Insert Effect Parameters

ENSONIQ ASR-X Pro UserÕs Guide

Hi Inertia

100ms to 10.0s

Determines how long it will take for the horn portion of

the rotor effect to speed up to the fast setting after

switching from slow or vice versa. Adjust this parameter

to simulate the effect of the rotary speaker gradually

picking up speed.

Hi Slow

0.0Hz to 10.0Hz

Sets the speed of the horn rotor simulator when

Speed=Slow.
A real organ speaker cabinet has two sets of speakers

(horns & woofer). This parameter is used to set the

hornÕs rate.

Hi Fast

0.0Hz to 10.0Hz

Sets the speed of the horn rotor simulator when

Speed=Fast.

Hi FM Min

0 to 100

Sets the amount of detuning for the horn rotor simulator

when the Speed parameter is set to ÒSlow.Ó

Hi FM Max

0 to 100

Sets the amount of detuning for the horn rotor

simulator when the Speed parameter is set to ÒFast.Ó

TheHi FM Min and Hi FM Max parameters can create

ÒDopplerÓ effect.

Hi AM Min

0 to 100

Sets the amount that the horn rotor simulator volume

will change as the speaker rotates when the Speed

parameter is set to ÒSlow.Ó

Hi AM Max

0 to 100

Sets the amount that the horn rotor simulator volume

will change as the speaker rotates when the Speed

parameter is set to ÒFast.Ó Broader ranges between Hi

AM Max and Hi AM Min will create a deeper rotating

speaker effect.

Lo Inertia

100ms to 10.0s

Determines how long it will take for the woofer

simulator rotor Speed effect to slow down to the low

setting after switching from Fast or vice versa. Adjust

this parameter to simulate the effect of the rotary

speaker gradually slowing down.

Lo Slow

0.0Hz to 10.0Hz

Sets the speed of the bass wooferÕs rotor simulator when

Speed=Slow.
A real organ speaker cabinet has two sets of speakers

(horns & woofer). This parameter is used to set the

wooferÕs rate.

Lo Fast

0.0Hz to 10.0Hz

Sets the speed of the bass wooferÕs rotor simulator when

Speed=Fast.

Lo FM Min

0 to 100

Sets the amount of detuning for the woofer rotor

simulator when the Speed parameter is set to ÒSlow.Ó

Lo FM Max

0 to 100

Sets the amount of detuning for the woofer rotor

simulator when the Speed parameter is set to ÒFast.Ó

The Lo FM Min and Lo FM Max parameters can create a

ÒDopplerÓ effect.

Lo AM Min

0 to 100

Sets the amount that the volume of the woofer rotor

simulator will change as the speaker rotates when the

Speed parameter is set to ÒSlow.Ó

Lo AM Max

0 to 100

Sets the amount that the volume of the woofer rotor

simulator will change as the speaker rotates when the

Speed parameter is set to ÒFast.Ó Broader ranges

between these two parameters will create a deeper

rotating speaker effect.
