Chapter 16: Voce Plug-ins 57
Accessing Controls from a Control Surface
When using a control surface, all Voce Spin pa-
rameters are available whenever the plug-in is
focused. You only need to enable plug-in auto-
mation (as described previously) if you want to
record your adjustments as breakpoint automa-
tion.
To access additional Voce controls from a control
surface:
1 Focus the Voce Spin plug-in on your control
surface. All available parameters are mapped to
encoders, faders, and switches.
2 Adjust the control currently targeting the de-
sired parameter.
3 If necessary, use the previous/next Page con-
trols to access additional controls.
Tips and Tricks
The “One Mic Way Back In The Corner Of The
Room” Trick
Spin isn’t designed to sound like a rotating
speaker spinning all by itself in a large room.
Spin provides the sound of a miked rotating
speaker, the sound the producer and engineer
hear in the control room. But don’t let that stop
you from getting the sound you want!
To achieve the sound of a distant microphone
capturing the rotating speaker, run Spin using
the wide stereo preset. Now apply a room reverb,
remove any pre-delay, and adjust the wet/dry re-
verb balance until you get the distant sound
you’re looking for.
Spin into Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter
Try using the amplitude modulation effects of
Spin as an LFO driving the Moogerfooger Low-
pass Filter!
Distortion and Spin
To simulate overdriving the tube amp powering
the rotating speaker, apply distortion before
Spin, since, in the real-world signal path, the
amp distorts the signal before the speakers
throw the sound around. Among tons of other
great distortion sounds, the SansAmp PSA-1
plug-in provides distortion presets for both the
model 122 and model 147 rotating speakers.
Organ Signal Path
Likewise, when going for classic organ sounds,
route through the Voce Chorus/Vibrato before
Spin, as that’s the signal path in the B-3 organ.
To automate your adjustments, be sure to
enable automation for that parameter as de-
scribed above. See the Pro Tools Reference
Guide for complete track automation in-
structions.
