Rotary
This models a stereo rotary speaker. When you choose the Slow or Fast speed,
it will take a certain amount of time for the specified speed to be reached –
just like on an actual rotary speaker. This is because it takes several seconds
for the motor that creates the rotation to accelerate or decelerate.
The selected speaker type can have a significant effect on the overall tone –
something particularly noticeable at fast rotary speeds. Natural is based on
new analysis of a classic vintage rotary speaker. Resonant has more mid-fre-
quency bite than Natural, similar to a popular rotary speaker effects ped-
al. Bright is based on Natural, but with less high-end roll-off for a brighter
sound. Original is the same as the original KORG CX-3 speaker simulator.
The +Direct versions add a bit of the direct signal mixed back in, resulting in
greater extension of both high and low frequencies.
HINT: Some speaker types have sharp resonances in their frequency responses,
which may cause higher volumes with specific sounds and notes. If the volume is
already high, this can cause clipping at the outputs. If this happens, simply turn down
the amp level and/or the program volume.
Parameters Values Notes
Rotor/Horn
Balance
Rotor, 1…99, Horn
Adjusts the balance between the low-fre-
quency rotor and the high-frequency horn.
Amp Type Type 1, Type 2 Type of amp model. This should usually be
the same as the Organ amp, but you are
free to experiment by choosing a different
amp type here.
Speaker Type Natural, Natural+Direct,
Resonance,
Resonance+Direct, Bright,
Bright+Direct, Original
This selects the model used for the speak-
er simulator. The +Direct versions add a
bit of the direct signal.
Mode Rotate, Stop This lets you start or stop the motion of
the rotary speaker. Even when stopped,
the speaker will still affect the timbre.
Speed Slow, Fast Switches the speaker rotation speed be-
tween slow and fast.
Mix 0…100 Adjusts the mix between the direct signal
and the rotary speaker.
NOTE: When this effect is selected, you can control the rotary slow/fast switch with
a footswitch connected to the PEDAL 1 jack.
