Subject:Re: Will Ventilator Increase Availability of Real Leslies?

Yes and any one B3 will sound different from the rest. Same for
leslies. A great sounding leslie is good to find same for a B. With a
sim, you get the sameness down but then you're glued to that sameness
and the sim is not listening to your song, you are. A drum machine may
keep perfect time, but then it's not listening to you play. It can't
ineract with you. Inertia may be scientific, but it's the meat and
potatoes of a leslie.
