ROTARY SPEAKERS

The next modulation effect available is ROTARY SPKRS.

SPEED 1 This sets one of the rotary speaker speeds. Typically, this will be used to

set the speed of the slow rotary speaker effect but it may be used as the

fast rotary speaker effect if you wish.

SPEED 2 This sets the second of the rotary speaker effect speeds.

ACCELERATION On a ‘proper’ rotary speaker, because of mechanics and inertia, it takes

a certain amount of time for the speaker to change from the slow speed

to the fast speed and vice versa. This parameter allows you to set the

time in seconds it will take to go from SPEED1 to SPEED 2 and vice

versa.

DEPTH/WIDTH This sets the depth (or width) of the rotary speaker effect. High settings

will give a wide left-right sweep, lower settings will give a narrower sweep.

INIT SPEED This parameter sets which of the speeds will be the ‘initial’ speed when

you select this effect. It also allows you to listen to the speed parameter

you may be adjusting. For example, when setting speed 1, select SPEED

1 and when setting speed 2, select SPEED 2. This allows you to set up

rotary speaker effects without having a MIDI controller to hand.

MIDI CONTROL This selects which MIDI controller will trigger the change from SPEED1

to SPEED2 and vice versa. You may select any of the 128 MIDI

controllers.

NOTE: If using MODWHEEL, make sure that this is not used to introduce vibrato to the sound

as well otherwise, as you change the rotary speaker speed, you will also increase/decrease

vibrato which may or may not be desirable.
