to insure your enjoyment of performing music.
The Leslie ^® models 2101, 2102 and 2103 contain two rotors to produce the world-renowned Leslie Speaker "Sound-In-Motion ^® ." The sound is "separated" with the highs reproduced by a horn rotor and the lows reproduced by a two 5" speakers with electronic rotor capability. Both the mechanical and electronic rotors can be operated in two modes - Fast (Tremolo) or Slow (Chorale).
In addition, there is a stationary channel designed to accommodate the audio signal from another sound source such as a synthesizer or external sound module. This audio signal is handled by three speakers - the two 13cm speakers which also handle the lower frequencies for the rotary channel, and two 5cm dome tweeters for the high frequencies.
The Model 2101 cabinet comes in a textured black finish with side handles for professional portability, the Model 2102 cabinet is finished in silver and the Model 2103 is finished in a rich Walnut.

♦ A Brief History of the Leslie Speaker
The Leslie Speaker was first developed in the late 1930's by Donald J. Leslie as a way to improve the sound of then-current I Hammond Organs. Mr. Leslie found that rotating a baffle in front of a stationary speaker added a very pleasing “tremolo-type” sound to organ music. This technique is a musical application of the “Doppler effect,” which is the apparent variation in pitch that a stationary listener hears from a moving sound source. The loudness of the sound also appears to vary, and it is this combination of frequency (vibrato) and amplitude (tremolo) modulation that give Leslie Speakers their characteristic sound.
In the majority of Leslie Speakers, there are actually two rotating baffles and two speakers. One speaker handles the high frequencies and is mounted in the upper part of the cabinet. The baffle and motor for this speaker are collectively called the Horn Rotor. The other larger speaker reproduces the bass or pedal frequencies and uses a larger baffle, and is therefore called the Bass or Low Rotor.

B --> C["800-"]
C --> D["15" sp. rotor"]
D --> E["40 watt amp"]
E --> F["sg rail nout"]
G["2-speed foam rotor"] -.-> E
In addition to rotating a baffle at a high rate of speed to produce Tremolo, it is also possible to create a pleasing “Chorale” or “celeste” effect by rotating the baffle at a slow rate of speed - hence the rotor speed designations of Fast and Slow. The Chorale or effect is similar the effect produced by two ranks of pipes being slightly out of tune with each other and being played simultaneously on a pipe organ.
♦ Why Leslie Speed Controls?
For many years, Leslie Speakers only had one speed - Fast or Tremolo. Even after the Chorale speed was introduced in the mid '60's. variations in the basic speed were introduced by relocating the motor drive belt to a different pulley to make the baffles turn either faster or slower. Although each Leslie Speaker cabinet was and is carefully calibrated at the factory, several factors such as motor age and placement of the belts on the pulleys can affect the speeds of the rotors as well as the time required for the rotors to speed up (Rise Time), slow down (Fall Time) or come to a complete stop (Brake Time).

controlling the speaker from another instrument via MIDI
Your Leslie Speaker gives you the capability to control the Leslie parameters (Slow Speed, Fast Speed, Rise Time, Fall Time, Brake Time, Horn Resonance, Microphone Angle, Microphone Distance) via MIDI. The Low Rotor is controlled through software via DSP, while the Horn Rotor uses a special brushless DC motor which responds to incoming MIDI Controller data. Below is an example of how to do this.
In this way:
- Non-Hammond keyboards such as synthesizers, MIDI master keyboards, etc., can control the rotors and sound of this Leslie Speaker without going through the 11-pin Leslie interface.
- Hammond Organ models which have Leslie parameter controls in the Information Center Display such as XB-1, XK-2, XE-1, CMS-100-series, A-305, and XT/XI I-series home organs can control the rotors and sound characteristics of the Leslie Speaker in addition to the built-in digital Leslie simulator.
NOTE: In order for the above to work, the MIDI NRPN must be "ON." Please consult the Owner's Playing Guide for your instrument for instructions on how to do this.)
Example of Controlling the Advanced Features of the Leslie via MIDI
The example below applies to all the Advanced Features. The XK-2 screens are shown; however, the related screens of the Hammond XB-1, XM-1, XT/XI I-series, XE-1, CMS-100 series and A-305 will also control the Advanced Features. The example shown is Slow Speed.
TRY THIS:
- Turn MIDI NRPN "ON" using the MIDI Edit Menu of your organ.

BNK.NUM PRESET NAME L#1-1 SLOW SPED1 HORN ROTR 36rpm LESLIE MANUAL DRAWBARS- Now select the option you wish by doing the following:
Use either the PAGE “▶” or the PAGE “◀” Select Touch Button to select between Horn and Low Rotors.
Use the VALUE “▲” Select Touch Button to increase the number setting.
Use the VALUE "▼" Select Touch Button to decrease the number setting.
You can use this same method to control whatever Advanced Features your Hammond Organ gives you access to via the Information Center Display.
NOTE: All of the Advanced Features available on your Leslie Speaker may not be able to be controlled using your Hammond Organ. Also, your Hammond Organ may not give you the full range of choices available when you use the controls of the Leslie Speaker to program the Advanced Features.
♦ SPECIAL NOTE: Connecting older digital Hammond Organs via MIDI
Connecting using the XB-2, XB-5 or A-205
When connecting the above instruments, the ONLY Advanced Feature you will be able to utilize is, the ability to control the speed of the rotors using the Modulation Wheel. Because the control codes are different on these organs, none of the Information Center-driven Advanced Features will work through the Leslie.
Connecting the XB-3/XC-3 or XB-3A/XC-3A
Because these organs have no Information Center-driven Leslie Advanced Features, the only Advanced Feature you will be able to utilize is, the ability to control the speed of the rotors using the Modulation Wheel. The CU-2 Control Unit must be connected in order to use this feature, since the Modulation Wheel is part of this control unit.
Also, the second wheel must be programmed as a Modulation Wheel and not as the Leslie Speed Control switch. Please consult the Owner's Playing Guide of the organ for instructions on how to do this.

NRPN- "Non Registered Parameter Number"
The expansive range named NRPN is provided in the Control Change, which function is specific on each equipment and not defined in the MIDI Standard.
When you use it, designate the parameter to control, by gibing NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB (cc#98 and 99), and the set the value of the designated parameter by the Data Entry MSB(cc#6).
Once the NRPN parameter is designated, all the data entry received into the same channel after that is regarded as the change of the value of the parameter. To avoid any mis-operation, we suggest you to set RPN Null (RPN = 7F 7F), after setting the necessary parameter value.
