Funny you should mention the Behringer stuff. A local store has the
Modulizer and Virtualizer for about $120 each. I went to the web page, was
impressed, and ran off to get a Modulizer on Saturday. This unit has a lot
going for it -- fat filter, resonator, 3D effects, etc. As I was paying for
it, I asked about its reverbs. (The stupids did not have one set up to
demo.) It has NO reverbs! Ok, fine, I say, give me the Virtualizer (more
of a standard reverb unit). Cracked the manual and looked up MIDI
implementation. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE VELOCITY OR AFTERTOUCH! What does it
recognize? Only controllers 20 - 30, and even these have limited real-time
effectiveness on the signal processing. Boom - back in the box, back to the
store. I'm picking up a good old Quadraverb +, which although doesn't quite
shine, you can control many features with any continuos controller you want,
including aftertouch, pitch bend, velocity, even note #.
