5.3 ROTARY
66
The
Time
parameter sets the time interval between one repetition and the next, while
Reg
(Regeneration) sets the amount of signal which will be reprocessed with the Delay
algorithm, and thus the time after which the repetitions die away.
The OB5’s ROTARY algorithm simulates the archetypal effect produced by a rotary tone
cabinet connected to the organ. This system became popular with the advent of the
electromagnetic organ and consisted of two sections, one for the treble tones and another
for the bass tones, which were able to rotate at different speeds. The internal algorithm of
the OB5 provides a faithful reproduction of the relative sounds.
N.B.:
connecting a remote rotary tone cabinet to the rear [ROTARY TONE CABINET] jack automatically
disables the internal ROTARY EFFECT.
You can use the [ROTARY ON/OFF] switch on the panel on the left of the manuals to
activate or deactivate the Rotary effect, while the [ROTARY SLOW/FAST] allows you to
select the rotation speed (fast/slow) of the simulated rotary tone cabinet.
The display parameters, on the other hand, enable you to select the type of tone cabinet
and to adjust the two rotation speeds and the transitions, i.e. the times for switching from
high to low speed and vice-versa.
After displaying the main page of the
EFFECT
menu by pressing the [EFFECTS] or
[ENTER] buttons, select the
[Rotary]
field and the display will show:
The
Rotary
parameter can be used to set up the link between the effect of the Rotary
and Reverb effects. Refer to the diagram with regard to the two linkage modes:
