Rotary - Key B Organ Viscount Legend Solo Mode D'emploi

User Manual

5.4 ROTARY

Legend Solo
The internal Rotary effect simulates the classic acoustic effect produced by a rotating speaker
connected to the organ. This amplification and diffusion system became widespread with the advent of
electromechanical organs. It consists of two sections, one dedicated to high-pitched tones and the other to
bass. Both could rotate at different speeds, producing a peculiar three-dimensional effect due to the rotation of
the speakers. This effect is the result of the sum of the Doppler effect, due to the relative movement of the
sound source from the listener, and the sound reflections resulting from the rotation.
Legend Solo
The effect allows to simulate as closely as possible both the continuous pitch variations caused
by the different rotations of the speakers and the particular resonances generated inside the cabinet.
Through the [SLOW] button you can select the low speed, while using the [FAST] button is
selected the high speed. Pressing the selected speed button (indicated by the LED on)
will stop the speaker rotation (Brake mode).
The speed of the Rotary effect can also be controlled through a switch pedal connected to
the [ROTARY] jack on the rear panel. For more information on the pedal, read par.3.2.
With the [ROTARY CLASSIC/ROCK] button it is instead possible to select the listening mode of the
rotating speaker. The CLASSIC type simulates the speaker as it is actually perceived by the
musician. In this mode, the led turns off. The ROCK mode simulates the sound of a rotating
speaker as recorded by a microphone. In this mode, the led turns on.
Pressing simultaneously both buttons [TRANSPOSE SELECT] and [ROTARY CLASSIC/ROCK], it is possible to
eliminate the Rotary effect from the outputs [LEFT], [RIGHT] and [PHONES]. When the Rotary effect is
disabled, the [ROTARY CLASSIC/ROCK] button LED lights up in red.
