Changing the Multi-effects Type

1

While holding down [SHIFT], press [MULTI EFFECTS].

The effect number appears in the display.

2

Press [INC] or [DEC] to select the effect type.

3

After determining the type, press [SHIFT] to return to the previous screen.

For more on the RD-300SX’s internal effect types, refer to the “Effects List” (p. 55).

Adding a Spinning Sound to Organ Tones (Rotary Effect)

The Rotary effect is applied to some Organ tones you can select with the [ORGAN] button. When one of these tones is selected, you can use the [MULTI EFFECTS] button to change the speed of the rotary effect.

What the rotary effect does is to add a “spinning” effect similar to the sound of an organ using a rotating speaker.

1

Press [ORGAN] and select the organ tone.

When a tone that has the Rotary effect added is selected, the [MULTI EFFECTS] button’s indicator flashes.

2

Each time pressing [MULTI EFFECTS], switch the speed of the rotary effect

between fast and slow rotation.

When the [MULTI EFFECTS] button’s indicator flashes, a more fast rotary effect is applied.

When the [MULTI EFFECTS] button’s indicator blinks, a slower rotary effect is applied.

To prevent the Rotary effect from being applied, select an effect type other than the Rotary effect and then remove the effect (p. 29).

You can apply the rotary effect to tones other than the organ tones as well.
