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 MODULIZER PRO 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 MODULIZER PRO. We are cur-
rently developing a software editor which will allow for storing single items of the MODULIZER PRO's internal
data on an external medium, by using controller commands. Thus, it will be possible to archive MODULIZER PRO
settings and presets on a computer, sequencer or MIDI data recorder. Both MIDI Control Change and MIDI
Program Change commands will be transmitted when you edit or recall filter settings. Detailed information on
this future control are available from our BEHRINGER hotline (+49(0)2154-920666), our international distribu-
tors and/or our Internet homepage http://www.behringer.de.
2.5.1 “Modulation”-controller
It is even possible to modulate some of the LFO effects manually or via MIDI. You can access the modulation
value pressing EDIT A and EDIT C at the same time while LFO speed is set to zero. The modulation status can
now be controlled with the jog wheel; i.e. you can set and change the delay used by the MODULIZER PRO
manually to create a Doppler effect. If you try to change the modulation parameter while the LFO speed is not
zero the display will show a dot in the lower right corner signaling that no changes can be made.
+
With this function you can also determine the starting point for a modulation effect. When the
LFO is started again it begins on the value set by the jog wheel.
You can also control the modulation via MIDI by a sequencer for instance. To control it via MIDI you can use
controller # 56. If control send is activated, the MODULIZER PRO sends the actual LFO state, again using
controller # 56. As with manual control, the MODULIZER PRO will only accept controller values if the LFO
speed is set to zero. This applies to all effect algorithms in which a LFO is used, except the Ultra Chorus.
3. APPLICATIONS
The BEHRINGER MODULIZER PRO is a highly flexible device that can be used for a wide variety of applica-
tions. Prior to a presentation of the MODULIZER PRO’s many uses, please note the following remarks on how
to set signal levels correctly.
3.1 Level setting
Take care to set levels properly on the MODULIZER PRO! Low levels deteriorate the dynamics of the music
signal, which results in a poor, weak and noisy sound. On the other hand, excess levels overdriving the
converters in the MODULIZER PRO should also be avoided. Digital distortion is (unlike its analog counterpart)
very unpleasant to hear as it does not occur gradually but abruptly.
Use the input level meter of the MODULIZER PRO to adjust the input signal to about -10 dB. Make sure that
the CLIP LEDs never light up!
3.2 Using the MODULIZER PRO in the aux bus
By using the MODULIZER PRO in an aux bus of your mixing console you can feed the channel signals of one,
several or even all console channels into the MODULIZER PRO, i.e. for each channel you can use the aux
busses to separately determine the reverb levels of, for instance, various drum sounds: while lots of reverb is
applied to the snare drum, the effect intensity could be reduced in the channels assigned to the tom-toms. To
use the MODULIZER PRO in the aux bus, the unit must be wired as follows:
