Spanner Rotate Functionality

Hi,

Not sure of this has been asked before, but just wondering if it would be possible to have the rotate functionality which is currently available via keyboard shortcut, to also be available to modulate via an LFO or perhaps as a single parameter to automate (rather than each channel input).

Thx :wrench:

You can rotate all pucks using an extra modifier (check the ? Button)

You can also do it using a hardware controller. On those you will find a “meta parameter “ called spin and one called rotate. Rotate twists 180 in each direction. Spin will spin continuously as long as you hold the touch sensitive knob. Turn further and it spins faster.

So I guess the only way to automate this is using the iPad app? or are there other hardware controllers for this?

Yeah, basically any avid hardware controller as well as the old HUI style. Pretty much any controller that runs with pro tools.

Hey sorry to revive an old thread. The spin feature is great, but it feels really sensitive with no way of slowing it down. By the time the time I’m a quarter of the way up or down the fader, it’s spinning at an unusable speed. Is there a way to lower the sensitivity?

It was designed to spin faster with a larger fader push. Hold the knob slightly right of center and it should spin slowly.

Is that not what’s happening?

Also you know about the other control, rotate?

For Spin I have it set on a fader, but pushing the fader even to value 1 on either direction spins it fairly fast. By the time I get to value 25 out of 100 it’s an uncontrollable spin.

I used to rotate for a while, until today when I read this thread. The thing is I’m currently working on something the requires me to spin some audio for around 4 minutes so I’m constantly running out of fader with rotate.

testing here just now using Spanner 4.1.1 and it’s working as expected.
Which surface are you using? Which version of Spanenr, PT, OS etc?

For me a value of +1 on the fader gives a rotation speed of about 4sec per 360deg

Ah yeah I’m on 4.0.11 controlling with an S6 on PT 2024.6 on Ventura.

This is at a dub stage so I can’t update Spanner, but it could definitely be that.

Ah wait, 4 second 360 spin sounds about what’s happening right now. Yeah, in our case we wish we could start even slower and very gradually speed up over a few minutes.

But that’s fine we can use rotate for this.
