Hi --
Just spent some time tweaking the Genos Real Rotary effect. This is the new rotary speaker effect and is the same as the Montage effect algorithm.
As Gerard, Uli and others have noted, acceleration times (slow-fast, fast-slow) of the woofer cannot be set. These parameters are configurable on the Montage, BTW. Yamaha?
Also, seems like the upper limit for acceleration time is 2.00. I wish the maximum was longer. Yamaha tends to program rotary speaker speeds too fast right out of the box. (I know of at least one Yamaha demonstrator who feels the same way!)
The drive seems kind of wimpy. Does Drive interact with any other parameters like Input Level? Steve Winwood is not pleased.
The Tone control darkens and brightens the sound (0: dark, 10: bright). I like my Hammond tone a little darker, so I dialed this down a little bit.
If it every gets warm in New England, again, I'll find a Montage and look at the defaults for its rotary speaker effect. The synths often are programmed differently.
Not an effects thing, but does anyone else miss drawbar color (brown, black and ivory)? When I reach for the sliders while playing, all I see is a mess'o'black drawbars. As much as I hate to schmutz up a new instrument, I might put some kind of white sticky on the even bars to help my old eyes.
Havin' a blast! Only had it a week and I'm still playing mostly organ... Oh, there are other voices?
All the best and stay warm -- pj
