Authentic emulation of the classic rotary speaker for Propellerhead’s Rack Extension platform
Propellerhead today announced the immediate availability of Rotor, a rotary speaker Rack Extension for Reason. Meticulously modeled on the Leslie 122 speaker, Rotor brings its trademark vintage soul to the Reason rack, making authentic organ sounds and old-school guitar tones instantly accessible to Reason users.
Rotor carefully emulates all aspects of a rotary speaker, down to the independent rotation and acceleration of the horn and drum, and has settings for mic distance and rotation speed. Yet Rotor also takes the classic rotary speaker design into the future, with two flavors of built-in preamp distortion, control over the rotation doppler effect, the horn's length and acceleration speed as well as CV output of the rotation, for syncing other Reason devices to Rotor’s speed and acceleration.
Rotor comes complete with an included organ instrument for Reason's Combinator, as well as a set of expertly crafted Rotor patches designed for guitar, drums, vocals and keys.
