Modulation

Rotary

Steinberg

Rotary is a modulation effect that simulates the classic sound of a rotating speaker cabinet, commonly associated with organ music. It features independent control over horn (high rotor) and bass (low rotor) speeds with acceleration times, plus overdrive and crossover frequency adjustments for authentic rotating speaker character.

Key Features

01Independent horn and bass rotor speed controls (slow/fast/stop)
02Rotor acceleration time adjustment for both horn and bass
03Overdrive with soft distortion
04Crossover frequency control (200-3000 Hz)
05Amplitude and frequency modulation for horn rotor
06Simulated microphone angle (0° to 180° mono to stereo)
07MIDI-controllable speed modulation via multiple controllers
08Phase adjustment and microphone distance simulation

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Speed Mod Control set to PitchBend to change rotor speed with the pitch wheel for dynamic performance control
  • 02Adjust the Angle parameter from 0° (mono miking) to 180° (stereo miking) to increase spatial width
  • 03Set the crossover frequency between 200-3000 Hz to balance the tone between horn and bass rotors
  • 04Enable the Speed Change Mode to the right and use the Speed Mod control to modulate speed independent of the fixed stop/slow/fast selector
