The holy grail of LESLIE VST - really

Not sure if this has been mentioned here but PSP has released L'otary, I have D/Led and demo'ed and wanted to share that this is the best LESLIE SIM I have ever heard.  I recently read here about MELDA sim and demo'ed it.... it was better than AMPLITUBE's effect, than in my follow up research saw PSP's offering.
 
The thing is AMAZING, it sounds as good as my real leslie (actually better) and its ROOM (space) sounds are spot on.  They even have the leslie noise (that is adjustable) just in case you like to hear that amplified, spinning rotor sound added to the output.
 
So, if you have any DI'ed type sampled organ VST or just want to run vocals or guitar tracks through a LESLIE... this is the ONE.  Finally, after all these years, someone NAILED this missing link.

PS - warning - the thing is a CPU hog in its current form.

It does sound really good. Definitely a CPU hog though, even the UI updates become very choppy. I hope they fix it.

PS - it is on special from PSP for $69 until Feb 1 (then it goes to $99), JRR SHOP has an auto group buy that will bring the final price down to under $60 (I think it was $58).... if you like it, jump on it before the price goes up in another week or so.

OK I went to JRR Shop and purchased it for $58. But really, why am I then forced to first create a PSP account just to activate the plugin I paid for?

*groans*
 
Because the offer discounts based on how much you. When you create the PSP account they can keep track of what you own.
 
BTW, I hate to tell you this but nearly all software now days requires an account with the creating/developer company (usually to activate, ala Cakewalk etc.)

That's what I was going to say why it needs a restart, because of the REG entry it makes once you activate the full license.  I think it still works in DEMO mode after you activate so the next time you cycle the machine, it will then be activated and not in DEMO mode.
 
But, I have been mixing a song with it for a few hours now and it is as outstanding as it first appeared, you can really modify the tone of the LESLIE and put it exactly where  you need in the mix.
 
BTW, I don't work for or have any relationship other than customer with PSP and JRR, as a matter of fact, I never really took a look at PSP before since I am a UAD disciple for mixing and mastering plugins. Somehow, I already own PIANO VERB from PSP and only saw that after I registered the Leslie VST, it was in my account and I don't ever remember buying it or using it.... so I am going to check that out (we never have enough reverb options).

SilkTone.... great, sounds like you are digging the sound too.... I am amazed at how good it sounds.  Hate to say it, but it sounds better to me than me throwing a mic rig around my leslie and recording LIVE....
 
I know for sure, it is a lot easier to set up the VST.

Jim, whats you take on the distortion, is it good at really dirty sounds?

It's does it better than my 760 but I would have to give the distortion a B-, not terrible but the VST on its own isn't going to give you that Jon Lord sound (RIP).
 
How ya been by the way?

Update, PSP has a released an update that reduces the CPU load.  Haven't installed it yet but wanted to let you know.

Hope you guys checked the Blue3 leslie from GG-Audio. Did the beta and been a fan ever since.

is that a zombie joke :) 
 
since it's been resurrected can I ask Fleer how the Blue3 stacks up against the UVI attempt?

hi  - great plugin but i'm having trouble getting Sonar Artist to assign
MIDI to PSP L'otary2 speed control - just keeps saying not assigned

Try putting your CC automation lane on the audio track rather than on the MIDI track. If you're using an Instrument Track, split it out into separate MIDI and audio tracks. I don't use L'otary, but this is how I do it with Melda's MVintageRotary.
