ROTOR - ROTARY SPEAKER
4
Introduction
Rotor is a Propellerhead Rack Extension designed to simulate a rotary speaker. Rotary speakers are commonly used
for providing vibrato/tremolo/chorus like effects to tonewheel organs but can of course be used with other
instruments and sounds as well.
A classic rotary speaker cabinet features a bass speaker mounted upside down, with a rotating drum placed
underneath it. The cabinet also features a treble horn which rotates on a separate axis - in the opposite direction. The
drum and horn are driven by separate motors and can run together at two different speeds: Slow (chorale) and Fast
(tremolo). The rotation can also be stopped so that the drum and horn are completely still.
All classic features are faithfully mimicked in Rotor, and we have also added a number of additional functions so you
can tweak your sounds further.
Using Rotor
Loading and saving patches
Loading and saving patches is done in the same way as with any other internal Reason/Reason Essentials device -
see the “Sounds and Patches” chapter in the Reason/Reason Essentials Operation Manual pdf for details.
Overdrive parameters
The overdrive effect can be used for adding harmonic distortion to your sound. There are two different types of
distortion to choose from:
• Crunch
This is a high-energy type of distortion with rich upper harmonic content.
• Smooth
This is a soft and smooth type of subtle distortion.
