Chorus (Blue) 166
Interestingly, you can take a PROFILE of your own rotary cabinet. If you get the chance to have a real rotary speaker
in your studio, as long as you can connect line or guitar signals, you can take a PROFILE of it. Please refer to the
chapter Taking a PROFILE for further instructions. Of course, the PROFILER already comes with a Rig “CK Rotary
Speaker” which includes a PROFILE of a Leslie® 147 captured with Shure® SM 57.
 Speed
Use switch “Rotary Speed” to switch between slow and fast rotation. You will notice that the change in rotation speed
is not immediate, thus recreating the acceleration and deceleration of the rotating speakers in the original.
 Stereo
Use the “Stereo” parameter to adjust the angle of the two virtual microphones relative to the speakers. If you want
the effect to be mono, set the angle to “0°” (center position). Negative values will reverse the rotation direction. Only
the high rotor is tapped by two microphones, the low rotor is mono with one microphone – a regular practice of
recording a rotary speaker, whether live or in a studio.
 Low-High Balance
Use the “High-Low Balance” parameter to adjust the balance between the outputs of the bass rotor and the tweeter
horn. Lower values result in a sound that is darker and duller, while higher values will result in a brighter, thinner
sound. For a faithful emulation of the classic Leslie® sound, leave the parameter set to the center position.
 Distance
Use the “Distance” parameter to adjust the distance of the microphones from the cabinet from 4 cm up to 50 cm. The
closer the microphones, the more intense the amplitude modulation (tremolo) will be. At the maximum setting, there
is no noticeable amplitude modulation.
