01Overview

PSP L'otary 2 is an effects plugin built to reproduce the rotating speaker sound often used with organs and electric instruments. PSP Audioware based its algorithm on two classic Leslie models, the 122 and the 147, and says it spent hundreds of hours refining the simulations. Beyond recreating the original tones, the plugin lets you set the high-frequency horn and low-frequency drum independently, so you can also build sounds the hardware cannot produce.

03In depth

Rotary Speaker Sound and Character

PSP Audioware describes L'otary 2 as an ultra high-quality emulation of a rotary speaker rather than a generic modulation effect. The developer states that the algorithm is based on the Leslie 122 and Leslie 147, the two models it treats as its reference points.

The plugin is designed to reproduce the classic sound of those speakers as closely as possible. Because the horn and drum can be shaped separately, you can also explore non-original results, such as a speaker with a static drum or a broken horn or drum engine.

Setup, Licensing and Compatibility

L'otary 2 runs in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats on Windows and macOS. It is a 64-bit plugin, so it needs a 64-bit host application.

A 30-day trial is available. Running the trial or activating a full license requires a free iLok user ID and the free iLok License Manager application. No hardware dongle is needed. The license can be activated on up to three locations, each a computer or a 2nd-generation or later iLok dongle, and moved later with the iLok License Manager.
