Orbits is designed around two rotary effects, one fed by the left
input, one by the right. The output of both rotary effects is fed
to echoes configured as a stereo pair. The left echo feeds the
right output, and vice-versa, causing the echoes to revolve on
opposing sides of the stereo field from the rotary effects.
ENVELOPE decreases both rotary speeds, so that louder signals
cause the rotary effects to slow down. The left and right inputs are
processed independently, allowing you to experiment with two input
sources. You can, for example, send a voice into the left, and a guitar
into the right, and each can have its own independent rotary effect.
To accurately simulate a cabinet rotary speaker with high-fre-
quency and low-frequency rotors, use a mixer with low and high EQ
on its sends feeding Vortex left and right inputs.
