Rhodes Music has introduced V-Pan, a new effect plugin for Mac & Windows, based on the classic ‘vibrato’ stereo panning effect of ’70s Rhodes pianos.
And, for a limited time, it’s available for free.
Features:
- Directly modeled from the unique Rhodes MK8 hardware Vari-Pan circuit.
- Left/Right panning LED’s.
- Continuously variable waveform for maximum sonic flexibility.
- Rate goes from super-slow right up into audio rates for synth-esque and ring mod-like effects.
- Deep depth control.
- Parameter value readout.
- Waveform Slew and Smooth controls to further shape/customise the panning waveshape.
- BPM sync.
Pricing and Availability;
V-Pan is available as a free download, through the end of Jan 2024 (normally $39.95 USD).
FYI:
“Please note that as part of installation process, the programs Codemeter and Gorilla Manager will be installed on your device. For your Rhodes plugins to work properly, both of these applications must be running in the background. Note that these are lightweight applications that place little or no demands on your computer and store all information locally (no personal data is transmitted to the cloud).”
Also it’s required to agree to this:
“By filling in this form you understand that you will be contacted by Rhodes about Rhodes community information and new Rhodes products. Rhodes will not pass on your email to any third party in keeping with the Rhodes Music Ltd privacy policy”
Not complaining, but I think these things should be shown more upfront.
Big pass until they don’t force you to install too many things apart from the plugin itself
