The Vertigo is a world-class Leslie simulator. In addition to re-creating
the vintage sound of the original, Vertigo can also produce great new
variations on the classic sound. Vertigo sports Fast, Slow, And Idle buttons
to set the speed of the rotating horn simulation. The “Mix” knob will adjust
the amount of “wet” (affected) signal compared to the “dry” (unaffected)
signal.

About ModFX Line
Alesis, a world leader in music and sound innovation, announces the release
of the ModFX line, a family of performance effects boxes that includes 14
individual units, each one providing a different set of sound effects and
signal processing. Of particular interest to musicians, DJs, and recordists
is the extremely versatile modulation section on several of the boxes,
providing unprecedented control over the sound of the effects, including the
ability to sync modulation to incoming music tempo. Every box in the ModFX
line digitally processes analog stereo signals and maintains a uniform,
friendly, uncomplicated user interface. Keyboardists, guitarists, and any
other studio or live performance artists will find the selection and variety
of the ModFX line well suited to a wide variety of musical applications.

With cool and catchy descriptive names such as Smashup, Nastify, Faze,
Crush, and Metavox, the ModFX line will capture the imagination of the
industry. Each product - designed with internal 28-bit digital processing -
allows the user to connect to multiple units within the family via the link
ports (in and out) located on either side of each box. These links allow the
units to pass digital audio, word clock and power between ModFX line family
members. Analog I/O is provided via 4 separate ¼ in. unbalanced connectors,
and each unit comes with an Alesis AC power supply. A 5th ¼ in. connector
allows an external footswitch to control the Bypass function. Each unit is
sized to fit a 1/3 U rack space; an optional rack mount adapter will also be
available.
