Scanner Vibrato is a virtual effect plug-in that recreates the scanner-Vibrato effect from a well-known tonewheel organ.
The original scanner-Vibrato was developed in the 1940s, and was an analog, electromechanical device, consisting of an analog delay line and a mechanical rotor ("scanner"). The rotor was driven by the organ's internal motor, and therefore its rate was fixed at about 6.9 Hz. The original scanner-Vibrato could produce both chorus and Vibrato effects, and it offered three depth presets.
