{"product_id":"slate-digital-rotary-sd-147","title":"Slate Digital Rotary SD-147","description":"\u003cp\u003eRotary SD-147 is an accurate model of the rotating speaker cabinet behind a half-century of records. Every classic organ track. “Tomorrow Never Knows.” “Little Wing.” “Black Hole Sun.” A long list of others. The two rotors, the cabinet reflections, the tube amplifier, the crossover, the saturation, the mechanical noise, the acceleration physics. All of it modeled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen it adds things the original cabinet couldn’t do. Silence the motor noise. Eliminate mic crosstalk. Stop the rotors at an exact angle. Resize the cabinet. Lock the rotation to the project tempo. Automate every parameter. Map the speed switch to a MIDI controller and play it live the way the cabinet was used on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMic placement, not just mic choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRotary SD-147 includes ten mic models from the ML-1A Virtual Microphone System (built in, no separate VMS purchase required) for both the horn and the baffle. The stereo horn pair has independent distance, offset, and angular-width controls. The mono baffle mic has independent distance and position-around-the-cabinet controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree classic horn-mic setups (90°, 180°, mono) and two baffle setups serve as starting points, but any mic can be moved anywhere around the cabinet. With Mic Bleed switched off, each mic captures only its rotor, a separation impossible with the real device. The result is the same flexibility an engineer would have with the actual cabinet in a treated room, without either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for organs. Works on everything.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rotating speaker started as an organ accessory and stayed there for fifteen years. Then guitarists noticed (Harrison, Clapton, Hendrix, Gilmour). Then vocalists. Then lo-fi producers chasing pitch instability. The plugin handles all of it: hit the speed switch on an organ pad, automate it under a guitar lead, tempo-sync the rotation under a synth, or crank the mechanical noise to add vinyl-style imperfection to a Wurli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with Virtual Tape Machines for analog character on the way in, and Infinity EQ 2 for tonal shaping after. Or drop it into your existing chain. Rotary SD-147 delivers the cabinet sound that anchors decades of pop music on whatever you put through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTwo rotor models: horn (mids\/highs) and drum (lows), with independent gain on each and realistic per-rotor acceleration and deceleration physics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eThree speeds: Slow (Chorale), Stop, Fast (Tremolo). Per-rotor Speed Slow and Speed Fast knobs set the rotation rates; Accel\/Decel knobs control how quickly the rotors transition between speeds.
