Hi folks,

Does anyone know what determines whether Set Lists and Combinations have the Rotary Speaker effect running? See pics below:

I have found that the Rotary effects are noisy (anyone else have this issue, or is it normal), and I want to be able to disable them and only use them as insert FX for specific instruments. Does anyone know how to do this from:

a) within Combinations
b) within the Set List screen?

I had a look through the manual but just couldn't find it?

Many thanks,
Anthony.

I think you will need to dig into the particular Combi, and identify which CX-3 organ Program has the ' baked in ' Rotary speaker FX.

The screen tab is " Control Surface". there is a tiny radial on/off dial that says Turn off R/S.

Once you do that, replace the original Program with the above edited Program. in the Combi. If you like what you hear, write/rename your custom Combi. Then add to set list.

This was more involved than I realized.

Hammond organs and rotary speakers were noisy by nature. Hammonds naturally have some "bleed". Close micing can bring that out. You could try changing the mic distance in the rotary parameters.

Hi ante1974,

If you are referring to the amp background noise emulating Leslie cabinets, simply go to the CX-3 organ programs used in the combi or setlist and under the EXi/Basic tab turn Noise Level to 0, then save.

Hi GregC, thanks for this advice. I tried it but the sound is completely different and a bit flat without the Rotary. KK's method solved that problem.

True, it's just that when I am recording, I don't want to hear the noise. I found a method that suits what I am trying to do, i.e turning down the noise level.

Hi KK, yes this worked well for me. Thanks!

Hi there,

You're welcome. I agree with you here in that IMHO there are certain things from original instruments that don't need to be digitally emulated. Piano string resonance is very important to reproduce, that's for sure. But piano action noise, piano felts rubbing against strings when pushing the damper pedal, Leslie cabinet background noise and so on, not at all.

That's great that those idiosyncrasies can be reproduced digitally but to me they represent imperfections that original instrument designers would have certainly eliminated if they could. So it always strikes me as weird that in this digital era they become quality requisites so we can say "Ah, this feels almost like the real thing". In my case, OK that's nice, but now let's get rid of those imperfections by turning them off. Wink
