Mark, I"m not at home to verify, but last nite, after packing up my gear and discovering that Morley ABY box, I plugged it in (with no instrument) to check its efficacy.  What I noticed is that where the V stops is random, at least visually that's what's indicated by the LEDs.  Sometimes it would slow to stop with only the yellow light (lower rotor) lit, sometimes with the red (upper) lit, sometimes with both lit, sometimes with none lit.

As you know, when a real Leslie is braked to stop, the upper rotor randomly stops and the horn can be pointed anywhere in the cabinet. That, of course can alter the sound dramatically. I would appreciate all any current Ventilator owners (I'm really jealous!) could check out the sound variations when the Vent is switched from fast or slow mode to stop mode. That's going to interest me a lot because I'm planning on running my Electro3 stereo into the Ventilator and will be playing all the other sounds residing in the Electro3 as well as the organ sounds. Curious minds need to know!
