Carousel is a rotary speaker (Leslie-style) effect for the Organelle.
Separate horn and drum rotors, each with its own speed and weight, so they speed up and slow down apart (the famous wind-up). Two virtual mics catch real Doppler pitch movement, the horn’s beam swinging past, cabinet reflections and a bit of room.
FEATURES
– 5 cabinets: 122 CLASSIC, 147 HI-FI, 145 SMALL, 3300 SOLID, 16 VIBRATONE (guitar, no horn)
– Slow / Fast / Stop (brake) from AUX, footswitch or the mod wheel (half moon), or ride the rotor speed continuously
– Brake with a stop position: the rotors wind down and park facing front, or at any angle you set
– Tube preamp drive with adjustable character
– Stereo with adjustable WIDTH and LO MONO (keeps the low end centred, great on a PA), or a clean single-mic MONO
– Every speed (rpm) and ramp time can be set, plus doppler, AM depth, wobble, crossover, body, bass / treble, mic angle and distance
– Expression pedal = volume (or drive / speed / balance)
– The LED follows the horn as it turns
CONTROLS
Encoder: turn = change page, press = Organelle menu, AUX + press = reset. 11 simple pages, knob catch (no jumps).
NOTES
Everything is saved by itself; works with Organelle Save Patch. Pure Data vanilla, no externals. Full guide in README.txt.
NEW IN v1.1
– Input now comes in through the Organelle’s standard input path, like other Organelle patches
