Section 7 — Effect Parameters TS-10 Musician’s Manual
6
This parallel effect combines a rotary speaker with a chorus and a reverb. The second sub-page
(not user-programmable) shows how this parallel effect is routed:
• Voices assigned to FX1 (and panned left) are sent to Effect A (ROTOSPKR)
• Voices assigned to FX1 (and panned right) are sent to Effect B (CHORUS)
• Voices assigned to FX2 are sent to the reverb (REV)
For a complete description of the SENDS parameters, refer to the DDL+CHORUS+REV algorithm
found earlier in this section.
STEREO Range: OFF or ON
When set to OFF, the same roto-speaker signal is heard in both channels. When set to ON, the
signal is 180˚ out-of-phase, to create stereo movement.
LEVEL Range: 00 to 99
Adjusts the volume of the rotary speaker signal. A level of 00 will offer no audible signal.
PAN Range: -99 to +99
Determines the location of the rotary speaker signal in the stereo spectrum. A value of -99 is
panned hard left, and +99 is hard right.
AM DEPTH Range: 00 to 99
Controls how much the volume will fade away as the speaker rotates away from the listener.
Higher values will create a deeper rotating speaker effect.
FM DEPTH Range: 00 to 99
Controls the amount of detuning applied to the rotating speaker. This can be used to create a
“doppler” effect.
ROTO SLOW Range: 00 to 99
Determines the rate of the rotary speaker when in the “Slow” setting. ROTO SLOW determines
the manual level for the rotary speaker rate when SPEED= SLOW, or when the selected
modulator is at zero output level. Again, the higher the value, the faster the rate.
FAST Range: 00 to 99
Determines the rate of the rotary speaker when in the “FAST” setting. The higher the value, the
faster the rate.
INERTIA Range: 00 to 99
Determines how long it will take for the rotor effect to speed up and slow down after switching
from fast to slow or vice versa. Adjust this parameter to simulate the effect of the rotary speaker
gradually picking up speed.
SPEED Range: SLOW or FAST
Determines how the rotary speaker will switch between slow and fast speeds. The behavior of
the switch accurately reflects an actual rotary speaker, taking time to speed up or slow down,
based on the value of the INERTIA parameter (see previous description). Any effect modulator
can act as the SPEED controller. How the modulators will switch the rotor speed fall into two
categories:
• WHEEL, PBEND, PEDAL, TIMBR, XCTRL, PRESS, KEYBD, and VELOC — These modulation
sources act like a switch to turn on or off the fast rotor speed. To reverse the polarity of the
switch, set ROTOR SLOW faster than ROTOR FAST.
• KEYDN, PATCH, SUSTN, SOSTU, FX-SW — These modulation sources toggle the rotor speed
between slow and fast. Every time the modulation source moves from zero in a positive
direction, the rotating speaker effect changes speeds from slow to fast or fast to slow.
