Parameter

Explanation
Rate
0.05–10.00
[Hz]
Rate at which the 16-step sequence will cycle
Rate Note
(P.167)
Attack
0–127
Speed at which the level changes between steps
In Sync Sw
OFF, ON
Specifies whether an input note will cause the sequence to resume from the first step of the
sequence (ON) or not (OFF)
InSyncThres
0–127
Volume at which an input note will be detected
Mode
LEGATO,
SLASH
Sets the manner in which the volume changes as one step progresses to the next.
LEGATO: The change in volume from one step’s level to the next remains unaltered. If the level of a
following step is the same as the one preceding it, there is no change in volume.
SLASH: The level is momentarily set to 0 before progressing to the level of the next step.
This change in volume occurs even if the level of the following step is the same as the preceding
step.
Shuffle
0–127
Timing of volume changes in levels for even-numbered steps (step 2, step 4, step 6...).
The higher the value, the later the beat progresses.
Level
0–127
Output Level
Rotary
This simulates a classic rotary speaker of the past.
Since the operation of the high-frequency and low-frequency rotors can be specified independently, the distinctive modulation
can be reproduced realistically. This is most effective on organ patches.

Explanation
Speed
SLOW,
FAST
Simultaneously switch the rotational speed of the low frequency rotor and high frequency rotor.
SLOW: Slows down the rotation to the Slow Rate.
FAST: Speeds up the rotation to the Fast Rate.
Wf Slow
0.05–10.00
[Hz]
Slow speed (SLOW) of the low frequency rotor
Wf Fast
0.05–10.00
[Hz]
Fast speed (FAST) of the low frequency rotor
Wf Accel
0–15
Adjusts the time it takes the low frequency rotor to reach the newly selected speed when switching
from fast to slow (or slow to fast) speed. Lower values will require longer times.
Wf Level
0–127
Volume of the low frequency rotor
Tw Slow
0.05–10.00
[Hz]
Settings of the high frequency rotor
The parameters are the same as for the low frequency rotor.
Tw Fast
0.05–10.00
[Hz]
Tw Accel
0–15
Tw Level
0–127
Separation
0–127
Spatial dispersion of the sound
Level
0–127
