Feed is more interesting, controlling the strength of Orbitron’s unique Circular Feedback system. Size sets the delay time shared across all of the modulation processors. This provides a visual readout of each processor’s intensity, a useful guide given how complex the interplay between Orbitron’s four processors can become.Īt the bottom of the panel are a pair of controls labelled Feed and Size. Alongside each processor’s panel, linking it to the central Mix Modulator, is a smaller circle containing a rotating dot. All models expose a set of five parameters, three of which – depth, rate and width – are common to all models, with the remaining pair of parameters being model-specific. Rotary Speaker and Chaos Vortex provide a couple of spinning effects, whilst bringing up the rear is the dense multiband, multitap Space Time model. There’s the expected selection of chorus, flanger and phaser models, and modulated examples of a comb filter, a combined high-pass/low-pass filter, and a resonant peak filter. Orbitron’s processors have twelve modulation models, allowing it to create most flavours of modulation effect. Finally, Random mode causes the control point to squiggle around on the Mix Modulator mesmerisingly, creating a constantly changing balance of the four processors which is excellent for adding constant, non-repetitive movement into the sound you’re processing. In Free mode, the controller constantly rotates around its central point at a distance (or “range”) and speed that you dial-in Sync mode is much the same, but the speed of rotation is locked to your DAW’s tempo. The simplest is Manual mode, which allows you to set the controller’s position with the mouse and drive it with automation from your DAW. The position of the Mix Modulator can be controlled and automated in various ways. The visual aspect of this Mix Modulator makes it completely intuitive to use, much like a joystick controller. When in its central position, the Mix Modulator delivers an even balance of all four processors in any other position, you hear a proportionate balance of the four processors. The plug-in contains four separate modulation processors and arranges them around a central, circular, X-Y controller – the Mix Modulator – which controls each processor’s relative balance.
