Creating Organ Sounds

You can add the modulating sound that is typical of an organ with a

rotary speaker connected.

fig.pnl-rot.eps

The most typical rotary speaker unit contained a high-frequency

speaker (tweeter) and a low-frequency speaker (woofer), each of

which rotated at a different speed. The VR-700 simulates the effect

produced by a rotary speaker.

You can use the buttons in the rotary sound section to control the

operation of the rotary speaker.

You can also use the bender lever (p. 14) or foot pedal to

control the operation of the [SLOW/FAST] button and [BRAKE]

button (p. 55).

Adding Rotary Speaker Modulation

Button

Description

[ON] button

Turns on the rotary speaker effect.

[SLOW/FAST]
button

Switches the rotational speed of the
rotary speaker.
Press the [SLOW/FAST] button to toggle
between FAST and SLOW.
FAST is selected when the indicator is
blinking rapidly, and SLOW is selected
when the indicator is blinking slowly.

[BRAKE] button

When you turn this on (lit), the rotational
speed of the speaker will slow down and
eventually stop completely.

* The function mode setting “Rotary

Brake Position” lets you specify
whether the speaker will come to rest
at a random angle or at the same angle
each time when the rotation is stopped
completely (p. 52).

Detailed settings for the rotary speaker

In Function mode you can make detailed settings for the rotary

speaker (p. 53).

Speaker volume

You can specify the volumes of the tweeter and the woofer.

• Volume of the tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Level

• Volume of the woofer:

Rotary Woofer Level

Rotational speed switching time

You can specify whether the rotational speed will change

slowly or quickly.

The higher the value, the faster the change.

Changing from SLOW to FAST

• Woofer:

Rotary Woofer Rise Time

• Tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Rise Time

Changing from FAST to SLOW

• Woofer:

Rotary Woofer Rise Time

• Tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Rise Time

Spread

You can specify the amount by which the sound will appear to

be spread to left and right by the rotation of the speaker.

• Woofer:

Rotary Woofer Spread

• Tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Spread

Rotational speed

You can specify the speeds of the SLOW and the FAST rotation.

SLOW rotational speed

• Woofer:

Rotary Woofer Slow Speed

• Tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Slow Speed

FAST rotational speed

• Woofer:

Rotary Woofer Fast Speed

• Tweeter:

Rotary Tweeter Fast Speed

Distance between speaker and microphone

The distance between the speaker and the microphone will

affect the depth of the modulation.

• Rotary Mic Distance

Inconsistency of the speaker’s rotation

Depending on the condition of the rotary speaker, the

speaker’s rotation might not be perfectly consistent, and this

can create distinctive sounds.

• Rotary Speed Randomize
