{"product_id":"orbitforge","title":"OrbitForge","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrbitForge is a 360° auto panner: it places any sound on a ring around the listener and moves it in time with your song.\u003c\/strong\u003e Spin it, swing it, ping-pong it, throw it behind you, or draw the motion yourself, all locked to bar 1 of your arrangement. \u003cstrong\u003e$39 launch price\u003c\/strong\u003e (reg. $49). One-time license, no subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWindows 10\/11, 64-bit: VST3 and Standalone, signed installer. macOS 10.13 or later: VST3 and AU, universal for Apple Silicon and Intel. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/free-demos\"\u003eTry the free demo\u003c\/a\u003e: full plugin, 25-minute sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA full circle, not a left-right slider.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture a ring around your head: 0° is in front of you, 90° is right, 180° is behind, 270° is left. Left and right use a constant-power pan, and \"behind you\" is built from real cues on top of it: REAR TONE rolls off the highs as the sound moves round the back, and DEPTH adds a small level drop and head shadow on the far ear. Feed it a stereo track and WIDTH turns it into two sources set that many degrees apart, so the whole image rotates as one instead of collapsing to mono.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLocked to bar 1.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick a SHAPE (SPIN, SWING, PING-PONG, TRIANGLE, RANDOM or DRAW) and a length from 8 bars down to 1\/32, triplets and dotted values included. With SYNC on, the motion is locked to your song position: bar 1 always starts the pattern the same way, and even RANDOM plays back identically every pass, so every bounce sounds the same. SYNC off gives you a free rate in Hz. RANGE, PHASE, SMOOTH and REVERSE shape the motion, and with SHAPE off, ANGLE is a plain automatable pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDraw your own motion.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern lane holds 128 points over one cycle. Draw on it and it repeats. CURVE drops in a starting shape (ramps, sine, stairs, figure 8, whirlpool, bounce, heartbeat, random) for you to bend, and STEP holds each point instead of gliding between them. Your drawing saves with the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTransparent and mono safe by default.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert OrbitForge on a stereo track and leave it parked: it passes the audio through untouched. MONO SAFE is on from the start, so the result still sums cleanly to mono on a club system or a phone speaker. Switch it off and the far ear gets a tiny time delay, which sounds more real on headphones and combs in mono once the sound moves. Your call, said plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e20 presets, from a slow orbit to a full panic room.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNine REALISTIC presets for motion you feel more than notice: Slow Orbit, Room Sway, Walk Past, Helicopter, Behind You, Wide Stage, Tape Drift, Over Shoulder and Passing Car. Eleven UNHINGED ones for when subtle is not the brief: Strobe, Glitch Scatter, Spiral Rush, Figure 8, Zigzag, Drunk, Whirlpool, Staircase, Bounce, Heartbeat and Panic Room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: VST3 effect (Windows and macOS), AU effect (macOS), Standalone app (Windows)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows: 10 \/ 11, 64-bit, signed installer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emacOS: 10.13 or later, universal (Apple Silicon and Intel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHosts: FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubase, Studio One, REAPER, Bitwig and other VST3 or AU hosts.

Universal VST3 and AU for Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 10.13 or later. The Mac build is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to approve it one time under System Settings \u0026gt; Privacy \u0026amp; Security \u0026gt; Open Anyway. After that it loads like any other plugin.

The mono sum stays flat at any angle. Turn it off only when you want the extra headphone realism and know the track will not be summed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens when a demo session ends?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound stops moving and passes through dry: a stereo track comes out exactly as it went in, and a mono track sits in the center, never muted. Reload for another 25 minutes, or enter a key and it picks up on the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a subscription?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Pay once, own the license. No account, no recurring charge, nothing that expires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes one license cover Mac and Windows?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
