20: SLICER
By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect turns a
conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as a
backing phrase. This is especially effective when applied to sustain-
type sounds.

Attack # 0–127 Speed at which the level changes be-
tween steps
Input Sync OFF, ON Specifies whether an input note will

(OFF)
Input Sync 0–127 Volume at which an input note will be
Threshold detected
Mode LEGATO, Sets the manner in which the volume
SLASH changes as one step progresses to the
next.
Shuffle # 0–127 Timing of volume changes in levels for
even-numbered steps (step 2, step 4, step
6...).

21: ROTARY
The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speakers often
used with the electric organs of the past. Since the movement of the
high range and low range rotors can be set independently, the
unique type of modulation characteristic of these speakers can be
simulated quite closely. This effect is most suitable for electric organ
Patches.

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 follow-
ing step is the same as the preceding
step.
The higher the value, the later the beat
progresses.

Description
Simultaneously switch the rota-
tional speed of the low frequency
rotor and high frequency rotor.
SLOW: Slows down the rota-
tion to the Slow Rate.
FAST: Speeds up the rotation
to the Fast Rate.

frequency rotor
Fast speed (FAST) of the low fre-
quency rotor

22: VK ROTARY
This type provides modified response for the rotary speaker, with
the low end boosted further.
This effect features the same specifications as the VK-7's built-in
rotary speaker.

Adjusts the time it takes the low
frequency rotor to reach the new-
ly selected speed when switch-
ing from fast to slow (or slow to
fast) speed. Lower values will re-
quire longer times.

tor

Description
Rotational speed of the rotat-
ing speaker
Switches the rotation of the
rotary speaker.
When this is turned on, the
rotation will gradually
stop. When it is turned off,
the rotation will gradually
resume.
Low-speed rotation speed of
the woofer
High-speed rotation speed of
the woofer
Adjusts the rate at which the
woofer rotation speeds up
when the rotation is switched
from Slow to Fast.
Adjusts the rate at which the
woofer rotation speeds up
when the rotation is switched
