In other respects the algorithm is quite full featured and includes the Hammond vibrato/chorus model, distortion, full control of the rotating speaker model (speed, size for Doppler shift, tremolo, acoustic beam width, cabinet resonance) and microphone positions and panning. The signal does not get split into a high band and low band and passed through separate drivers. 145 L Input Pan L Output Out Gain Vibrato/ Chorus Distortion Rotator Mic Levels Pan Cabinet Out Gain R Input R Output Figure 62 VC+Dist+1Rotor 2 Parameters (VC+Dist+1Rotor 2): Page 1 In/Out VibChInOut Vib/Chor Roto InOut In or Out In or Out V1 In or Out Out Gain Dist Drive DistWarmth Cabinet LP Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB 0. 0 to 96. 0 dB 8 to 25088 Hz 8 to 25088 Hz Page 2 Gain Rate Size Trem Beam W Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB -10. 00 to 10. 00 Hz 0 to 250 mm 0 to 100% 45. 0 to 360. 0 deg Page 3 Mic A Pos Mic A Lvl Mic A Pan -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% Mic B Pos Mic B Lvl Mic B Pan -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% Page 4 Resonate Res Dly Res Xcurs Res Phs 0 to 100% 10 to 2550 samp 0 to 510 samp 0. 0 to 360. 0 deg Algorithm 292 VC+Dist+HiLoRotr gives you a model of the Hammond vibrato/chorus, distortion and the band splitting for high and low frequency drivers. To pack all this into a two-PAU algorithm, a few 146 sacrifices had to be made to the list of parameters for the rotating speaker model. The microphone panning is gone and there is a single microphone level control for the A and B microphones. The distortion used is a smaller version of Algorithm 303 PolyDistort + EQ. Even with fewer features, this algorithm gives a convincing Leslie effect while allowing space for more algorithms on other buses. Algorithm 294 VC+Dist+HiLoRot2 makes different tradeoffs than Algorithm 292 VC+Dist+HiLoRotr. This distortion uses more processor resources than the PolyDistort + EQ, so VC+Dist+HiLoRot2 does not include the acoustic beam width control for either the high or low frequency drivers. The signal flow is the same as for Algorithm 292 VC+Dist+HiLoRotr.

There is only a single rotating driver rather than a pair for high and low frequency bands. Aside from these omissions, the rotating speaker model is quite full featured. It includes full control of the rotating speaker including speed, size for Doppler shift, tremolo, acoustic beam width, cabinet lowpass filter and resonance and full microphone control for two microphone positions. 148 L Input L Output Pan Out Gain Rotator Mic Levels Pan Cabinet Out Gain R Output R Input Figure 64 Rotor 1 Parameters (Rotor 1): Page 1 In/Out In or Out Out Gain Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB Cabinet LP 8 to 25088 Hz Page 2 Speed Brake Gain Size Trem Beam W Slow or Fast On or Off Off, -79. 0 to 24. 0 dB 0 to 250 mm 0 to 100% 45. 0 to 360. 0 deg Slow Rate Fast Rate Slow>Fast Fast>Slow AccelCurve SpinDirec 0. 00 to 2. 00 Hz 3. 00 to 10. 00 Hz 0. 10 to 10. 00 s 0. 10 to 10. 00 s -100 to 100 % CW or CCW Page 3 Mic A Pos Resonate Res Dly Res Xcurs Res Phs 0 to 100% 10 to 2550 samp 0 to 510 samp 0. 0 to 360. 0 deg Mic A Lvl Mic A Pan Mic B Pos Mic B Lvl Mic B Pan -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% -180. 0 to 180. 0 deg 0 to 100% -100 to 100% In/Out Out Gain VibChInOut When set to In, the algorithm is active; when set to Out the algorithm is bypassed. For distortion, it is often necessary to turn the output gain down as the distortion drive is turned up. When set to In the vibrato/chorus is active; when set to Out the vibrato/chorus is bypassed. 149 Vib/Chor Roto InOut Dist Drive or Tube Drive This control sets the Hammond B3 vibrato/chorus. There are six settings for this effect: three vibratos V1, V2, and V3, and three choruses C1, C2, and C3. When set to In the rotary speaker is active; when set to Out the rotary speaker is bypassed. Applies a boost to the input signal to overdrive the distortion algorithm. Since distortion drive will make your signal very loud, you may have to reduce the Out Gain as the drive is increased. At 100%, the curve bends over smoothly and becomes perfectly flat right before it goes into clipping. This filter may be used to reduce some of the harshness of some distortion settings without reducing the bandwidth of the signal. Controls one-pole lowpass filters in the PolyDistort + EQ (in VC+Dist+HiLoRotr). [. . . ] The Invert parameters are actually redundant since Out Mode provides signal inversions as well. The left and right Out Mode parameters may be set to any of the following: L R (L+R)/2 (L-R)/2 -L -R -(L+R)/2 (R-L)/2 left channel right channel normalized sum of left and right normalized difference of left minus right polarity reversed left channel polarity reversed right channel polarity reversed and normalized sum of left and right normalized difference of right minus left You may well ask why you would want to meter or monitor reversals or sums or differences of your stereo channels. One important case is to determine if your final mix is mono compatible--very important if your mix is ever going to be broadcast on radio or television. Set both the left and right Out Mode parameters to (L+R)/2 to listen to the mono signal. [. . . ]
