Modifying the Organ Sound
20
Using the Rotary Eect
This eect adds modulation to the sound as if you were using a
rotary speaker.
1. Press the ROTARY SOUND [ON/OFF] button to make it
light.
The rotary eect will be added to the sound.
2. Press the ROTARY SOUND [FAST/SLOW] button to switch it
between lit/unlit.
ROTARY SOUND
[FAST/SLOW] button
Explanation
Lit (Fast)
Produces the eect of making the rotary
speaker spin rapidly.
Unlit (Slow)
Produces the eect of making the rotary
speaker spin slowly.
When you switch the rotary eect from “Fast” to “Slow,” the
modulation will gradually slow down. When you switch it from
“Slow” to “Fast,” the modulation will gradually speed up.
MEMO
• You can make separate settings for the tweeter and the woofer
to specify their rotation speeds at the fast and slow settings, as
well as the time it will take for the tweeter and woofer to change
their speed when you switch the rotary eect (ROTARY: p. 46).
• If you’re playing only organ sounds, you can use the pitch bend/
modulation lever to control the rotary eect. Move the lever
away from yourself to turn the rotary eect on/o or apply the
brake; move the lever to left or right to switch between fast/
slow speeds. For more about the rotary eect controlled by the
modulation lever, refer to “Changing the Pitch/Applying Vibrato
(Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever)” (p. 26).
• You can also use a pedal switch (DP series; sold separately), an
expression pedal (EV series; sold separately), the footswitch of a
pedal keyboard (PK-9; sold separately), or the D-BEAM controller
to switch between fast and slow (p. 25, p. 48, p. 50).
Using Twin Rotary
By using the multi-eect “TWIN ROTARY” in conjunction with
the rotary eect, you can obtain a more powerful and three-
dimensional modulation eect as though you were using two
rotary speaker units.
1. Press the MODE [ORGAN] button.
2. Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to select “MFX.”
3. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select “TWIN ROTARY.”
4. Press the ROTARY SOUND [ON/OFF] button to make it
light.
5. Turn the [MFX] knob to adjust the depth of the twin rotary
eect.
As you turn the knob toward the right, the sound of the two rotary
speakers will be mixed, producing a complex modulation eect.
MEMO
The rotational speed of the twin rotary eect will follow the
setting of the ROTARY SOUND [FAST/SLOW] button.
