The Rotary effect

The .rotary .effect .adds .some .great .sonic .drama .to .the .organs, .but .can .
of .course .be .used .with .any .other .sound .as .well . .The .Electro .4D .rotary .
has .three .available .speeds: .fast, .slow .and .stop . .Stop .does .not .
disengage .the .effect; .it .only .stops .the .rotating .speakers . .

Speed .section .to .the .left .on .the .panel, .to .
cycle .between .the .Fast .and .Slow .speeds .
of .the .rotary . .

The .rotors .will .speed .up .and .slow .down, .
producing .a .nice .swirly .effect .without .the .nega-
tive .side .effects .that .e .g . .alcohol .intake .might .
induce .

3 

Press .the .Stop .mode .button .to .activate .this .one-speed .mode .

The .Stop .Mode .LED .will .be .lit .

4 

Press .repeatedly .on .the .Slow/Stop .button .to .cycle .between .Fast .
and .Stop .

The .rotary .will .now .emulate .the .functionality .of .an .early, .one .speed .
original .rotary .speaker .that .had .only .the .fast .and .the .stopped .rotary .
speed .options .
