Memphis Style
: check this parameter to unplug the motors that drive the bass
rotor. This way, the bass stays motionless while the horns keep spinning.

Front Stop:
this very sought after function causes the horn and the bass rotor
to stop always in a “sweet” spot every time the brake is engaged. VB3-II uses a
simple algorithm that produces this effect in a very pleasant and seamless way
that you won't even notice when you're braking the rotors.
Notes on the rotation speeds.
All parameters in the edit pages, whenever moved, display the readout value in
either MIDI or actual value, when available. As for the Rotary speaker's rotation
speeds and times, values are shown in Hz and Seconds. To convert Hz to RPM
(revolutions per minute), just multiply the Hz value by 60. For example, the horn,
when the Horn Slow parameter is set at 64, rotates at 0,77 Hz which translates in 46,2
RPM. All the speed values can be varied between 50% and 150% of the center value.
The ramp up and ramp down times are in seconds, and can be varied between 50%
and 500% of the center value.
Center values are:
–
Horn slow: 0,77 Hz 46,2 RPM
→
–
Horn fast: 6,9 Hz 414 RPM
→
–
Bass slow: 0,72 Hz 43,2 RPM
→
–
Bass fast: 6,4 Hz 384 RPM
→
–
Horn ramp up: 1 second
–
Horn ramp down: 0,8 seconds
–
Bass ramp up: 6 seconds
–
Bass ramp down: 3,5 seconds
These times are average values as measured by a wide sample of well working and
serviced vintage Leslie 122, 142, 147 and 145 models. Due to centrifugal energy,
when the Rotors ramp down from fast to brake and the Front Stop option is disabled,
they take a bit longer to get to full stop position.
