you really can't emulate a Leslie just by DSP and

It could be emulated using Wave Field Synthesis or speaker
arrays.
for most Hammond clone players, there really isn't any need to try to
emulate the Leslie at all. because the sound of the Leslie is so
"physical", most players bring a "clonewheel" and a real Leslie, or
at
least one of the Leslie knock-offs (Motion Sound, Speakeasy, etc.).
I'm convinced that if some programmer would take the time to develop a
completely gui-less Leslie-less Hammond organ, it would be a hit.
one more side note: not everyone uses a Leslie (i.e. Brian Auger).
