This modulation effect simulates the classic effect of a rotating speaker.
A rotary speaker cabinet features speakers rotating at variable speeds to produce a swirling chorus effect, commonly used with organs.
Speed settings
- Speed Mod Control (MIDI)
-
This pop-up menu allows you to select the MIDI controller that controls the rotary speed. If you do not want to use MIDI realtime control, set this to Automation. If you select PitchBend as MIDI controller, the speed changes with an up or down flick of the bender. If other MIDI controllers are used, the speed changes at MIDI value 64.
- Speed selector (stop/slow/fast)
-
Allows you to control the speed of the rotary speaker.
- Speed Mod
-
If the Set Speed Change Mode setting is set to the right, this control allows you to modulate the rotary speed.
- Set Speed Change Mode
-
If this is set to the left, the speed selector settings are taken into account. If this is set to the right, you can modulate the speed with the Speed Mod control and/or with a MIDI controller that you can select on the Speed Mod Control (MIDI) pop-up menu.
