Rotary switch is used for selecting one of the six effects vibrato V1, V2, V3 or chorus C1, C2, C3. The two  
push-buttons Vib/Chorus Upper and Lower are used to switch the effect on/off, either for the upper or lower 
manual. Ex-factory the Vib/Chorus parameters are set according to a real vintage organ. All Vib/Chorus 
parameters are programmable in the Menu/Display panel (see page 20).

Rotary START/STOPP (Break)            Rotary SLOW/FAST 

 
The X3 features a fully programmable rotary effect of the highest quality. It faithfully replicates the sound of a 
rotary speaker cabinet including tube saturation (Tube Drive).  
To activate the included rotary speaker cabinet simulation the MAIN-OUT audio jacks must be routed to [L+R]. 
Please check the Menu/Display panel instruction on page 20.  
Use the START/STOP button to switch on the internal rotary effect. Use the red SLOW/FAST button to switch 
between slow and fast rotary speed (Chorale and Tremolo). The LED in the START/STOP button indicates the 
rotary speed. 
The rotary effect is fully programmable with the Menu/Display panel (see page 20). Many parameters like 
speed, acceleration, horn/bass balance and distance of microphone placement

 

can be adjusted to taste.
