Lester G and Lester K – two new stereo rotary speaker emulators
Electro-Harmonix has announced the new Lester G and Lester K, two stereo rotary speaker emulators.
Lester G
There’s nothing like the sound of a Leslie ® rotary speaker cabinet on guitar. That’s why legendary players like Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Eric Clapton and others have relied on the iconic effect. Now, for those looking to get that unmistakable sound with the convenience of a pedal, EHX introduces the Lester G: ultimate stereo rotary speaker emulator for guitar. Don’t miss Bill Ruppert’s jaw-dropping video featuring the new Lester G.Lester K
We’re also pleased to introduce the Lester K stereo rotary speaker emulator designed for organ-type keyboards. The K doesn’t include all the Lester G’s features like a built-in compressor, but for guitarists who already own a compression pedal, it kicks butt! Watch guitarist Jon Skibic put the Lester K thru its paces.
The Lester G & Lester K are now available for purchase.

2RuleFilter – new free self-resonant Moog type filter
2Rule has released Mac OS X VST version of 2RuleFilter, a free self-resonant Moog type filter that allows the filter cut-off frequency to be controlled manually, or by LFO, or by an envelope follower.
It has a interesting feature called “scrambler” that plays filtered signal randomly depending on the selected beat.
The “mix” knob mixies wet and dry signals, the “volume” knob is for setting the output volume level. The ”Bit crusher” produces hard sound. Using its scramble feature you can maintain the rhythmic, choppy, buffered and tempo sync output.
2RuleFilter features
- High Pass, Low Pass, Band Pass filter.
- Modulation of filter cut-off frequency by LFO (tempo-sync), manually or envelope follower (reversible).
- Bit crusher (16bit to 1 bit)
- Scrambler that divide one measure to different time interval and plays beats randomly.
- Mix balance in between dry (input signal) and wet (filtered and bit crushed).
- Sensitivity that allows the filter cut-off frequency be changed from rough to smooth. This effect is the same of parameter smoothing.
2RuleFilter is available as a free download for Windows and Mac (32-bit VST).

A little spacey demo of the Yamaha DX7 with some reverb and delay which makes the sounds really shine.

Hi Mom! by Earmonkey – Moog Mother 32, Werkstatt, Microbrute – Roland Space Echo
Got the Mother 32 in today. The possibilities are obviously extraordinary with this little beauty. It makes a great MIDI to CV converter. I used my Ensoniq EPS16+ to control both M32 and the Werkstatt. The Microbrute is playing a throbbing one note sequence.
Here are the connections:
EPS 16+ MIDI OUT to M32 MIDI IN
M32 KB to Werkstatt VCO EXP FM IN
M32 GATE to Werkstatt GATE OUT (also doubles as an IN)
Werkstatt LFO OUT to M32 LFO RATE IN
What this does is gives me two oscillators controlled by the EPS16+. The Mother is set to a SAW and the Werkstatt is set to a PULSE with PWM being modulated by its own LFO set to a TRI. The Werkstatt LFO is then modulating the rate of the M32 LFO which is set to SQ and is modulating its own VCF. This way the rate of the square LFO is constantly changing and giving movement.
The whole damn thing is running through the Roland Space Chorus Tape Delay RE-301 and it’s just beautiful.
Enjoy!

BURG – Lighthouse (Roland TB-3, TR-8, KORG volca, Strymon)
This track is available on bandcamp, please support me: https://ollilaboratories.bandcamp.com…
So, im currently preparing for a live gig, a fund raiser charity event together with my friends here in KL 23/8… I took the opportunity to record when im jamming/prepping with my new Roland TB-3, sort of making it the focal bassline in this track. Man its really hard to blend the basslines together with the Volca bass, not using a EQ on either one of the bass synths, haha. 
Not much to say about this one, its 126 bpm, techno style, 4 on the floor with some classic BURG vibes As always, LIVE and no multitracking or computers involved.. pure hardware straight into 2-track (zoom Q4) BoOoM!
ps, this is the live event im prepping for: https://www.facebook.com/events/56327… – please check it out and share some love!
Also, if you cannot show up on the fundraiser, e.g you live outside Malaysia: donations for the Lighthouse children’s home can be done via this page: http://www.gofundme.com/loveint
Gear used: KORG volca bass x2, sample, keys, Roland Aira TB-3, TR-8 (the system-1 is not used on this track), elektron analog four.
FX: Strymon timeline, mooer reecho, jomox t-resonator, kaoss pad
