Definitive emulation
The Rotary CLS-222 stands out by bringing the sought-after analog rotary speaker effect into the digital age. It captures the essence of the classic effect with unparalleled accuracy, offering you the full-tilt Leslie sound without the bulky hardware. This plugin ensures that every nuance of the original sound, from its warm, analog character to its immersive stereo motion, is faithfully reproduced in your digital audio workstation.
From classic to chaotic
With the Rotary CLS-222, you can navigate the spectrum from classic rotation effects that add a smooth stereo sheen to their sound, to more complex and chaotic modulation patterns. This versatility allows for an exploration of the stereo field in new and exciting ways, making it possible to create unique soundscapes that push the boundaries of traditional sound modulation.
Spin any sound
This plugin is not just for keys and guitars; its design encourages experimentation with any sound source. The Rotary CLS-222 excels at transforming simple audio into rich, psychedelic beats or dense, ambient textures. It's built for producers and musicians who are eager to explore the creative possibilities of rotary modulation, offering a wide range of settings to play with.
Creative upgrades
Arturia has enhanced the Rotary CLS-222 with a suite of creative features that surpass its hardware predecessor. These upgrades include a valve preamp for a richer sound palette, separate bass and treble speed controls for nuanced modulation, an interactive visualizer for real-time feedback, and a comprehensive preset library. These features not only extend the plugin's capabilities but also its versatility, catering to a broad spectrum of musical styles and production techniques.
Reviews
"It's the “character” of the Rotary CLS-222 that is really cool. It's really wonderful at widening the stereo image very subtle way. The setting that spins the rotors in opposite directions is truly mind-blowing. This is not just another Leslie effect but a creative tool for the creative producers." - Steve Levine - Producer / Engineer (Culture Club, The Beach Boys)
