You may legally print up to two (2) copies of this document for personal use. [. . . ] For both, the rotation rate, the effective driver size and tremolo can be set. The rotation rate of course sets how fast the rotating speaker is spinning. The effective driver size is the radius of the path followed by the speaker relative to its center of rotation. This parameter is used to calculate the resulting Doppler shift of the moving speaker. Doppler shift is the pitch shift that occurs when a sound source moves toward or away from you the listener. As well as Doppler shift, there will be some acoustic shadowing as the speaker is alternately pointed away from you and toward you. The shadowing is simulated with a tremolo over which you can control the tremolo depth and "width". The high frequency driver (rotating horn) will have a narrower acoustic beam width (dispersion) than the low frequency driver, and the widths of both may be adjusted. Note that it can take up to one full speaker rotation before you hear changes to tremolo when parameter values are changed. Negative microphone angles take a longer time to respond to tremolo changes than positive microphone angles. (i) (ii) Figure 10-45 Acoustic beams for (i) low frequency driver and (ii) high frequency driver You can control resonant modes within the rotating speaker cabinet with the Lo and Hi Resonate parameters. For a realistic rotating speaker, the resonance level and delay excursion should be set quite low. High levels will give wild pitch shifting. 10-107 KDFX Reference KDFX Algorithm Specifications Parameters Page 1 In/Out VibChInOut Vib/Chor Roto InOut In or Out In or Out V1 In or Out Out Gain Dist Drive DistWarmth Cabinet LP Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB 0 to 96 dB 16 to 25088 Hz 16 to 25088 Hz Page 2 Xover Lo Gain Lo Rate Lo Size Lo Trem Lo Beam W 16 to 25088 Hz Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB -10. 00 to 10. 00 Hz 0 to 250 mm 0 to 100% 45. 0 to 360. 0 deg Hi Gain Hi Rate Hi Size Hi Trem Hi Beam W Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB -10. 00 to 10. 00 Hz 0 to 250 mm 0 to 100% 45. 0 to 360. 0 deg Page 3 LoMicA Pos LoMicA Lvl LoMicA Pan HiMicA Pos HiMicA Lvl HiMicA Pan -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% LoMicB Pos LoMicB Lvl LoMicB Pan HiMicB Pos HiMicB Lvl HiMicB Pan -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% Page 4 LoResonate Lo Res Dly LoResXcurs ResH/LPhase 0 to 100% 10 to 2550 samp 0 to 510 samp 0. 0 to 360. 0 deg HiResonate Hi Res Dly HiResXcurs 0 to 100% 10 to 2550 samp 0 to 510 samp In/Out Out Gain VibChInOut Vib/Chor Roto InOut When set to "In", the algorithm is active; when set to "Off" the algorithm is bypassed. For distortion, it is often necessary to turn the output gain down as the distortion drive is turned up. When set to "In" the vibrato/chorus is active; when set to "Out" the vibrato/chorus is bypassed. There are six settings for this effect: three vibratos "V1", "V2", "V3", and three choruses "C1", "C2", "C3" When set to "In" the rotary speaker is active; when set to "Out" the rotary speaker is bypassed. 10-108 KDFX Reference KDFX Algorithm Specifications Dist Drive Applies a boost to the input signal to overdrive the distortion algorithm. Since distortion drive will make your signal very loud, you may have to reduce the Out Gain as the drive is increased. [VibChor+Rotor 4 only] A lowpass filter in the distortion control path. This filter may be used to reduce some of the harshness of some distortion settings without reducing the bandwidth of the signal. [VibChor+Rotor 4 only] A lowpass filter to simulate the band-limiting of a speaker cabinet. The frequency at which high and low frequency bands are split and sent to separate rotating drivers. The gain or amplitude of the signal passing through the rotating woofer (low frequency driver. Assuming microphone angles are set toward the front (between -90° and 90°) and microphones at positive angles are panned to the right (positive pan values), then positive rates correspond to clockwise rotation when viewed from the top.

numbers, program numbers, and note values. The K2661's GM Mode feature (described in Chapter 11 of the Musician's Guide) sets up your instrument for GM in a single step. Using General MIDI, you can share song files between different devices with reasonably consistent performance. [. . . ]
