Rotary Speaker Simulator; Tremolo & Auto Panner - DigiTech 2112 Owner's Manual

OTARY PEAKER
The Rotary Speaker Simulator allows you to emulate the classic rotating speaker sound, without the chiropractic
problems that come with moving bulky speaker cabinets.The Rotary speaker is directly responsible for some of the
most unique sounds in music.The applications for this effect are so diverse, it can be used to achieve sounds ranging
from the Allman Brothers Band to the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan.

FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Balance Controls the positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Ranges from -99 (all left)
to 99 (all right)
Mode Selects which speed mode the Rotor and Horn are in. Settings are fast or slow.
Spread Sets the horn stereo microphone spread. Ranges from 0 to 100%.
H - R: Level Sets the overall level of the Rotor or Horn. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Slo - Fast Hrn Speed Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed of the Horn. Ranges from 0.06 to 16.0
Hz.
Slo - Fast Hrn Depth Controls the intensity of the rotating effect. Ranges from 0 to 30 milliseconds.
Slo - Fast Hrn Doppler Sets the amount of shifted pitch heard in the Horn. Ranges from 0 to 50 milliseconds.
Slo - Fast Rtr Speed Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed of the Rotor. Ranges from 0.06 to 16.0
Hz.
Slo - Fast Rtr Depth Controls the intensity of the rotating effect. Ranges from 0 to 30 milliseconds.
X-Over Selects the frequency where the signal is split between the Horn and Rotor. Ranges from
25Hz to 20kHz.
Acceleration: H - R Sets the amount of time that the Rotor and Horn take to come up to their full rotating
speed. Ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.

REMOLO AND
Look out, because the popular Tremolo and Auto panner effects of the 50's and 60's are back with a vengeance.These
effects that revolutionized "Surf-Style" music can be heard all over the air waves in the 90's.Tremolos and auto pan-
ners are similar to one another in that they both use an LFO to modulate input levels to produce vibrato effects.

REMOLO
The word tremolo actually has several definitions in the music world. It basically means that a sound is being modulat-
ed in amplitude (the volume is beating or pulsing). It could be emulated by turning a volume knob up and down. But
you probably have better things to do than turn a volume control up and down throughout a whole song, so let the
2112 do it for you.
Aside from speed and depth parameters, the tremolo also has an LFO waveform that determines the way a signal's
volume is increased and decreased.While the Sine wave is probably the most common to the ear, the Triangle and
Special 2 waveforms are progressively more intense.
WHEN DO I USE TREMOLO? Tremolo is truly a vintage sound for the guitar, electric piano and organ. Most
pronounced on the guitar, you can hear it used on everything from sweet ballads to blues rock 'n roll.
