[. . . ] 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 ULTRAMIZER PRO will 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 ULTRAMIZER PRO. We are currently developing a software editor which will allow for storing single items of the unit`s internal data on an external medium. Thus, it will be possible to archive ULTRAMIZER 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 software editor are available from our BEHRINGER hotline (tel. +49 (0) 2154-920666), our international distributors and/or our Internet homepage http://www. behringer. de. E 3. APPLICATIONS The BEHRINGER ULTRAMIZER PRO features a high level of flexibility. The following chapter describes some other possible applications for your ULTRAMIZER PRO. 3. 1 Level setting Take care to set levels properly on the ULTRAMIZER 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 ULTRAMIZER 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 ULTRAMIZER PRO to adjust the input signal to about -10 dB. Make sure that the CLIP LED never lights up! 3. 2 Using the ULTRAMIZER PRO in a studio environment With its highly flexible configuration the ULTRAMIZER PRO also delivers good results in a professional studio or home recording environment. When used as a mastering device while recording or copying the ULTRAMIZER PRO should be placed between source and recorder as shown in fig 3. 1. You can realize any application ranging from slight processing to the total manipulation of music signals. For example, you can use the ULTRAMIZER PRO as a Loudness Maximizer, Limiter and the Denoiser system at the same time when copying analog tapes. 3. APPLICATIONS 17 3. 2. 1 The ULTRAMIZER PRO in analog recording In the recording and duplication field the goal should always be to achieve an optimum recording level onto the recording media. Too low or too high recording levels lead to side effects such as noise, distortion etc. In mastering and multitrack recording, as well as in duplication, one should always take care to utilize the full dynamic range of the tape recorder, DAT recorder etc. Principally, it is possible to control the recording level by riding faders, which means with low level signals, the gain is increased, whereas the amplitude of high level signal is reduced.
