VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000

High-Performance 3D Multi-Engine Effects Processor

Get even more mind-expanding power for your keyboard, bass, guitar or vocals with the VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 Effects Processor. This amazing rack unit has 71 incredible new algorithms, including true studio-grade stereo and 3D effects that will add a head-spinning new dimension to your sound, both live and in the studio. The FX2000 employs BEHRINGER RSM (Real Sound Modeling) technology to simulate acoustic environments with stunning accuracy. Effects options include powerful modulation, amp simulation, distortion and special effects, as well as effective dynamic and psychoacoustics processing. Performance is further enhanced through user-addressable high and low EQ and wave-adaptive VIRTUAL ROOM reverb algorithms.

Reverbs & Delays

Because it is one of the most desired effects, the FX2000 provides 12 different reverb programs, so you always have the ideal reverb for your live performance or studio needs.

Reverbs include:

• CATHEDRAL
• GOLD PLATE
• SMALL HALL
• ROOM
• CONCERT
• STAGE
• SPRING REVERB
• AMBIENCE
• EARLY REFLECTIONS

Specialty reverbs include:

• GATED REVERB – reverb is synthetically turned off after a predetermined amount of time
• REVERSE REVERB – reverb envelope is reversed—it slowly gets louder

Delays include:

• STEREO DELAY – delay is processed across the entire stereo image
• TAPE ECHO – simulates classic tape echo devices, predating the advent of digital delays
• PING PONG – delay signal is “bounced” from left to right at an adjustable tempo

Much More than Just Reverb and Delay

The FX2000 has some of the best-sounding reverb and delay programs, but that’s not all. It also provides excellent modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger and phaser), including special variations like musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a leslie simulation.

Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:

• STEREO FLANGER — originally generated by playing back two synchronized “reel to reel” tape recorders with a finger rubbing on the flange of one of the take-up reels
• VINTAGE FLANGER — simulates a guitar flanger stomp box
• JET STREAM FLANGER — sounds like a classic analog flanger
• STEREO CHORUS — combines a slightly detuned signal with the original
• ANALOG CHORUS — simulates a guitar chorus stomp box
• VINTAGE CHORUS — imitates a classic analog studio chorus
• ULTRA CHORUS — creates the sound of an eight person chorus
• STEREO PHASER — combines a second, phase-shifted signal to the original
• VINTAGE PHASER — represents a guitar phaser stomp box
• DUAL PHASER — processes the left and right channels separately
• LESLIE — simulation of the rotating speakers typically used on an organ – Slow or Fast
• PITCH SHIFTER (changes the pitch of the original signal) — can be used to create harmonies with the original signal or replace it entirely with the altered pitch. Choices include stereo, two and three vocal pitch shifter
• VIBRATO — the peak frequency of the tone is periodically and uniformly changed (quickly or slowly)
• TREMOLO (common vintage guitar amplifier effect) — a fast or slow periodic variation in volume
• AUTO PANNING — signal is automatically sent from one side of the stereo image to the other, either once or multiple times

Dynamic FX:

• COMPRESSOR — reduces the dynamic range of the signal, maintains consistent signal level and thus avoids distortion associated with excessive input levels
• EXPANDER — effectively broadens the dynamic range of source signals while reducing background noise
• GATE — this noise gate algorithm helps to reduce background clutter by setting a specific threshold level which mutes all surrounding noise below this threshold. Particularly effective on drum mics and vocals
• ANALOG COMPRESSOR/LIMITER — similar to COMPRESSOR but with Limiting functionality
• ULTRAMIZER — analyzes incoming signal and automatically applies compression across two independent frequency bands
• DENOISER — eliminates or reduces noise and other interference
• DE-ESSER — reduces or removes sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal
• WAVE DESIGNER — allows you to influence the envelope by adjusting Attack and Release of the signal

Psychoacoustic FX:

• EXCITER — adds artificially generated overtones to the original signal, increasing presence and perceived loudness without significant increase in signal level
• ENHANCER — a dynamic equalizer which brings more clarity and a better stereo locating to your sound, similar to the effect of an exciter
• ULTRA BASS — sub-harmonic processor combined with bass exciter and limiter
• STEREO IMAGER — divides the signal into middle and side signals, allowing individual signals to be amplified when desired and placed on the stereo image
• ULTRA WIDE — creates a broader stereo image
• BINAURALIZER — also creates a broader stereo image and compensates for crosstalk between both speakers

Filter/EQ FX:

• AUTO FILTER — influences the frequency response of a signal. Three filter types in different variations are included: low pass, band pass and high pass
• LFO FILTER — similar to the auto filter algorithm, but modulated by an oscillator with different wave types and speed adjustments
• PARAMETRIC EQ — allows you to control the bandwidth, frequency and amplitude of a signal
• GRAPHIC EQ — the sound spectrum is divided into six (6) adjacent frequency bands, which can be cut or boosted, bandwidth is predetermined

Distortion FX and Amp Simulations

The FX2000 is also equipped with distortion, amplifier and speaker simulation including VOCAL DISTORTION, TUBE DISTORTION, GUITAR AMP, TRI FUZZ, SPEAKER SIMULATION, RING MODULATOR and LO-FI.

Special FX:

• VINYLIZER — adds clicks and/or noise to the signal, reminiscent of old vinyl records and tape machines
• SAMPLER — allows you to record and playback up to five (5) seconds of program material
• VOCODER — allows the input signal to modulate another signal (usually a synthesizer sound), creating the familiar “talking synthesizer” effect
• VOICE CANCELER — removes mono vocal parts from stereo recordings for “instant Karaoke”
• RESONATOR — simulates an oscillating system that amplifies a specific frequency

Our FX Combinations Go to 11

Sometimes you want to add a little (or a lot) of color to your reverb and delay patches. The FX2000 allows you to layer modulation effects like chorus, flanger, pitch or tremolo with your reverb or delay selections.

FX Combinations include:

• Chorus & Reverb
• Flanger & Reverb
• Leslie & Reverb
• Pitch & Reverb
• Delay & Reverb
• Tremolo & Reverb
• Phaser & Reverb
• Chorus & Delay
• Flanger & Delay
• Pitch & Delay
• Tremolo & Delay

Enhanced User Editability

Logical grouping of parameters, along with the combination of encoders, buttons, LEDs and an easily readable LED display, make operating the FX2000 a breeze. You are free to edit up to seven parameters per preset, and then save them for future use in the 100 provided memory locations.
