But before you can use these controls to warp a sound, you need to set up the four modulation FX. There is also the Size control which sets the delay for the feedback loops and interacts with Feed to go from subtle movement to a kind of wide reverb/delay overlaid with the modulations. It is definitely one you’ll want to tweak. At the bottom middle of the window is Feed which controls the amount of circular feedback from each individual FX module to the input of the next FX, round and round again! This is a fun control and about the only one I found that can drive the output against the stops. The main controls for the modulation blending are below the Orbitron title with the spin mode window (Random in the above graphic), a Range setting that controls the depth of the modulation mix, and Speed that controls the rate of modulation mix (or alternately a Bars window when Sync mode is used). Same for In/Out which provide +/- 24 dB of gain trim before and after all Orbitron processing. Nice touches are that the Wet/Dry and In/Out have link buttons so that they cross-track – if Wet is turned down to 70%, Dry moves to 30%, etc. The available methods to control the "joystick" are Manual (manually adjusted using a mouse or automated in your DAW), Free (joystick dot rotates at a fixed rate, from once in 20 seconds to once in 2 seconds), Sync (rotational rate synced to the DAW tempo), or a nicely implemented Random mode where the dot wanders around on its own!Īt the top of the main Orbitron window are some global controls: Wet/Dry, In/Out on the left and, on the right are the randomization control, A/B comparison, Undo/Redo, Panic (!), and the Preset manager. As you can see in the illustration, there is a “joystick” graphic that controls the contribution of the four FX modules to the output. Orbitron is another fun audio mangler from JMG (aka Jason Gibbins) that provides up to four different simultaneous modulation FX with adjustable blending that itself can be automated using DAW automation, or run using three built-in modes.
