I can see where getting a real leslie to mix with the players on stage
specially in a small room becomes a problem and the use of a DI with a
sim would help everyone get a bead on their own instruments. Since
things are moving towards a more controlled stage environment, IEM's
etc, space and weight saving, sounding more like a recording, samples,
the more control of each instrument organs included, is a desired
thing. Real leslies were often mic'd off stage in another part of the
venue and sometimes put in anvil cases to isolate them all the more. I
have heard some live band performances of name acts where the sim on a
Korg clone was all that was supplying organ and depending on the
ability of the organist, had a convincing enough Hammond/Leslie
character to pull off the representation. And in many situations, the
"representation" is all that's called for in a Hammond tone.

>>>This is true but, sacrilege as it may be to say it, the effect of a
proper
Leslie (rotary) speaker is not always a good thing. Since I bought a
Nord
and started using the sym (now the ventilator) everyone in the band has
been
much happier. The effect is there but it is focused rather than
bouncing off
every surface available. The problems in rehearsals when in a small
room it
just became mud and then on stage when the drummer moaned that "I" was
too
loud yet I couldn't hear a thing are much less likely to occur.

Don't get me wrong I saw a band today with an M and a 147 and the sound
was
wonderful >>>
