VB3-II Tonewheel Organ Simulator

GSi VB3-II is the result of almost 15 years of study, research, experimentation and development of the simulation of a vintage Hammond B3 organ. It is the evolution of the GSi VB3 v1.x with a new sound, a new parameter set, endless possibilities of sound customization. It’s not a simple update to an old software, it’s a whole new product. It’s based on the same sound engine that was written first for the Hamichord Organ, then for the Crumar Mojo, and is also found in the Crumar Mojo61 and in the GSi Gemini. The DSP part of VB3-II was rewritten from the ground up around 2010 and has been constantly updated during all these years by adding features and improvement suggested by many users of our hardware products. Many people requested this sound engine to be released as a software for regular computers, and here it is. Now you can have the sound of a full-featured clonewheel organ right into your computer.

Main features:

– Full polyphony (61 upper + 61 lower + 25 pedals = 147 notes)
– 91 modeled tonewheels with accurate phase synchronization
– Adjustable leakage noise and cross modulation between tonewheels
– A total of 22 different tonewheel generators to choose from

REVISION HISTORY

October 12, 2018 – Version 1.1.1

– Organ model: Improved the keyclick and the cross-talk, introduced the “complex cross-talk on upper manual”
– Organ model: Modified “OLD” resistor wire set to have a better drawbar balance on the top octave
– Organ model: Added new resistor wire set that disables the foldback (Spinet style)
– Rotary Speaker: Extended rotation speed and ramp time ranges, and now displayed in actual Hz and Seconds
– The Pedal-to-Lower function can now work in both Overlay or in Split mode between the pedalboard and the lower manual
– The CC#64 Pedal Speed functions now switches between FAST and according to the previous Speed lever position
– The CC#64 Pedal function can now also be completely disabled, letting CC #64 to be freely assigned
– The Settings Panel now opens inside the main window and no longer creates a new pop-up window
– Updated the PDF Manual with new informations, please have a look at it.
– Minor optimizations and bugfixes that apparently will not please anyone except the developer himself 🙂

September 24, 2018 – Version 1.1.0
