EXi: CX-3 Tonewheel Organ
Wet/Dry
This adjusts the balance between the dry signal coming into
the Rotary Speaker and the output of the effect.
The "dry" signal is either the pre-crossover or post-crossover
input, as selected by the Rotary Speaker Off Output
parameter; for more information, see "Rotary Speaker Off
Output" on page 199.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to modulate the Wet/Dry mix.
For a list of AMS sources, see "Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List" on page 901.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the Wet/Dry AMS
modulation.
7–2b: Mode/Speed
Mode
Mode Switch
This lets you stop the motion of the Rotary Speaker. Even
when stopped, the speaker will still affect the timbre.
The horn and rotor can each take different amounts of time
to start and stop their rotation. For more information, see "7–
2c: Horn" on page 200 and "7–2d: Rotor" on page 201.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to start and stop the Rotary
Speaker.
AMS Mode
This determines the behavior of the Mode switch AMS. For
details, see "AMS Mode" on page 189.
Speed
Speed SW
The Rotary Speaker has two basic speeds, and this allows
you to switch between the two. You can set the speeds of the
horn and rotor sections separately for both the Fast and Slow
settings, as well as the time that it takes them to speed up and
slow down. For more information, see "7–2c: Horn" on
page 200 and "7–2d: Rotor" on page 201.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to switch between the Slow and
Fast speeds.
We've added a special trick for controlling Rotary Speed
with JS X (left-to-right movement, which normally controls
pitch bend). When Speed SW AMS is set to JS X, the
joystick works like the speaker speed switch on a vintage
organ. Move it to the left for Chorale (slow) and to the right
for Tremolo (fast).
Note that this applies only when JS X is selected directly as
the AMS source. If it is routed through an AMS Mixer, for
instance, it is handled as if it were a normal modulation
source.
AMS Mode
This determines the behavior of the Speed switch AMS. For
details, see "AMS Mode" on page 189.

Fast Overrides Stop
When this is enabled, switching the Speed to Fast via AMS
will always push the Rotary Speaker into Fast mode - even if
it had previously been stopped. Switching the Speed back to
Slow will stop it again.
When Fast Overrides Stop is disabled, if the speaker is
stopped, it will stay stopped regardless of Speed AMS.
7–2c: Horn
The Horn carries the high frequencies of the Rotary Speaker.
You can independently control the Slow and Fast speeds of
the horn, as well as the time it takes to speed up or slow
down. You also have separate control over the amount of
time that the horn takes to stop rotating entirely, and the time
that it takes to resume rotation after being stopped.
Fast Speed
This specifies the speed of the Horn when the Speed Switch
is set to Fast.
Slow Speed
This specifies the speed of the Horn when the Speed Switch
is set to Slow.
Acceleration
This sets how long it takes the Horn to change from the Slow
speed to the Fast speed.
Deceleration
This sets how long it takes the Horn to change from the Fast
speed to the Slow speed.
Start Acceleration
This sets how long it takes the Horn to come up to speed
after the Mode Switch has changed from Stop to Rotate.
Stop Deceleration
This sets how long it takes the horn to come to rest after the
Mode Switch has changed from Rotate to Stop.
Mic Distance
The Rotary Speaker model includes two pairs of stereo mics
- one pair for the Horn, and the other for the Rotor. This
parameter adjusts the distance between the Horn and its
microphones. Lower values bring the mics closer to the
speaker.
Mic Spread
This adjusts the distance between the two Horn
microphones, to widen the stereo field. Higher values
increase the stereo effect.
Stop Phase [degrees]
When the Mode Switch is set to Stop, the Horn gradually
comes to rest pointing one way or another. This allows you
to control where it will stop.
Free lets it come to rest naturally, at a more or less random
spot. The other settings, –180 to +180, let you force it to land
in a specific position.
The speaker position has a dramatic effect on the tone, so
specifying a fixed position allows you to achieve consistent
timbral results.
