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 filter controls the upper frequency limit of the output. 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. The rotation rate of the rotating woofer (low frequency driver). The woofer can rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise. The direction of rotation depends on the sign of the rate parameter. 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. The effective size (radius of rotation) of the rotating woofer in millimeters. Affects the amount of Doppler shift or vibrato of the low frequency signal. Controls the depth of tremolo of the low frequency signal. Expressed as a percentage of full scale tremolo. The rotating speaker effect attempts to model a rotating woofer for the low frequency driver. The acoustic radiation pattern of a woofer tends to range from omnidirectional (radiates in directions in equal amounts) to a wide beam. You may adjust the beam width from 45° to 360°. If you imagine looking down on the rotating speaker, the beam angle is the angle between the -6 dB levels of the beam. At 360°, the woofer is omnidirectional. The gain or amplitude of the signal passing through the rotating tweeter (high frequency driver. [. . . ] Many GM song files are commercially available, and they'll sound great on your K2661. Inside GM Mode Here's what happens when you enable GM Mode from the Master Page: · · On all channels except channel 10 (which GM uses for drums), you will see only the 128 GM programs. On MIDI channel 10, you will see the eight drum kits. The K2661 will modify the following entries in the master table: · FX mode (GM uses Master mode) · FX channel (GM uses None) · FX studio (GM uses the studio selected in GM Studio set on the Master: GM page) · Receive velocity map (GM uses the GM Receive Velocity Map) · progChgType (GM uses 0-127 mode) Old settings will be remembered, however, so that when you turn GM Mode off the K2661 will restore your previous settings. · Volume and expression controllers are mapped to a special GM curve, as in "GS" synths.
