Description

Spinal Vibe offers up to 3 rotative speakers, with full control over the rotational behavior of each speaker: you can not only select their rotation speed and curve, but also the amount of Doppler, amplitude modulation and dampening independently, as well as their acceleration and deceleration characteristics.
The plug-in provides a simple control to select either slow or fast speed and anything in between, together with a brake to stop the rotation instantly. The rotation can also be synced to the host tempo, and the phase of each rotating speaker can be adjusted too.
It is also possible to mix the dry signal with the rotated signal(s) together to create interesting phasing modulation effects thanks to phase cancellation.
More than a simple rotary speaker simulation, Spinal Vibe offers a wide range of modulation effects that can be produced by the rotation of several sound sources.
