I looked briefly at that "Spin" leslie, looks pretty cool. I thought it was kinda strange that they included a "Stop" position, but more so that they put Stop smack in the middle of Fast and Slow. Don't know how user friendly that would be with a ModWheel. What if you have a ModWheel that automatically springs back to the off position, and can't stop it in the middle of the arc? Just at first glace that didn't seem very practical.

What you describe is a mode for bender-lever only (a joystick). I don't recall any other software leslie is (or was at the time of releasing Spin) able to do the same. That's a brilliant way of controlling speed, that seem closest to the real thing - you nugde the lever right (bender) for fast or left for slow, just like the real half-moon switch! For special case if you want to stop, you push it far forward (modulation) but of course that will be used occasionally, that's why the "dead" area. Beside that there are tons of other options for controlling the whole system including your own MIDI Learn. Modwheel is no any problem. Above all that, what matters is the sound... mmm... select Custom leslie and listen :)
 
and no cpu hit at all.

sounds pretty good, listened to some of the demos, I like the price too, not outrageous. Here's a good tune with B-3/Leslie, funky grooves from Down To The Bone.  A lot of their stuff is great if you're going for a drive, one of my favorite driving music bands. Check it out...

This one's good too, not a lot of B3 just good driving music...

Ahh...Kirk Franklin, I am familiar! Nice. Yeah that's a stock Gospel B3 for sure.
 
Something strange, until now I haven't actually tried recording with the Leslie, and when I did just now, it seems the automation for the rotary switch/FX isn't getting recorded. So when I play back the recording there's no Rotary FX in the places I flipped the switch to Fast, it just plays as if I never touched the modwheel at all. I checked to make sure Automation Read and Write were enabled on the plugin window, still nothing.
 
The only thing I can think of is it's either I have to try switching the configuration to "configure as synth", or maybe the Midi Event filter I have on DimPro B3 organ preset that I used to cancel out the DimPro modwheel data signal is somehow affecting things. Not sure on this one.
 
**UPDATE: I just tried using the VST2 version instead of VST3, and that seems to work consistently.  The Automation Read and Automation Write must be on, and as Simeon mentioned earlier, the Leslie also has to be in focus during recording. I also see that written Automation graph shows up over the track whenever the Rotary Switch was used.  I was also able to bounce the track to audio, and it keeps the Rotary effect in tact in the mixdown. I have not tested this extensively but so far I've had success with it.

 

Ok this is strange, now that I have the Leslie working, my Modwheel is not working at all with any of the other VSTi, tried with Lounge Lizard and some presets in DimPro including a couple of Lead sounds that should respond to the wheel, nothing at all. Doesn't even work in a separate, brand new project that doesn't include the Leslie plugin. Strange!...anyone? Must be missing something here, maybe has something to do with the ACT setup I used?

maybe has something to do with the ACT setup I used?

that would be my guess, have you tried to disable it and see what happens?

It's the only thing I can think of. I haven't tried doing that yet, is there a way to disable it without completely removing/deleting it altogether?
 
I'd just rather not have to set it all back up again now that it's working with the rotary switch, unless absolutely necessary.

maybe try to uncheck 'Enable' in the ACT window and/or in Preferences>Control Surfaces

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
 
Are you in the new forum? This one is closing today, just wondering if you're already registered there under the same name?
 
Fyi, I'm there already, but my screen name there is slightly different.... Musikman1
