AudioThing 11-31551 Motor Morphing Rotor Effect Plug-In

THINGS – MOTOR

Things is a series of small plugins covering a wide range of efects, focused on sound design and creativity.

Motor is a plugin efect that uses side-chaining to combine signals in new and
interesting ways: put in any two signals and they will dance around each other like courting birds drunk on fermented cherries. Use it to gentle morph between sounds or rhythmically cut them up, afecting both volume and spatial position. Add life to the plainest signals with vibrato or destroy them in interesting ways with extreme modulation speeds.

Motor takes cues from history: “The Crystal Palace” built by Dave Young for the BBC Radiophonic workshop. This one-of-a-kind tool allowed speed-dependent switching of up to sixteen audio channels. It did so in an almost steampunk fashion, by employing a big capacitor rotating on a Motor. The efects it created reached from sublime to almost granular, a major achievement at the time.
