VB3 is a virtual tonewheel organ which simulates an American electromagnetic organ of the old days, but it's also capable of other simulations like the Italian transistor organs of the seventies or the Red-Tolex organs played by famous pop bands of the sixties.

Features

• Full polyphony (183 notes)
• Virtual 91 modeled tonewheels generator with accurate phase synchronization
• Adjustable leakage noise and cross modulation between tonewheels
• Three sets of waveforms: Set H (American Electromagnetic), Set F (Italian Transistor), Set V (Red Tolex Transistor)
• Motor wow & flutter
• Busbars and 9 key contacts simulation
• 17 steps drawbars
• Two separate sets of drawbars per manual
• String Bass with adjustable release time
• Dynamic pickup coil impedance loss
• Adjustable generator filters scaling
• Single triggered percussion with natural capacitor discharge/recharge
• Vibrato/Chorus virtual scanner
• Dynamic tube preamplifier simulation
• Tube overdrive simulation
• Spring reverb
• Smooth action volume pedal
• Stereo wooden rotary speaker simulation with artificial environment and microphones positioning
• Rotors brake position
• Adjustable background hum and noise
• Very low CPU consumption
• Midi controllable, supports VST automation

New in v1.2.2

• VB3 is now available for MAC OSX in VST and AU format
• New Spring Reverb algorithm derived from GSi Type4
• The code has been enormously optimized and the CPU load is amost halved
• Fixed bugs with some hosts (Sonar, Tracktion3, Receptor) that caused a crash when loading VB3
• Added option "Output Level" with 5 different levels. Use this to prevent VB3 from generating audio clips at high dynamics
• Rotary speaker simualtor: improved control over rotors speeds; improved algorithm "Jazz 122";
• Keyclick: improved and optimized
• Percussion: added the missing high-pass filter that gives it more punch and enforces the attack
• Organ sound: the leakage factor, the whole balance between lows and highs and the background noise have been noticeably improved
• Functionality: no more need to recompute the internal wavetables when the plugin is set in standby by the host; improved the stereo widening algorithm
• Many other things have changed internally that can't be explained in few words, but your fine ears will be able to notice the difference with previous versions.
