Modulation and Pitch Shift 074: Rotary Speaker
829
Mode [Toggle, Moment]
This parameter controls how the modulation source switches
between rotation and stop.
When Mode = Toggl e , the speaker rotates or stops
alternately each time you press the pedal or move the
joystick. Via MIDI, rotation will switch between start and
stop each time the modulation amount exceeds 64.
When Mode = Moment, the speaker rotates by default, and
stops only when you press the pedal or move the joystick.
Via MIDI, modulation values above 64 make the speaker
rotate, and values below 64 make it stop.
Speed Switch [Slow, Fast]
Switches the speaker rotation speed between slow and fast.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects a modulation source for Slow/Fast.
Mode [Toggle, Moment]
This parameter controls how the modulation source switches
the rotation speed between slow and fast.
When Mode = Toggl e , the speed will switch between slow
and fast each time you press the pedal or move the joystick.
Via MIDI, the speed will switch each time the modulation
amount exceeds 64.
When Mode = Moment (short for Momentary), the speed is
usually slow. It becomes fast only when you press the pedal
or move the joystick. Via MIDI, modulation values above 64
set the speed to Fast, and values below 64 set it to Slow.
Manual Speed [Off…Tempo]
This lets you control the rotation speed manually from a
selected modulation source, instead of just switching
between Slow and Fast. If you don’t want to use manual
control, set this to Off.
HORN
Ratio [Stop, 0.50…2.00]
Adjusts the horn rotation speed, which affects the high
frequencies. 1.00 is the default setting. Selecting “Stop” will
stop the rotation.
Acceleration [0…100]
On a real rotary speaker, the rotation accelerates or
decelerates gradually when you switch between slow and
fast, or stop and start. This parameter adjusts how quickly
the Horn speeds up and slows down.
ROTOR
Ratio [Stop, 0.50…2.00]
Adjusts the rotor speed, which affects the low frequencies.
1.00 is the default setting. Selecting “Stop” will stop the
rotation.
Acceleration [0…100]
This parameter adjusts how quickly the Rotor speeds up and
slows down; see “Acceleration,” above.
Horn/Rotor Balance [Rotor, 1…99, Horn]
Sets the level balance between the high-frequency horn and
low-frequency rotor. See “Acceleration” on page 829.
MIC
These settings model a pair of stereo microphones, recording
the rotary speaker.
Distance [0…100]
This adjusts the distance between the rotary speaker and the
microphones. Lower values bring the mics closer to the
speaker.
Spread [0…100]
Sets the angle between the left and right microphones.
Higher settings create a wider stereo effect.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with modulatable
control over wet/dry balance. For more information, see
“OUTPUT” on page 762.
