CONTROL MODE Depending on the MIDI controller selected in the MIDI CONTROL
parameter, you may select whether crossing a threshold level of 64 that
will cause the speed change or a switch action that will cause the speed
change.
When LEVEL is selected, once the controller goes past a level of 64, the
speed will change. When TOGGLE is selected, the selected controller
will switch between speed 1 and speed 2 and vice versa. Confused?
Read on!
Let’s take a practical example. Let us imagine that you are using the
modwheel (controller #1 - the default) to switch between speed 1 and
speed 2. With LEVEL selected, pushing the modwheel up will cause the
controller to go over the 64 threshold (i.e. as it moves from 0-127) and
the rotary speaker effect will change from speed 1 to speed 2 (i.e. typically,
get faster). Bringing it back down again will once again go over the 64
threshold (i.e. as it travels from 127-0) causing the rotary speaker effect
to go from speed 2 to speed 1 (i.e. typically, get slower). However, with
TOGGLE selected, pushing it up will cause it to change from speed 1 to
speed 2 but you must bring the modwheel down again and push it back
up to go from speed 2 to speed 1.
LEVEL is recommended for use with continuous controllers (modwheel,
aftertouch, breath, foot pedal, etc.), whilst TOGGLE is recommended
for ‘switch action’ controllers (footswitch type controllers such as sustain,
etc.).
MIDI CHANNEL Because several parts may be sharing the same effect, you must
designate which MIDI channel will initiate the change from SPEED1 to
SPEED2.
NOTE 1: In practice, it is likely that only one sound will be routed to a multi-effects channel
producing a rotary speaker effect (typically, an organ sound) in a multi. In this case, set the
MIDI CHANNEL parameter to the same channel as the part the organ sound (or whatever) is
in. For example, if the organ sound is in PART 5 on MIDI channel 5, set 5 in the MIDI CHANNEL
field shown here.
Of course, more than one part may be routed to a multi-effects channel producing a rotary
speaker effect but one channel must be designated to initiate the change from SPEED1 to
SPEED2. Select as appropriate.
NOTE 2: Please note that because the stereo mod section passes through the echo section,
any stereo mod effects you create will be ‘monofied’ when mono delay effects are selected. As
a result, you cannot effectively use the rotary speaker effects with mono echo.
NOTE 3: You will find that the rotary speaker effect is best created with no ‘straight’ signal. You
should use the DIRECT SIGNAL: ON/OFF function in the OUTPUT MIX page to turn off the
straight signal. Preset rotary speaker effects have DIRECT SIGNAL set to OFF.
TIP: You may find the sound of a rotary speaker is enhanced using just a hint of overdrive in
the DISTORTION section to re-create the overdrive effect commonly found on rock organ
sounds.
