midinut Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I posted this over at "the other place" and wanted to see what kind of response it gets over here as well. Also to give a heads up if you haven't heard of it. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried one of these on keys yet? I'm sure it's no Dynacord but was wondering if it might be an inexpensive alternative. http://line6.com/tonecore/rotomachine.html Hardware: Yamaha: MODX7 | Korg: Kronos 88, Wavestate | ASM: Hydrasynth Deluxe | Roland: Jupiter-Xm, Cloud Pro, TD-9K V-Drums | Alesis: StrikePad Pro| Behringer: Crave, Poly D, XR-18, RX1602 | CPS: SpaceStation SSv2 | Controllers: ROLI RISE 49 | Arturia KeyLab Essentials 88, KeyLab 61, MiniLab | M-Audio KeyStation 88 & 49 | Akai EWI USB | Novation LaunchPad Mini, | Guitars & Such: Line 6 Variax, Helix LT, POD X3 Live, Martin Acoustic, DG Strat Copy, LP Sunburst Copy, Natural Tele Copy| Squier Precision 5-String Bass | Mandolin | Banjo | Ukulele Software: Recording: MacBook Pro | Mac Mini | Logic Pro X | Mainstage | Cubase Pro 12 | Ableton Live 11 | Monitors: M-Audio BX8 | Presonus Eris 3.5BT Monitors | Slate Digital VSX Headphones & ML-1 Mic | Behringer XR-18 & RX1602 Mixers | Beyerdynamics DT-770 & DT-240 Arturia: V-Collection 9 | Native Instruments: Komplete 1 Standard | Spectrasonics: Omnisphere 2, Keyscape, Trilian | Korg: Legacy Collection 4 | Roland: Cloud Pro | GForce: Most all of their plugins | u-he: Diva, Hive 2, Repro, Zebra Legacy | AAS: Most of their VSTs | IK Multimedia: SampleTank 4 Max, Sonik Synth, MODO Drums & Bass | Cherry Audio: Most of their VSTs | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DafDuc Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Cool - how much? I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored. So...three words: "Tower of Polka." - Calumet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fortner Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Sweetwater's price is $119... lists for $165. I gotta try one of these.

DafDuc Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Okay, now what are the chances of getting it popped inside my D-152 right before the preamp? Even just a passable Leslie sound without having to take up real estate for the speaker would be [brownacid] like heaven, man... [/brownacid] I played in an 8 piece horn band.

JMcS Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Here is another one: http://www.dlseffects.com/roto_sim.php Click on the sounds button, there are samples using an organ of some type. And this one comes with a built in 140 watt amp: http://www.polytoneamps.com/Taurus%20Elite.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DafDuc Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Wow, $300 for the RotoSim. Too rich for my blood. I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored. So...three words: "Tower of Polka." - Calumet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfred Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 bump! anybody currently using the line 6 or another low$ sim device? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknot Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 How about this one? http://www.bossus.com/index.asp?pg=1&tmp=148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midinut Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 The Boss lists for $299 - Sweetwater has it for $225. Not as cheap as the Line 6. Heard the audio demos of the Line 6 but can't get the audio demo for the Boss to work. Alright, who wants to play the guinea pig here? Mikey? He'll try anything!

Unknot Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Yes, but does the Line 6 have a "Dazzling virtual-rotor display"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midinut Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Okay ... you got me there ... but for the difference in price I can get me one of those new fangled lava lamps I saw a post about (http://www.laserpodusa.com/)! I'm really more interested in how the Leslie simulator actually sounds. I notice in reading about it that it "allegedly" models a 145 and a 122 Leslie as well as a Fender Vibrotone. I own a GuitarPort for my Strat and find the amp and effects models to be very good. If this is anything near as good as their other stuff it may be worth considering.

Mr. Nightime Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 You know, some of the Leslie Sims sound good until you bring them out on stage, then they start sounding very cheap. I'm not saying these are the same way, but I'm willing to have the stage real estate to have a real rotating horn. I'm using the Motion Sound Pro3TM, and flat love it. Sure it costs a lot more than a sim box, but the sound quality is worth it. Listening to the sound files on the unit that midinut posted about, it didn't sound too bad, but where is the horn/drum combination? I only heard one during the ramp. Any good sim has to have both horn & drum, IMO. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

JimmyJimJim Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hey is that Boss sim out yet? My local Boss dude said it's pretty much the leslie/amp sim section out of the VR760... which may be good or bad, depending whether you dig it! Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
