Perhaps that's why they consider it being "under construction". I would love to have a convincing leslie emulation which gives me that bell-like, throaty and airy quality of a real mchanical leslie. Even cheap European leslie copies from the late 1970s/early 1980s (I own a Solton TurboJet and an Elkatone, both working just fine) - when in good electrical and mchanical condition - beat the crap out of any leslie emulation I ever heard - even when recorded with a standard three mic configuration.

Agreed. Even the good emulations (Korg, Clavia, Diversi) don't sound even as good as that acrylic-sided Leslie in the Light My Fire video.

Although, each year the bar is raised ...
