The included effect plug-ins
Rotary (Cubase Elements only)
The Rotary plug-in simulates the classic effect of a rotat-
ing speaker. A rotary speaker cabinet features speakers
rotating at variable speeds to produce a swirling chorus
effect, commonly used with organs. Rotary features all the
parameters associated with the real thing.
The following parameters are available:
Directing MIDI to the Rotary
For realtime MIDI control of the Speed parameter, MIDI
must be directed to the Rotary.
• Whenever Rotary has been added as an insert effect
(for an audio track or an FX channel), it is available on the
Output Routing pop-up menu for MIDI tracks.
If Rotary is selected on the Output Routing menu, MIDI is directed to the
plug-in from the selected track.
Tranceformer (not in Cubase LE)
Tranceformer is a ring modulator effect, in which the in-
coming audio is ring modulated by an internal, variable fre-
quency oscillator, producing new harmonics. A second
oscillator can be used to modulate the frequency of the
first oscillator, in sync with the Song tempo if needed.
Parameter Description
Speed selector
(Stop/Slow/
Fast)
Allows you to control the speed of the Rotary in three
steps.
Speed Change
Mode
Allows you to select whether the Slow/Fast setting is a
switch (left) or a variable control (right). When switch
mode is selected and Pitchbend is the controller, the
speed will switch with an up or down flick of the bender.
Other controllers switch at MIDI value 64.
Speed Mod When the Slow/Fast setting is set to variable control, this
allows you to select the rotary speed, from 0 (Stop) to
100 (Fast).
MIDI controller
pop-up menu
Allows you to choose the MIDI controller that is used to
control the plug-in. Set this to “Automation” if you do not
want to use MIDI realtime control.
Overdrive Applies a soft overdrive or distortion.
CrossOver Sets the crossover frequency (200 to 3000 Hz) between
the low and high frequency loudspeakers.
Horn – Slow Allows for a fine adjustment of the high rotor Slow speed.
Horn – Fast Allows for a fine adjustment of the high rotor Fast speed.
Horn – Accel. Allows for a fine adjustment of the high rotor acceleration
time.
Horn –
Amp
Mod
Controls the high rotor amplitude modulation.
Horn –
Freq
Mod
Controls the high rotor frequency modulation.
Bass – Slow Allows for a fine adjustment of the low rotor Slow speed.
Bass – Fast Allows for a fine adjustment of the low rotor Fast speed.
Bass – Accel. Allows for a fine adjustment of the low rotor acceleration
time.
Bass –
Amp
Mod
Adjusts the modulation depth of the amplitude.
Bass – Level Adjusts the overall bass level.
Microphones –
Phase
Allows you to adjust the phasing amount in the sound of
the high rotor.
Microphones –
Angle
Sets the simulated microphone angle. 0 = mono,
180
= one mic on each side.
Microphones –
Distance
Sets the simulated microphone distance from the
speaker in inches.
Output Allows you to adjust the overall output level.
Mix Allows you to adjust the mix between dry and processed
signals.
