PreSonus Rotor.
Add warmth, character, and motion with PreSonus Rotor. This plug-in brings the classic rotary speaker cabinet sound directly to your DAW, optimized for both Studio One and other popular music production software. Thanks to advanced State Space Modeling technology, Rotor replicates the unique traits of individual analog components like vacuum tubes and transformers.
This technology delivers a highly realistic digital emulation of tube-powered amplification, capturing the signature grit, texture, and the vibe-rich braking and acceleration effects of a rotary speaker. With independent control over horn and woofer speeds, along with key settings like amp drive, stereo spread, and horn/woofer balance, Rotor provides the flexibility you need to craft your sound.
Take It for a Spin Rotor emulates the distinct sound of a tube-driven rotary speaker, featuring independently rotating high-mid horns and a bass woofer—a sound that has defined genres from gospel to '70s rock. This plug-in excels at adding motion and tonal character to organ sounds, guitars, or any other instrument you want to experiment with. Each speaker’s rotation speed is fully adjustable, and the transition between speeds includes realistic braking and acceleration effects. PreSonus' State Space Modeling ensures that the tube emulation delivers warmth and authenticity. While a favorite among Studio One users, Rotor is also compatible with other DAWs on Mac and Windows platforms, supporting VST3, AAX, and AU formats.
Analog Warmth for the Digital Age PreSonus' State Space Modeling technology allows for precise modeling of analog circuits at the component level, capturing the specific nonlinearities of elements like transformers and vacuum tubes. This results in more accurate and nuanced digital recreations of analog gear behavior. Rotor’s drive stage perfectly captures the character and tone of a classic tube amplifier, infusing your digital tracks with rich, analog warmth and personality.
