you want to
overwrite the original preset, simply press the STORE key twice to store your
changes. If you wish to retain the original preset, press the STORE key once.
The display shows the current preset number and starts blinking. Use the Jog
Wheel to select another preset, which you will overwrite. Press the STORE
key again and your changes are stored in the selected preset.
◊
If there is no input for about five seconds after pressing the STORE key,
the unit goes back to edit mode.
the unit goes back to edit mode.
◊
If you make changes in a preset and press the STORE key twice, all of
the preset’s original settings are overwritten and your new parameters
are stored. If you want to retain the old preset, you must select another
preset (using the Jog Wheel) before pressing the STORE key for the
second time.

3.5 Comparing an edited preset with
the corresponding factory preset
(compare function)
the corresponding factory preset
(compare function)
When you have made changes in a preset but have not yet stored your changes,
the COMPARE Function allows you to load the original factory preset and compare
it with your changes. To do so, press the COMPARE key while in edit mode. As long
as the COMPARE key’s LED blinks, further editing is (temporarily) not possible.
Press the COMPARE key again to return to your edited preset. Here, you have
the choice to either store your changes (see chapter 3.4), or continue editing
(see chapter 3.3).
3.6 SETUP mode
In SETUP mode, you can make global adjustments to the VIRTUALIZER 3D as
described in the sub-sections below. Among these are MIDI, Input mode,
Output mode and dual engine configuration (CONFIG). To enter SETUP mode,
press the SETUP key. The red LED below the EDIT CONTROLs lights up. The four
EDIT CONTROLs can now be used to adjust the SETUP parameters. To exit this
mode, press the SETUP key again.
3.6.1 MIDI control
