I've been trying some things out with the rotary block trying to emulate that classic Leslie sound that you hear on old Pink Floyd albums, but I can't quite dial it in. What settings are you guys finding work for that vibe?

The secret there being the Rotary speed is controlled by an expression pedal - so you can roll it up and down and make it 'swirl' a bit (vari speed) to suitWatch this: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/in-for-a-quick-dg-video-and-preset.119018/
I don't know the exact time code, but Burgs kicks in the Rotary in the middle somewhere that sounds pretty "Gilmore-ish" to me ....
Good Luck !

Can you share a clip here or the preset?I think I finally have the rotary where I want it. I ended up basically using a combination of the settings used by iaresee and Burgs. Sounds great to me. Took some tweaking for sure, but thanks for the advice, it was very helpful.

Hey @BrickGlass thanks so much for sharing your settings! I'm working with the FX8 unit, so being able to read detailed settings or save blocks is the only way for me to pick up on the awesome discoveries by other members. It's a great way to quickly get going on some recognizable effects and reference tones, and provides a fantastic usable starting point and education for me, who has only had traditional stomp box effects previously. If you've dialed your Gilmour Rotary in any further, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks again.
Do the RA-200 or the "Doppla's" actually have a variable speed control ? I always though it was just a fast or slow setting and Gilmour, to my knowledge, just uses them on a slow setting, mixed with his main outputs to add a touch of rotary.
I usually dial the mix back to about 10 or 15% and just set the speed control to a slower setting, seems to do the trick quite well.
I've always found the key with Gilmour is that he doesn't use any of the modulation in an over the top manner, its a subtle touch of rotary, a fairly subtle mix of EM flanger, a subtle CE-2 chorus etc. Put it all together and its quite a lush sound, but no one effect jump out at you
What songs do will you use this rotary effect? I will be jumping in to the Gilmour tone quest soon and a preset exchange would be a good startI've been trying some things out with the rotary block trying to emulate that classic Leslie sound that you hear on old Pink Floyd albums, but I can't quite dial it in.

When you're setting a specific tempo, it's dependent on what your tap tempo happens to be set at. A setting of 28/64 on your unit won't sound like 28/64 on my unit.
IOW, it's better to state the Rate in the block, not the tempo -- or both.
