Rotor Cabinet eect motor parameters
The Rotor Cabinet eect provides the following motor control parameters.
Motor parameters
•
Acceleration knob: Rotate to set the time it takes to get the rotors up to the speed set with
the Max Rate knob, and the length of time it takes for them to slow down. The Leslie motors
need to physically accelerate and decelerate the speaker horns in the cabinets, and their
power to do so is limited. Turn Acceleration to the far left position to switch to the preset
speed immediately. As you rotate the knob to the right, it takes more time to hear the speed
changes. At the default, centered, position the behavior is Leslie-like.
•
Max Rate knob: Rotate to set the maximum possible rotor speed.
•
Motor Control pop-up menu: Set dierent speeds for the bass and treble rotors in the pop-up
menu. Use the Rotation switch to choose slow, brake, or fast mode.
•
Normal: Both rotors use the speed determined by the Rotation switch position.
•
Inv (inverse): In fast mode, the bass compartment rotates at a fast speed, while the horn
compartment rotates slowly. This is reversed in slow mode. In brake mode, both rotors stop.
•
910: The 910 (also known as “Memphis”), stops the bass drum rotation at slow speed, while
the speed of the horn compartment can be switched. This is useful when you’re after a solid
bass sound but still want treble movement.
•
Sync: The acceleration and deceleration of the horn and bass drums are roughly the same.
This sounds as if the two drums are locked, but the eect is clearly audible only during
acceleration or deceleration.
Note: If you choose Single Cabinet from the (Cabinet) Type pop-up menu, the Motor Control
setting is not relevant because there are no separate bass and treble rotors in a single cabinet.
