Accidental Rotary
I was playing live last night, and with just a regular piano patch. 3 separate times, as I'm playing chords on the lower register, one of my other fingers hit the rotary-on switch, and all of a sudden, the rotary effect comes on and really messes up my performance. Seems when I want leslie, it's struggle to turn it on, but when I'm just playing piano, I don't know why that switch would do anything unless I specifically turn that effect on. Is there a way to turn off this behavior?

Re: Accidental Rotary
ha... yeah, that happens to me too sometimes. some over exuberant playing sometimes enables an effect I don't want. the buttons close to the keys are easily turned on.. but just as easily turned off.

Re: Accidental Rotary
On your piano patch, assign the rotary to either organ or synth.
(Sorry... I was assuming you are playing a Stage. I'm not aware of a workaround if you're playing an Electro.)

Re: Accidental Rotary
The manual says "the Rotary effect is automatically activated when the Rotary speed control (SLOW/STOP, FAST) to the left of the Organ section is operated – if the Spkr/Comp unit is turned off." So a solution could be to turn the Spkr/Comp effect on, assigned to some sound you're not playing (organ or synth) so that it will have no audible effect but it will stop the rotary button from doing anything if you hit it.

Re: Accidental Rotary
Is there still no solution for this for the Electro 6D? It really gets messy when you’re playing in live mode and there is no way for you to turn it off again. Why would anyone use a rotary effect for piano anyways?

Re: Accidental Rotary
Well the real solution is to play the keys and not the buttons on the panel anyway you can turn it off again if it accidentally happens, why are you saying you can't?
In general, unless the problem is the Rotary switch having become too sensitive and triggering with vibration (which would require replacing or fixing it) but also in that case, the workaround of assigning the Speaker/comp effect to a section not in use is a good one or even better, if all sections are in use, you can also assign it as Comp set at minimum, so that the Slow/Stop- Fast button will become inactive.

Why not? Maybe not for acoustic grands or uprights, but a Rhodes, a Wurlitzer or other electronic/digital pianos can sound very interesting through the rotary effect

Where do you turn it off? I couldn’t find anything in the manual and have no idea how. The maximum that you can do is stop the rotary, but the effect is still on and quite audible.
