Soundtrap's Rotary PRO: Turn Up the Vintage Vibes!

We're excited to announce the release of a new addition to the Soundtrap studio; Rotary PRO, an advancement to the existing Rotary effect. This powerful tool gives you even more control over your sound, allowing you to create a wider variety of vintage-inspired effects.

What is a Rotary Effect?

A Rotary effect simulates the sound of a Leslie speaker, a rotating speaker cabinet commonly used in organs and other instruments. Rotating two speakers at different speeds creates a swirling, chorus-like effect. This effect is particularly popular in funk, soul, and psychedelic music.

The Leslie speaker was invented in the 1960s and quickly became a staple in organ music. It was later adopted by other genres, including rock and pop, to add a unique and distinctive sound. 

Today, you can achieve the same awesome effect in Soundtrap with the Rotary PRO effect

Rotary PRO: A New Level of Control

The Rotary PRO effect in Soundtrap offers four control parameters:

• Treble Speed: Adjusts the speed of the high-frequency rotations.

• Bass Speed: Adjusts the speed of the low-frequency rotations.

• Balance: Emphasizes either the high frequencies (treble) or the low frequencies (bass) more in the mix.

• Mix: Determines the blend between the dry vs wet signal; hence how much the Rotary effect is applied.

By adjusting these parameters, you can create a wide variety of swirling, chorus-like effects that will add depth and texture to your music.

Try it out today!

Rotary PRO is part of our New Feature Friday series, where we release a new music production tool in the studio every Friday. Rotary PRO is now available in the Soundtrap studio. Experiment with different settings to create unique and interesting sounds and let us know what you think!
