Reuse of a Behringer DSP1024P Virtualizer
On my shelf I had a Behringer DSP1024P Virtualizer Pro gathering dust. I never really understood how to use the thing properly, and most of the time it ended up as filler in my effects rack, mainly to make the rack look more impressive. In practice, it was just too bothersome to use.
Because I am going to redo my studio, I noticed something I had never really paid attention to before: the MIDI ports. So I got the slightly crazy idea: what if I could control this thing over MIDI from Bitwig, as if it were a VST plugin?
Of course, it is not necessarily very useful. There are many effect plugins available that are better and easier to use than this old device. But just for fun, I tried it anyway.
And to my surprise, it works. I created a VST plugin to control the device, and I can even connect it inside Bitwig to other effects or keyboard controls.
I have to say: I am having a lot of fun with this ancient machine now.
