IK Multimedia Leslie Collection | Classic Rotating Speaker Tone Emulation Suite
Leslie Collection is designed for producers and performers seeking the classic rotating speaker sound. Through multiple model emulations, adjustable acceleration and deceleration, and microphone configurations, it delivers rich stereo dynamics and spatial depth to organs, guitars, and synthesizers, quickly establishing a classic swing and sense of air movement.
Key Product Features
- Multiple classic-style rotating speaker models covering both dual-rotor and single-rotor acoustic characteristics
- Slow/Fast/Brake three-speed operation with independently adjustable acceleration and deceleration times to recreate transition rhythms
- Adjustable Horn/Drum levels and crossover balance to shape layers from low-frequency vortex to high-frequency tremolo
- Microphone distance, polar pattern, and phase options to support close-field and far-field spatial capture
- Controllable preamp/power amp saturation and mechanical/wind noise—from clean to vintage warmth
- Stereo and mono modes, suitable as an insert on a track or as an auxiliary bus effect
- MIDI mapping and footswitch support for one-button speed changes or linked parameter control
- DAW parameter automation, A/B comparison, and user preset management for quick comparison and recall
- Supports high sample-rate processing to preserve rotating Doppler and amplitude/phase variation details
- Low-latency design suitable for live performance and recording workflows

Supported Applications and DAW Integration
Supports common DAWs via their corresponding plugin formats, including Pro Tools (AAX), Logic Pro (AU), and Cubase/Nuendo/Studio One/Ableton Live/Reaper (VST3). Can be inserted at the end of the tone chain for organs, electric pianos, synthesizers, or guitars and switched via MIDI footswitch or controller; it can also be placed on an auxiliary bus for parallel processing. Use DAW automation to record speed, microphone distance, and saturation changes to achieve a dynamically evolving rotating-space effect.
