Connecting the VK-8 to External Devices
Connecting a Rotary
Speaker
In addition to providing a rotary speaker effect, the VK-8 also
allows you to connect an actual rotary speaker. Connect your
rotary speaker to the ROTARY TONE CABINET connector
located on the rear panel.
fig.03-05
NOTE
Connecting a speaker which does not meet the following
specifications may cause malfunctions.
The pinout for the ROTARY TONE CABINET connector
is as follows:
fig.03-06
* Pin Nos. 1 and 2 are the output of the organ voice and OTHER
TONES.
* Pin Nos. 6, 7, and 8 are the open collector output, and are at a nominal
voltage of 5–30 V DC, and nominal loaded current of 50 mA
maximum.
* Pin no. 11 detects the connection. If the nominal input voltage is
outside the acceptable range (18–30 V DC), the connection will not
operate correctly.
• The volume of the external speaker can be adjusted by
the [MASTER VOLUME] knob.
• ROTARY [SLOW/FAST] button will switch the
rotational speed of the connected rotary speaker.
• ROTARY [BRAKE] button will temporarily stop the
rotation of the connected speaker. To resume rotation,
press ROTARY [BRAKE] button again, or press
ROTARY [SLOW/FAST] button.
NOTE
The rotary speaker effect of the organ voice will also be applied
to the audio signal that is output from the ROTARY TONE
CABINET connector. To prevent the rotary speaker effect from
being applied to the audio signal that is output from the
ROTARY TONE CABINET connector, press the ROTARY [ON]
button to make it go dark (off).
If you do not want Other Tones to be output from the
ROTARY TONE CABINET connector, turn the [OTHER
TONES LEVEL] knob all the way toward the left to set
the Other Tones volume to zero. Alternatively, you can
select a preset that does not include OTHER TONES.
