Critic Reviews

Review: Motion Sound PRO-3

theatreorgans.com

The Motion Sound PRO-3 impresses with its effective Leslie simulation, offering live organ players a portable and maintenance-free alternative to traditional Leslies. It shines with its real rotating treble horn, providing a lively and dynamic sound that outperforms conventional electronic simulators. However, purists might miss the warmth and overdrive of tube Leslies, and the bass rotor is only a simulation, which may not satisfy those with discerning ears. The lack of MIDI control and some physical design quirks are minor drawbacks. Despite these, the PRO-3 is a convincing, cost-effective solution for a live setting, garnering praise for its exceptional customer service and dedication to user feedback.
