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 #.
