Official Hammond B-3 Virtual Instrument!
we have quite a few Hammond organ aficionados. They are blown away by IK Multimedia’s Hammond B-3X virtual instrument, saying it plays and sounds like the real deal. Immersing you in the electro-mechanical Hammond organ playing experience, the plug-in’s amazing degree of realism and detail has never before been available in software. Developed in collaboration with the Hammond Organ Company and Suzuki Musical Instruments, Hammond B-3X captures the very soul of the legendary B-3 tonewheel organ with authentic sound generation, a complete effects path, and fine tweakability.
Full effects chain, cabinet models, and more
IK Multimedia Hammond B-3X delivers the full sonic impact of the B-3, and includes a full FX chain to re-create the complete signal path and character of these classic instruments as they were actually used in countless epic recordings. Hammond B-3X naturally includes a Leslie rotary speaker cabinet with multiple microphones, but you also get classic stomp box effects, a selection of power amp and cabinet models you can mix-and-match, a parallel guitar amp and 4 x 12″ cab, a full-featured mixer, and even post-mixer effects.
It’s all in the details
For Hammond B-3X, IK’s approach to the instrument matches the way the original hardware organ works. Based on several meticulously-maintained Hammond organs, B-3X starts with 91 free-running modeled tonewheels and or absolute realism mixes those in real time based on your notes and drawbar levels. IK’s modeling then faithfully re-creates tonal filtering, independent key click, and the iconic Hammond percussion and chorus-vibrato circuits to re-create the massive, “organic” feel of the actual instrument. All settings, controls, and circuits are modeled to IK’s exacting standards, with every detail checked and confirmed with the Hammond Organ Company team. You can even simulate the effects of aging components, controlling tonal balance, generator leakage and crosstalk, and even the presence boost of the chorus circuit!
