Fig. 3.3: Connecting the MODULIZERPRO to a guitar amp (send/return-mono)

The following hints illustrate the MODULIZERPROs versatility if used with a guitar amp. Basically, the

MODULIZERPRO should be inserted between the preamp and the power stage. Almost all guitar amps have

an insert or effect loop to send the preamp signal of the guitar amp to the audio inputs of the MODULIZERPRO.

The MODULIZERPRO processes the preamp signal and sends it back via the guitar amps return bus (power

amp in), from where it is routed to the power stage. When you use a stereo rack system for amplification, you

can wire the MODULIZERPRO in stereo. Connect the preamp to the audio inputs of the MODULIZERPRO,

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

MODULIZERPRO is set to Mix-Intern mode. In this mode you can control the effect intensity

applied to the guitar signal. However, if your amp features a parallel effect loop which allows

for adding the effect-signal portion (similar to an aux path in a mixing console), we recom-

mend that you use the MODULIZERPROs Mix-Extern mode. In this case, the effect intensity

present at the output of the MODULIZERPRO is 100%, and you can use the effect loop to

determine the amount of effect added to the guitar signal.

Instrumentalists can benefit from a variety of advantages offered by the MODULIZERPRO's MIDI implementa-

tion. For example, you can use a MIDI footswitch board to send program change commands via MIDI. Connect

the MIDI OUT jack of your MIDI board to the MIDI IN jack on the MODULIZERPRO. If the MODULIZERPRO

fails to respond to the program change commands sent from the MIDI board, check the MIDI channel settings.

Consult the users manual of your MIDI board to find out on which channels program change commands are

transmitted (usually in Omni mode). Set the MIDI channels appropriately in MIDI mode (see 5.3) and enable

the MODULIZERPRO to receive program change commands.

If your MIDI board features a controller or allows you to connect controller pedals, you can even change

parameter settings via MIDI while playing. For instance, you can freely change the effect intensity from

0-100% while playing (Contr. 27, Value 0-100). Set the controller for Mix-Intern mode (Contr. 30, Value 0) so

that it can be used to increase the effect intensity. In this way, guitar solos can be enhanced with chorus and

delay effects, while the effect intensity is gradually reduced when playing rhythm. You can even control the

function of the IN/OUT switch to bypass the MODULIZERPRO when an unprocessed signal is needed. Basi-

cally, all MIDI devices that are capable of transmitting MIDI controller commands, e.g. keyboards/sequencers,

will allow for using these features.

The MODULIZERPRO may also be inserted between the outputs of a keyboard and the inputs of a mixing

console. If required, adapt the levels with the Operating Level switch.

3.5 Using the MODULIZERPRO in a MIDI system

With its built-in MIDI interface the MODULIZERPRO can be integrated into any MIDI system, where it trans-

mits and receives both program change and controller change information to perform program changes via MIDI
