Ventilator II : Leslie in a box

11 years ago

My friend and I have been discussing about Leslie and it's simulations for some time before we ran into this little box. The only thing remaining now is to some day raise money for the real Leslie, for everything else, there is the Ventilator.

Ventilator has the most realistic emulation of Leslie that i have ever heard, including software plugins and simulators on keyboards. The warmth and color of tone that it produces is remarkable and almost indistinguishable to real one. I know that Hammond purists will always have something to say about this, but for live situations that require portability and functionality, Ventilator wins. It has all the controls for shaping your virtual Leslie, and some of them would be almost impossible to set on a real one. The chassis is strong and very well built with protected knobs. The only thing that should maybe be lacking is option for saving multiple presets, but that is not really a problem - where would the fun of twisting pots in realtime situations be?
