4 DSP1200P MODULIZERPRO Ultra-high performance Digital Multi-Effects Processor powered by a 24-bit high-speed Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
5 E FOREWORD Dear Customer, Welcome to the team of MODULIZERPRO users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing this unit.
6 T ABLE OF CONTENTS 1 . INTRODUCTION . . . . .. ............................................................................................................... 7 1. 1 The design concept ................................................................
7 E 1. INTRODUCTION With the BEHRINGER MODULIZERPRO you have acquired an extremely powerful and versatile multi-effects processor, which besides first-class modulation effects is equipped with many other algorithms.
8 s Extremely low-noise and high-precision 20-bit AD/DA converters. s A professional 46 kHz sampling rate guarantees high signal resolution with a frequency response of 20 Hz through 20 kHz. s The 24-bit processor provides lots of computing power (dual-engine software) for real-time effect modula- tion.
9 E 1.3 Control elements.
10 + As long as none of the edit functions to the right of the jog wheel has been selected, you can use the wheel to select a program directly, which is shown by a dot lighting up in the display. While this dot is on, you can select a program though its settings will not take immediate effect.
11 E The MODULIZERPRO enters Mix mode. When the display reads two dashes, the DSP1200P is in External Mix mode, and when a figure is read, Internal Mix mode is selected. To toggle between the two modes, simply press both EQ keys for about 1 second.
12 1. 4 The effect algorithms In a digital effects device all effect programs are based on algorithms computed by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). How does this work? A DSP can perform an enormous number of binary computations in a minimum amount of time.
13 E + We recommend that you make frequent A/B comparisons (IN/OUT) between the original and the processed signals. Rule of thumb: sound-enhancing effects should be missed when ab- sent instead of directly audible.
14 EDITD: Bandlimit: this parameter enables you to filter the feedback path, which is useful for feedback set- tings of up to 100%. + Tip: there is no limitation as to the range of instruments that can be processed with a flanging effect.
15 E EDITB: Spread: controls the depth of the sound image. EDITC: Crossover Frequency: adjusts the 3D effect onset. In this algorithm the MIX function controls the ratio of middle vs. side signals. + When you increase stereo width on heavily reverberated audio material, the reverb can sound unnatural and too intense.
16 The parameters: VARIATION: Bass Frequency: this parameter controls the maximum frequency of bass components to be retained in the mix signal. EDITA: Gain: adjusts the level of the output signal by +/-6dB. EDITB: Bass Pan: adjusts the panorama of the low-frequency range.
17 E + Similar to the compressor, there is no need for a Mix function here. Gate Noise-gates can be used in a variety of applications, both on stage and for miking instruments in the studio. For example, they can be used to suppress feedback (e.g. from vocal mics) or to fade out vocal signals (plus background noise) during pauses.
18 Vintager ® Digital technology has been trying for years to produce ever more high-quality, low-noise and brilliant sounds, but most recently more and more people have been going back to the roots looking for the warmth of old analog sounds.
19 E Guitar Speaker This effect simulates three different speaker types. Types 1 and 2 are typical guitar amp speakers, while type 3 represents a multimedia speaker. Additionally, you can use a parametric EQ to fine-tune the sound image. The parameters: VARIATION: Speaker Type: selects one of three speaker types.
20 EDITB: Speed: controls LFO speed*) in mode L, envelope follower speed in mode A and random oscillator speed in modes R0-R7. EDITC: Depth: determines the modulation depth. EDITD: Feedback: controls the resonance intensity.
21 E 2. 2 Selecting presets The MODULIZERPRO stores 100 user-definable presets. After power-up, the unit automatically recalls the preset last used. To select another preset, use the jog wheel to enter the preset number of your choice. Turn the wheel clockwise to increment the preset number, or counterclockwise to decrement it.

23 E s MIDI THRU The MIDI THRU jack is used to loop through incoming MIDI data, i.e. any control data received at the MIDI IN of the MODULIZERPRO can be transmitted via the MIDI THRU jack to other MIDI devices/instruments. s MIDI OUT The MIDI OUT jack allows for transmitting MIDI data that originate from the MODULIZERPRO.

26 can wire the MODULIZERPRO in stereo. Connect the preamp to the audio inputs of the MODULIZERPRO, and the audio outputs (left/right) to one channel each of the power amp (left/right). + Since most guitar amps only have a serial insert loop, you should make sure that the MODULIZERPRO is set to Mix-Intern mode.
27 E 3. 6 Saving data via MIDI The MODULIZERPROs MIDI implementation also allows for archiving one or several presets on an external storage medium. Proceed as follows: Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the MODULIZERPRO to the MIDI IN jack of a MIDI data recorder (e.

30 is further reduced. Generally, dynamic restrictions are due to noisy storage in transmission media and also the maximum headroom of these systems. 4.3 .1 Noise as a physical phenomenon All electrical components produce a certain level of inherent noise.
31 E aid of a volume fader, which manually levels the material. During low passages the gain is increased, during loud passages the gain is reduced. Of course it is fairly obvious that this kind of manual control is rather restrictive; it is difficult to detect signal peaks and it is almost impossible to level them out.
32 times you should switch to the level meter menu where the functioning of the limiter can be monitored. 4.3.4 Expanders/noise-gates Audio, in general, is only as good as the source from which it was derived. The dynamic range of signals will often be restricted by noise.
33 E Tubes do not however have the same task in a recording studio as in an overdriven guitar amp, where the considerably higher saturation of the tube(s) leads to a full and often deliberate modification of the input signal (in many cases combined with a heavy increase in noise floor levels).
34 with the identical type and rating. NEVER use fuses of different ratings or cover faulty fuses with aluminium foil. This can cause fire and electric shocks and will endanger your life and the lives of others. 5. 3 Audio connections As standard, the BEHRINGER MODULIZERPRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs.

36 5. 5 Operating level switch To adapt the MODULIZER PRO to the used operating level, the unit can be switched between homerecording level (-10dBV) and professional level (+4dBu). Use the LED bars on the frontpanel to determine the optimal setting.
