1. INTRODUCTION

With the BEHRINGER MODULIZERPRO you have acquired an extremely powerful and versatile multi-effects

processor, which besides first-class modulation effects is equipped with many other algorithms. Despite the

large number of effects, variations, and editable parameters, the DSP1200P is easily and intuitively operated

owing to its logically structured layout.

Filters have been enjoying a renaissance during the past few years and not only in dance music. We have

implemented a variety of resonant filter types in the MODULIZERPRO. For example, you can use amplitude-

controlled and LFO filters giving your sounds an interesting color. Since each filter parameter is MIDI-control-

lable in manual mode, you can even record song-related filter changes in a sequencer program and play them

back later on. So, even timing-based filter settings can be achieved.

So-called lo-fi effects simulating, for example click sounds produced by vinyl records or the noise of older tape

recordings, are particularly suitable for techno, house and hip-hop productions. »Space« effects can be pro-

duced with the RingModulator which also doubles as a separate sound generator.

For guitars, we combined specific distortion and preamp variants with speaker simulations that enable you to

create an excellent sound even without actually using a speaker cabinet during the recording session. But the

MODULIZERPRO also functions as a multi-effect processor for guitar combo or rack-mount amps producing,

for example phaser and various wah-wah and auto-wah effects.

To give you direct access to all modifiable parameters, the MODULIZERPRO has four edit control elements

next to the VARIATION button that allow for editing these parameters directly and intuitively. Having selected

a parameter you can change its value with the jog wheel. Of course, all effect parameters are MIDI-controllable

in real time.

Additionally, the DSP1200P includes such hip algorithms as lo-fi, tube distortion and ring modulation. Please

read this manual carefully to be able to fully exploit the effects and features of the innovative BEHRINGER

effect algorithms implemented in the MODULIZER PRO.

+ The MODULIZERPRO can distort signals to a great extent. When you are scrolling through the

presets, you may find programs with considerably differing output levels. Always reduce the

volume of subsequent devices (e.g. amps, speakers, etc.) to a minimum level to protect these

devices against possible damage.

Despite the enormous and compute-intensive work to be done in the DSP1200P by a dual-engine 24-bit

processor, the MODULIZER PRO can be operated easily and conveniently. All parameter changes can be

made with the jog wheel (rotary control). 100 memory locations are available.

A very special feature are the high-low filters which can be edited freely. They are available for direct selection

in each preset. Use the filters to adapt the sound of your presets to the room acoustics, which is particularly

useful in live situations when every second counts.

+ The following operational manual will introduce you to the BEHRINGER MODULIZERPRO and

its various functions. After reading the manual carefully, make sure it is always on hand for

future reference.

1.1 The design concept

The MODULIZERPRO is a mighty tool for the processing of audio signals. You can use it like a real musical

instrument and owing to the direct access to all major parameters, which are also controllable via MIDI, your

imagination is the only limit. We recommend that you read the descriptions of all effects thoroughly, so that

you can make efficient use of the MODULIZERPROs vast sound potential. Or to use a wise old saying from

the studio scene: The best device is only as good as the person using it!

With its clearly structured user interface the DSP1200P invites you to try and experiment with the preset

effects programs which we programmed very carefully and right down to the last detail. Select them simply by

rotating the encoder (jog wheel). Once selected, a preset is activated only after a pause of two seconds (i.e.

when the point in the display disappears).

+ Presets selected via MIDI, however, are activated without delay!

The MODULIZER PRO not only boasts a logic and straightforward user interface, its technical features too are

quite impressive. Pro-level signal processing is ensured by the following components:
