The 2101MKII Leslie Rotary Speaker from Hammond delivers the classic "Sound-In-Motion" effect of a true rotor from a compact, 200W, 3-channel keyboard amplifier. The rotary channel's signal is separated with the highs reproduced by a mechanical horn rotor and the lows reproduced by two 5" speakers with digital rotor simulations. Both the mechanical and digital rotors operate in two modes: Fast (Tremolo) or Slow (Chorale).
The stationary left and right channels accommodate signals from another sound source such as a synthesizer or external sound module and utilize the same two 5" low frequency drivers along with two additional 2" soft-dome tweeters for high frequencies. There are 16 different functions for both rotors, which may be saved to two presets for instant recall via select button, foot switch, or MIDI program change messages. The amplifier's enclosure is constructed from impact-resistant MDF with a black leather-like finish. The 2101MKII ships with the FS-9H foot switch and a standard IEC power cable.
Stationary Left and Right: Inputs for stationary speakers. Signals received here will not be passed through the rotary system
Mono: Left and right inputs are summed into mono
Rotary (Left/Mono, Right): Allows the Low Rotary channel to be connected to an external amplifier
Slow/Fast/Stop: Allows you to control the speed of the Leslie rotors. Each time the foot switch is activated, the rotors will switch between SLOW and FAST. If the foot switch is pressed and held for more than 1 second, the rotors will stop.
One FS-9H foot switch is included and works with either input.
MIDI Out: Connects to the MIDI In of an additional Leslie model 21 Horn-Unit when two units are connected in series
The MIDI In from the organ and the Foot Sw signal of the Horn-Unit are merged in the MIDI Out.
Stationary L: Adjusts the volume control of the stationary left channel
Stationary R: Adjusts the volume control of the stationary right channel
Tube Mode: The soft overdrive offers a warm smooth sound, while progressing to the hard setting increases saturation with a "crunchier" sound
