Rotary - Boss VF-1 Owner's Manual

FREQ (frequency)
This adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.
FX LEVEL (effect level)
This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
DIR LEVEL (direct level)
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

ROTARY

This parameter simulates an old-fashioned rotary speaker,
which added undulations to the sound by rotating the
speaker as it played.
A real rotary speaker has a switch to select slow or fast
rotation. Its horn (treble-range speaker) and rotor (bass-range
speaker) can also be rotated independently. The ROTARY
Effector has parameters that can be used to re-create these
subtle effects.
EFFECT
This parameter turns the rotary effect on/off.
SPEED SELECT
This parameter changes the simulated speaker's rotating
speed (SLOW or FAST).
HORN FAST
This parameter adjusts the speed of rotation for the horn
when set to "FAST."
ROTOR FAST
This parameter adjusts the speed of rotation for the rotor
when set to "FAST."
HORN SLOW
This parameter adjusts the speed of rotation for the horn
when set to "SLOW."
ROTORY SLOW
This parameter adjusts the speed of rotation for the rotor
when set to "SLOW."
RISE TIME HORN
This parameter adjusts the time it takes for the rotation speed
of the horn to change when switched from "SLOW" to
"FAST."
RISE TIME ROTOR
This parameter adjusts the time it takes for the rotation speed
of the rotor to change when switched from "SLOW" to
"FAST."
The function of each parameter
FALL TIME HORN
This parameter adjusts the time it takes for the rotation speed
of the horn to change when switched from "FAST" to
"SLOW."
FALL TIME ROTOR
This parameter adjusts the time it takes for the rotation speed
of the rotor to change when switched from "FAST" to
"SLOW."
BALANCE ROTOR:HORN
This parameter adjusts the volume balance between the horn
and rotor.
MIC SETTING
This parameter switches the position of the microphone used
to record the sound of the rotary speaker.
OFF MIC:
This simulates the sound recorded by a microphone
positioned at a distance from the rotary speaker. There are
few undulations in the sound. This setting is good for
instruments such as a jazz organ.
ON MIC:
This simulates the sound recorded by a microphone
positioned close to the rotary speaker. The sound has many
undulations. This setting is good for instruments such as a
rock organ.
HORN DEPTH
This parameter adjusts the amount of depth in the Doppler
effect for the horn.
ROTOR DEPTH
This parameter adjusts the amount of depth in the Doppler
effect for the rotor.
HORN TRMLO (horn tremolo)
This parameter adjusts the amount of change in volume for
the horn.
ROTOR TRMLO (rotor tremolo)
This parameter adjusts the amount of change in volume for
the rotor.
DIFFUSION
This parameter adjusts the "fatness" of the sound.
FX LEVEL (effect level)
This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
