GUITAR RIG 3 ­ 119 Cab tone activates the Rotator's own cabinet simulation effect. You can turn this off if you want to use the Cabinets & Mics Component instead. For example, you could set up the Rotator Bass Cabinet and pan it fully left, then add the Rotator Horn Cabinet and pan it fully right. Connect the Rotator after Cabinets & Mics, and switch Cab Tone off. The Cabinets' left and right channels will now feed the Rotator's Bass and Horn rotors. aCCeL is used to determine how long it takes for the speed to change when you change the Rotator speed switch. When counterclockwise, it accelerates or decelerates over time; clockwise produces a near instantaneous change. Spread widens the stereo image when turned clockwise, and narrows the image when turned counterclockwise. It controls the distance between the left and right virtual microphones. 4. 10. 6 Oktaver This generates two signals ­ one octave below, and another signal two octaves below, the original pitch. There are two important cautions: GUITAR RIG 3 ­ 120 Oktaver works only with single notes, not chords. Do not add reverb, delay, or other modulation effects before it, as that will confuse the pitch tracking circuitry. However, you can usually put the Tube Compressor, Stomp Compressor, and sometimes EQ, before it with no problems. oCt 2 changes the level of the signal two octaves below the original pitch. aCCeL sets how long it takes for the speed to change when you change the rotator Speed SwitCH. When counterclockwise, it accelerates or decelerates over time; clockwise produces a near instantaneous change. Spread widens the stereo image when turned clockwise, and narrows the image when turned counterclockwise. It controls the distance between the left and right virtual microphones. GUITAR RIG 3 ­ 121 4. 10. 7 Pitch Pedal GUITAR RIG fans from around the world begged us to include a "pedalcontrolled vibrato tailpiece" effect, so how could we resist?So, instead of a standard vibrato tailpiece, we created a unit where all the strings stay in tune as you bend up and down. Controlling the drag (pitch shift) parameter from the RIG KONTROL pedal is highly recommended, as this gives hands-free control over pitch changes. Those who don't want to get involved with programming can simply choose some of the Presets for common string-bending effects. Parameters drag changes pitch, based on limits set by the expert mode knobs. Generally you drag the slider to the right to bend pitch up, and to the left to bend pitch down; but the reverse is also possible ­ as is having one extreme with no pitch change, and the other with an upward or downward pitch slide. [. . . ] In short, an AC isolation transformer can clean up the AC line, reduce spikes and transients, and provide performance almost equal to that of a separate AC line. So which is better, breaking the audio connection or the AC connection?If you have a lot of microprocessor-controlled gear and less than ideal AC, adding isolation transformers can solve various AC-related problems and get rid of ground loops. If you just have a simple ground loop problem, then patching in audio isolation transformers may be all you need. GUITAR RIG 3 ­ 212 9. [. . . ]
