Mic processing parameters
• Mic Position switch: Choose either the front or rear position for the virtual microphone.
See MainStage Rotor Cabinet effect microphone types.
• When Real Cabinet is chosen in the Type pop-up menu:
• Horn knob: Set the stereo width of the Horn deflector microphone.
• Drum knob: Set the stereo width of the Drum deflector microphone.
• When other cabinets are chosen in the Type pop-up menu:
• Distance knob and field: Determine the distance of the virtual microphones (the
listening position) from the emulated speaker cabinet. Turn to the right for a darker
and less defined sound.
• Angle knob and field: Define the stereo image, by changing the angle of the
simulated microphones between 0 and 180 degrees.
• Balance knob and field: Set the balance between the horn and drum microphone
signals.
MainStage Scanner Vibrato effect
Scanner Vibrato simulates the scanner vibrato section of a Hammond organ. Scanner
Vibrato is based on an analog delay line consisting of several lowpass filters. The delay
line is scanned by a multipole capacitor that has a rotating pickup. It is a unique effect that
cannot be simulated with simple LFOs.
You can choose between three different vibrato and chorus types. The stereo version of
the effect features two additional parameters—Stereo Phase and Rate Right. These set the
modulation speed independently for the left and right channels.
Scanner Vibrato parameters
• Type knob: Choose from three Vibrato positions (V1, V2, and V3) or three Chorus
positions (C1, C2, and C3).
• In each of the Vibrato positions, only the delay line signal is heard. Each vibrato type
has a different intensity.
• In the three Chorus positions (C1, C2, and C3), the signal of the delay line is mixed
with the original signal. Mixing a vibrato signal with an original, statically pitched
signal results in a chorus effect. This organ-style chorus sounds different from the
Chorus plug-in.
• In the C0setting, neither the chorus nor the vibrato is enabled.
