Generally a Leslie is only 3 speeds - fast (aka tremolo) slow (chorale) and off (stopped). In a vi that's all you have access to. A lot of Hammond drawbar organ emulations have the speed controlled by the modulation wheel on a synth. That's one thing to look at for speed change.

If one is using an external Leslie effect like PSP's L'otary you can program the speed control via any number of MIDI cc's. The plugin has both a button to switch between the discrete speeds and there's also a programmable lever to go continously from slow to fast and back again.
