Of course, all that motion creates a rich sound—but then you have to capture it using microphones. Spin provides fifteen classic recording setups to choose from, giving you the sounds you’ve heard on countless records instantly.
Just choose a preset and click Chorale, Tremolo, or Off. Alternately, click and drag the flip switch. Short flicks of the wrist land on Off; longer flicks toggle between Chorale and Tremolo.
You may also Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) anywhere to toggle between Chorale and Tremolo speeds.
Small pulleys (fastest rotation).
Large pulleys (slowest rotation).
Middle pulleys, wide stereo microphone placement.
Lower drum slow motor unplugged, microphones close.
Lower drum only, loose belts, microphones close.
Guitar rotating speaker, maximum speed differential.
Guitar rotating speaker, slower variation.
Guitar rotating speaker, faster variation.
No rotation, but still through the crossover and speakers (wherever the speakers comes to rest relative to the microphones!).
Though the Voce Spin plug-in window contains only the Chorale/Off/Tremolo control, the following parameters are also available:
Using these controls, you can adjust and automate parameters such as input trim (from –24 dB to +24 dB), set the rotor balance (the mix between the upper and lower speakers), specify acceleration and deceleration times (in seconds) for both the upper and lower speakers, tweak the fast and slow speeds of each speaker, and specify the microphone angle for each stereo pair of microphones.
You can access these additional controls through Pro Tools plug-in automation, and/or from a compatible control surface.
