Voce SPIN
Half rack space analog effect, MIDI control, dual rotor, many
pre-sets, knobs for volume, balance, overdrive, MIDI channel, and
preset select.
Motion Sound PRO-3
This "simulator" may belong in a separate category from other
Leslie simulators listed here, which use electronic signal
processing to simulate the Leslie effect. The PRO-3 uses an actual
rotating treble horn and a titanium driver in tandem with a
stereo/mono bass rotor simulation signal output through 1/4" front
panel jacks. The player feeds an organ signal to PRO-3's 1/4" mono
input, and routes the PRO-3 low frequency output signal to a
keyboard amplifier. The PRO-3's rotating horn characteristics are
modeled on the Leslie 147.
The PRO-3 dimensions are 6.5" x 20" x 16.5" and it weighs 26 Lbs.
The front panel is vertically centered on the left third of the
unit front. Two rails run along the bottom from front to back and
are designed to straddle the handle of a keyboard amp. The horn
compartment is vented so that about 60% of the sound comes through
the front and 40% through the rear and sides, simulating a 147
horn with the back off and turned around. The horn amplifier is 30
watts RMS with .3% distortion, and is very loud.
