Logic Pro Rotor Cabinet effect motor controls
The Rotor Cabinet effect provides the following motor control parameters.
Motor parameters
• Acceleration knob: Set the time it takes to get the rotors up to speed (set with the
Max Rate knob) and the length of time it takes for them to slow down. The Leslie
motors need to physically accelerate and decelerate the speaker horns in the cabinets,
and their power to do so is limited. Turn Acceleration to the far left position to switch to
the preset speed immediately. As you rotate the knob to the right, it takes more time to
hear the speed changes. At the default centered position, the behavior is Leslie-like.
• Max Rate knob: Set the maximum possible rotor speed.
• Motor Control pop-up menu: Choose different speeds for the bass and treble rotors.
Use the Rotation switch to choose slow, brake, or fast mode.
• Normal: Both rotors use the speed determined by the Rotation switch position.
• Inv (inverse): In fast mode, the bass compartment rotates at a fast speed, while
the horn compartment rotates slowly. This is reversed in slow mode. In brake mode,
both rotors stop.
• 910: The 910 (also known as “Memphis”), stops the bass drum rotation at slow
speed, while the speed of the horn compartment can be switched. This is useful
when you’re after a solid bass sound but still want treble movement.
• Sync: The acceleration and deceleration of the horn and bass drums are roughly the
same. This sounds as if the two drums are locked, but the effect is clearly audible
only during acceleration or deceleration.
Note: If you choose Single Cabinet from the (Cabinet) Type pop-up menu, the Motor
Control setting is not relevant because there are no separate bass and treble rotors in
a single cabinet.
