What Are ADD-ON EFFECTS?
ADD-ON EFFECTS are software packages that install additional high-quality effects programs on digital
consoles.
What is Field Rotation
Field Rotation is one of the effects programs that can be used with ADD-ON EFFECTS.
It virtually rotates the surround sound field.
What is the Interactive Spatial Sound Processor (iSSP)?
iSSP is a technology that combines a geometric sound simulator that attenuates sound according to an
estimate of the sound reflection that accompanies the shape of a room, taking into consideration the
direction of the sound source and the room’s surface materials with multi-channel signal processor
technology that uses information about the position of the sound source to perform distance attenuation
based on the balance and delay/filter for each output channel.
This iSSP technology is used in Field Rotation.

The basic operation is as follows:
1 Select one of the internal effects processors.
2 Patch the signal to and from the currently selected effects processor.
3 Locate the Effects Library page.
4 Select and recall Field Rotation.
n When you recall the program, all effects processor outputs will be muted temporarily.
5 Locate the Effects Edit page.
6 Set the parameters. (See the “Part Names and Functions” on page 3 for more information on Field Rotation parameters.)
The procedure for recalling and editing Field Rotation varies depending on the console you are using.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your console for more information.
Editing Parameters in Studio Manager
In Studio Manager, editable parameters appear in both the Field Rotation window and the Generic Editor window.
The Field Rotation window enables you to edit Field Rotation specific parameters, and the Generic Editor window enables you
to edit parameters common to Field Rotation and other Effects.

5 AUTOMATION
Settings related to Automation.
In Field Rotation, automation operates based on the virtual sound field set for KEY 1 and KEY 2 respectively. However,
because automation can be set using each parameter for size, aspect ratio, position, and angle individually, very complex
movement can be simulated.
Automation Preview Scope
With Preview Scope, you can view a preview animation of automation play,
based on the currently set automation parameters.
Because preview animation operates through emulation on the editor side, it
has no connection to whether automation in the unit itself is operating or not.
Furthermore, because it operates always, even when offline, it is not
synchronized with operation in the main unit.
