Rotor Cabinet eect
Rotor Cabinet eect overview
The Rotor Cabinet eect emulates the rotating loudspeaker cabinet of a Hammond organ.
Also known as the Leslie eect, it simulates both the rotating speaker cabinet, with and without
deectors, and the microphones that pick up the sound.

Basic Rotor Cabinet parameters
•
Rotation switch: Move to change the rotor speed between Slow, Brake, or Fast.
•
(Cabinet) Type pop-up menu: Click to choose a cabinet model:
•
Wood: Mimics a Leslie with a wooden enclosure, sounding like the Leslie 122 or 147 model.
•
Proline: Mimics a Leslie with a more open enclosure, similar to a Leslie 760 model.
•
Single: Simulates the sound of a Leslie with a single, full-range rotor, sounding like the
Leslie 825 model.
•
Split: Routes the bass rotor’s signal slightly to the left and the treble rotor’s signal toward
the right.
•
Wood & Horn IR: Uses an impulse response of a Leslie with a wooden enclosure.
•
Proline & Horn IR: Uses an impulse response of a Leslie with a more open enclosure.
•
Split & Horn IR: Uses an impulse response of a Leslie with the bass rotor signal routed slightly
to the left and the treble rotor signal routed more to the right.
•
Deector switch: Emulates a Leslie cabinet with the horn deectors removed or attached.
A Leslie cabinet contains a double horn, with a deector at the horn mouth. This deector
makes the Leslie sound. You can remove the deector to increase amplitude modulation and
decrease frequency modulation.
