All user reviews for the Neo Instruments Ventilator II

For a few months I have this little beast and although I'm not disappointed. Having as reference the internal Leslie Hammond SK2 my Leslie simulator and a Korg CX3 1979 version (underwhelming but not bad for the time) and a multitude of video / audio files, I confess that I can not base me in relation to a real Leslie 122 physically heard.

All I can say is that we should not see it as a simulator "Leslie effect" but rather as a Leslie simulator at all. Clearly, the Doppler effect is well reproduced but also significantly changes the sound to be closer to the amplification of the 122 Leslie.

For technology, a wide range of settings available to us with a system of bi-functional knobs where you can access the secondary function by pressing the on button and slow / fast at the same time. So out of the question to access full live. The worries, also, is that it is worthwhile to remember what we did in secondary function because once it returns to the primary position and the knobs are replacement the configuration is no longer visible.

For that price, a button for each setting could be possible I think. Some features such as secondary setting speed or slow the sound level could be useful for fast access. In short, it remains settings at hand that are not necessarily true with Leslie but left to take advantage of technology, so enjoy.

For overdrive, you have to put a little below the limit of the "peak" in terms of its volume to get the best. However, to play Deep Purple, I shall give a little distortion of my SK2 over if this is not enough for his garish.

After some tests with / without my SK2, we notice that the sound is clear, distinct, distinctive and extra bite. One can almost hear the acoustic wood and has a better sense of space. I even used anything Stop mode for Leslie 122 amp simulator.

However, since I am also low on the organ in one of my groups, I have a user on my organ that allows you to play the bass pedals by hand on a section of Lower. This is where I noticed a loss in the low frequencies with the Ventilator. It is therefore necessary to give a boost bass in the sound part.
