Revolving Stereo Motion

Send your sound spinning

Bring Your Sound Full Circle with The Instantly Recognizable Sound of The Rotary Effect; Discover the Iconic Spinning Character Heard on Countless Records, or Explore the Wilder Side of Stereo Movement with Bonus Creative Features. What Goes Around…

Definitive rotary emulation

The sought-after analog box that delivered the full-tilt Leslie sound without the need for a spinning box - brought to life in all its stereo analog detail, right in your DAW.

Classic to
chaotic

Capture that classic rotation for ultra-smooth stereo sheen, or opt for dizzying compound mayhem & synchronized modulation to explore your stereo field in a whole new way.

Spin any sound
in stereo

The rotary effect pairs perfectly with keys and guitars, but Rotary CLS-222 is built to experiment with any sound for everything from psychedelic beats to dense ambient soundscapes.

Creative
upgrades

Push Rotary CLS-222 into creative territory beyond its hardware predecessor with thoughtful upgrades like a valve preamp, separate bass & treble speeds, an interactive visualizer, and more.

Vive la révolution

Most creative effects that we use today started life as physical manipulations of recording equipment.

Delay was sound recorded to tape and played back at varied intervals; flanger was two reels playing the same recording, with one reel being subtly pressed to slow it down; the rotary effect consisted of motorized speaker drivers, spun on an axis and recorded with static microphones.

Inevitably, these heavy, unpredictable mechanisms moved aside for more practical solutions. In the case of the Leslie rotary speaker effect, that practical solution was the Dynacord® CLS-222.

Pre-amp

Push the authentically-modeled Op-amp circuit for aggressive crunch, or opt for something gradually warmer with the additional Valve option

Rotor Balance

Adjust the balance between the Bass and Treble rotors to sculpt your modulated sound into the right shape for your mix

Stereo Image

Continuously adjust the width of Rotary CLS-222's sound, from simple mono through to 120% 'Super Stereo'

Speed Control

Rev it up to Fast mode, which is 18x the Hz rate or 8x the synched rate: wind it down to 'Slow' for smooth classic keys sounds; or freeze Rotary CLS-222's motion in 'Stop mode

Output

Set the outout level of Rotary CLS-222's wet signal for extra control over your mix balance

Input filter

A simple high-pass filter: carve out as much or aS little low end as you want before your sound enters the circuitry

Global Speed controls

Separately control the emulated rotors for Bass and Treble frequencies, choose between Hz and Sync modes and even set the Treble rotor to spin at a ratio rate linked to the Bass rotor for unique compound modulation

Visualizer

See your modulated signal's behavior in real-time, plus choose from 4 phasing options to customize the interplay between the two emulated rotors

Distance controls

Tweak the size and shape of the emulated rotation to go from subtle circular swirls to dramatic Comb motion.

Dry/wet

Blend your dry signal with Rotary CLS-222's modulated output
