344 Chapter 22 EVB3
Rotor Cabinet
The Hammond story can’t be fully told without a chapter on the rotor sound cabinets,
manufactured by Leslie. In fact, playing the B3 organ without a rotor cabinet is viewed
as a special effect these days. The EVB3’s rotor cabinet section simulates not only the
speaker cabinet itself, but also the microphones which pick up the sound.
Rotor Speed Buttons
These buttons switch the rotor speed as follows:
 Chorale: Slow movement
 Tremolo: Fast movement.
 Brake: Stops the rotor.
Cabinet Menu
You can choose between the following settings in the Cabinet menu:
 Off: Choose to switch off the rotor. There’s an alternative to switching the rotor effect
off: in the Brake mode, the speakers don’t rotate, but are still picked up by the
simulated microphones, in a random position (see paragraph “Rotor Speed” below).
You can also directly disable the Leslie simulation with the On/Off button beside the
Speed Control menu.
 Wood: Mimics a Leslie with a wooden enclosure, and sounds like the Leslie 122 or
147 models.
 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. The sound
resembles the Leslie 825 model.
 Split: The bass rotor’s signal is routed more to the left side, and the treble rotor’s
signal is routed more to the right side.
 Wood & Horn IR: This setting uses an impulse response of a Leslie with a wooden
enclosure.
 Proline & Horn IR: This setting uses an impulse response of a Leslie with a more open
enclosure.
 Split & Horn IR: This setting uses an impulse response of a Leslie with the bass rotor
signal routed more to the left side, and the treble rotor signal routed more to the
right side.
