Rotor | Reason Studios Rotating Speaker Rack Extension.

The Rotor is perfect for authentic organ sounds, old-school guitar tones, or as a unique shaper in your sound design toolbox.

Painstakingly modeled on the Leslie 122, the Rotor brings the sound of classic '40s rotary speaker design to the Reason rack. Whatever the use, the Rotor will add a vintage flavor to your Reason rack.

The traditional use of a rotary speaker is, of course, with organs, so the Rotor comes complete with an included organ instrument for Reason's Combinator, and a set of expertly created patches for guitar, drums, vocals and much more for an impressive variety of sounds.

The Rotor carefully emulates every aspect of a rotating speaker, down to the independent rotation and acceleration of the bugle and drum, and has settings for microphone distance and rotation speed. But the Rotor also takes the classic rotary speaker design into the future, with two types of built-in preamp distortion, control over rotation Doppler, horn length and acceleration speed, as well as CV output from the rotation, to synchronize other Reason devices with the Rotor's speed and acceleration.

Resources:

• Extremely authentic emulation of a Leslie speaker.
• It behaves exactly like the original. The bugle part of the sound rises and falls more quickly than the drum part due to inertia.
• Looking for great tone? Just turn it on. The Rotor turns simple synthesized organs into incredibly accurate organ sounds, makes guitars sound interesting, and gives vocals a big, 60s-flavored sound.
• Fully integrated into the Reason rack. Sync other Reason devices with the Rotor rotation speed via CV on the back.
• Defies the physical constraints of a rotating speaker. Parameters go beyond the real world with horns twice the size and helicopter-like rotation speeds of up to 13.6 Hz. Just adjust the tuning knobs!
• Includes an organ instrument for Reason's Combinator and a great set of Rotor and Combinator patches for guitar, vocals, keys, and drums.
• Classic rotating speaker effect
• Modeled after the Leslie 122 speaker
• Comes with Combinator patches for organ and guitar

Note: Although Rotor is fully compatible with Reason and Reason Essentials, instrument patches included with Rotor require Reason.
