To switch the SH-4d rotary speaker sim between Slow and Fast, adjust the "Speed" parameter to SLOW or FAST. To turn the rotary speaker rotation on or off, use the "Brake" parameter: set it to ON to gradually stop rotation, or OFF to gradually resume it.

An Overview of the SH-4d An Overview of the SH-4d The SH-4d is a tabletop synthesizer that lets you switch between a variety of oscillator models to intuitively create a wide range of sounds. A variety of options for creating sounds The new interpretive oscillator model featured on this unit lets you create a wide array of sounds, from classic synthesizers to modern wavetable synthesizer sounds.
Page 6
A “part” is a place where you can load a tone and save it together with settings such as pan and EQ. The SH-4d contains five parts. You can select synthesizer tones for parts 1–4 and a rhythm kit tone for part R (the rhythm part).

* Do not use a USB cable that is designed only for charging. Charge-only cables cannot transmit data. * If you’re using a Mac, the SH-4d driver must be installed to connect to this unit. Access the website shown below to download the SH-4d Driver.
Turning the Power On Turning the Power On * Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. When supplying power via the USB port Connect the included USB Type-C cable to a 5V USB AC adaptor or to the USB port on your computer.

Creating a Tone Using the Modulation Matrix What is the Modulation Matrix? The modulation matrix is a function that lets you freely “rewire” signals like the LFO and envelope generator, to create a variety of sounds that normally can’t be achieved when connecting these components with the system default settings. For the signal source, you can use internal signals like the LFO, as well as external MIDI signals like control change messages.

How is the SH-4d rotary speaker sim switched in real time between slow and fast or on/off (for the VK-7)
To switch the SH-4d rotary speaker sim between Slow and Fast, adjust the "Speed" parameter to SLOW or FAST. To turn the rotary speaker rotation on or off, use the "Brake" parameter: set it to ON to gradually stop rotation, or OFF to gradually resume it.
