Effects List
24: Digital Phaser
Phaser is an effect that adds a phase-shifted sound to the
original sound to create time-varying change, modulating the
sound.

25: 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.

Description
Sets the number of stages in the
phase shift circuit (four (4STAGE)
or eight (8STAGE)).
Setting this to eight stages
(8STAGE) increases the number of
the frequency points that sound is
canceled, giving a sharper effect.
4 stage
Freq.
8 stage
Freq.
Specifies the center frequency at
which the sound is modulated.
Specifies the frequency of modula-
tion.
Specifies the depth of modulation.
Sets the phase of both left and right
swelling.
NORM: The left and right phase
will be the same.
INV: The left and right phase will
be opposite.
Specifies the amount of feedback
for the phaser.
Higher settings will give the sound
a stronger character.

26: Tremolo/Auto Pan
This is a stereo tremolo or auto-pan effect. Tremolo cyclically
modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the sound. The
Auto Pan effect cyclically modulates the stereo location of the
sound.

Description
Simultaneously switch the rota-
tional 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.
Slow speed (SLOW) of the low fre-
quency rotor
Fast speed (FAST) of the low fre-
quency rotor
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.
Volume of the low frequency rotor
Slow speed (SLOW) of the high fre-
quency rotor
Fast speed (FAST) of the high fre-
quency rotor
Adjusts the time it takes the high
frequency rotor to reach the newly
selected speed when switching
from fast to slow (or slow to fast)
speed.
