RIGHT IN
CONNECTION
Shown below in Fig 1 is a connection example for the RFX147.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE CONNECTING IN MONO, USE THE RIGHT INPUT AND
OUTPUT.
Connect the keyboard or module output(s) to the RFX147 INPUT(S), and the
RFX147 OUTPUT(S) to an amplifier, mixer, snake, etc.
Connect the RP8 footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack via a stereo 1/4" TRS to 1/
4" TRS cable.
If you have the optional RFX402p pedal, connect the CV OUT to the
FOOTPEDAL input via a stereo 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS cable.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet and switch the RFX147
power switch to the ON position.
OPERATION
To begin operating your Rotorhorn, first make sure all proper connections are
made, and the unit is on. We recommend mounting the unit in a secure 19" rack.
Press the effect ON/OFF switch, or press the EFFECT 2 switch on the RP8
footswitch to the OFF or bypassed mode so when you send signal to the unit you
hear an un-effected signal. Adjust the INPUT level control for maximum input
without distortion, adjust the OUTPUT level control to provide the proper amount
of signal for the next device.
Remember that the more INPUT signal the RFX147
has to work with, the less OUTPUT is needed and thus there will be much less
noise created. The bypass level should match the effected level as closely as
possible.
Press in the CHORUS/VIBRATO switch so the RFX147 is in CHORUS mode. This
is the most effective rotating speaker effect. The VIBRATO is a mono effect.
Now engage the effect by pressing the ON/OFF switch or pressing the EFFECT 2
switch again on the RP8 footswitch. You should hear the effect. Use the RP8
EFFECT 1 switch or the SPD SELECT on the front panel of the RFX147 to switch
between the two speeds. This emulates the two speeds of the rotating speakers.
Figure 1 shows sample settings for the Rotorhorn. The DEPTH control is set for a
full sounding effect and the RATE control is set for a fairly quick change from
SPEED 1 to SPEED 2. SPEED 1 is set for a slow modulation and speed 2 is set
for the fastest modulation.
This is just a starting place. Experiment with different settings to acheive a sound
you like.

USING THE FOOT PEDAL - RFX402p
If you have the optional RFX402p, connecting it via the FOOTPEDAL jack on the
RFX147 rear panel will bypass the SPEED 2 control. The RFX402p will then
become the control for SPEED 2.
