Depending on the MIDI controller selected in the
field, 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, pressure, breath, footpedal, etc.), whilst
TOGGLE is recommended for ‘switch action’ controllers
(footswitch type controllers such as sustain, etc.).
This parameter is really only of any use when in MULTI
mode. Because several programs may be sharing the
same effect, you must designate which MIDI channel will
initiate the change from SPEED1 to SPEED2. If the effect
is to be used in a MULTI, select the channel of the
controller that will trigger the change in speed (for use in
SINGLE mode, select the same MIDI channel as the
program’s MIDI channel).
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
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
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 FX OUTPUT pages to turn
off the straight signal. Preset rotary speaker effects have DIRECT SIGNAL set to OFF.
