Blue Cat Audio has released Blue Cat's Spinal Vibe, a new "augmented" rotating speakers simulation plug-in.
Blue Cat's Spinal Vibe is a rotary speaker emulator that goes beyond the scope of traditional simulations, thanks to a couple of twists: with up to 3 rotative speakers, advanced control over the rotational behavior of each speaker, slow or fast speed selection and anything in between (instant brake included), host tempo synchronization with phase adjustment, dry/wet control and more (details below), the plug-in offers a lot of flexibility. It covers a wide range of effects usually not available to traditional rotary speakers.
Finding a great tone is however made easy with the tone maps explorer, a unique tool to explore presets and create new tones without dealing with parameters.
