PSP L'otary Leslie sim

[musicman691]

PSP has released a Leslie simulator called L'otary; 14 day fully functional trial and currently on sale for $69US until the end of January. Afterwards it goes up to $99. Currently demoing it and it's pretty decent; certainly better than the emulation NI has in Vintage Organs. You get two models - a 122 and a 147. With enough controls to really come up with different variations. Like some plugins that model everything of a particular thing PSP even has a control to vary the audible level of the rotors themselves. You know when you're next to a real Leslie on fast and you hear the noise of the rotors? Yup - got that. You can go from totally silent to having your ear right next to the cabinet.

Rotor speed selectable via front panel of the gui as well as by sustain pedal or mod wheel. Cool thing with using the mod wheel is you can continuosly vary the speed from slow to fast and not just jump from one to the other. The bad thing is if you use the mod wheel for a synth that's on the same MIDI channel or the sustain pedal for say a piano it also changes the Leslie speed. What is needed is a way to remap the plugin to use other MIDI controllers. You can set the plugin to different MIDI channels but that doesn't do any good in a live situation. If you're recording you can set the plugin to a different MIDI channel and change speeds from the gui front panel. Not convenient; or you could do it in two passes but yet again - not convenient.
