VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P Tab. 2.6: Functioning of the filter/EQ effects parameters 2.7 Distortion effects and amp simulations VOCAL DISTORTION: This effect is very hip when used on vocals and drum loops, and is combined with a delay and flanger. TUBE DISTORTION: This effect simulates the sound of different tube types. When an analog tube, as found in a guitar amplifier, is overamplified by raising the input signal (e.g. of a guitar), the original signal is mixed with the harmonic overtones. With rising overmodulation (also known as saturation of tubes), the original signal is distorted and the sound is fresh and full. This is a classic sound in rock music. GUITAR AMP: This effect simulates the sound characteristics of a complete guitar amplifier. You can connect a guitar or bass (after appropriate pre-amplification) directly to the VIRTUALIZER PRO, and from there to a mixing console or recording device. FUZZ: This is a special guitar distortion type. Jimi Hendrix was one of the first guitarists to recognize the appeal of this broadband transistor overmodulation. The humming distortion of the FUZZ BOX has again become popular with alternative rock and grunge. The VIRTUALIZER PROs fuzz works in three different frequency bands. SPEAKER SIMULATION: The VIRTUALIZER PRO is able to simulate various types of speakers. Typical guitar amplifying speakers as well as multimedia speakers are available. You can also use a parametric equalizer to further refine the sound. RING MODULATOR: This effect allows a radical alienation of audio signals. Similar to the principle of FM radio, the signal is multiplied by a carrier frequency, so that frequency modulation (FM) takes place. This effect is very well suited for vocal alienation (robot voice). LO-FI: For years, digital technique has been striving for high quality, low noise, and brilliant sounds. In the recent past there have been increasing calls for a return to the roots to achieve the warmth of the old analog sounds. The techno/dance group swears by vinyl and some music lovers miss the charm of good old vinyl discs and tape machines. This trend is known as Lo-Fi (instead of Hi-Fi). We have taken this tendency into account and included the relevant effect in the DSP2024P. Your recordings sound like 8-bit audio, complete with noise and humming like the old days! A true drum loop in TR808/TR909 style really gets going when it sounds thick and dusty. 16 2. EFFECTS ALGORITHMS
