* What is the leading bass function?
The function that sounds the lowest note of a fingered chord

is turned on, the Bass Tone changes when chord inversions
are used. Usually the tonic of the chord you play sounds as
the bass tone.
* What is the rotary effect?
This adds a sort of spinning effect to the organ sound, similar
to the sound when a rotary speaker is used.
Changing the speed increases or decreases the speed of this
spinning effect.
