• B5 Organ competition. If you decide to use an iLok dongle, both V1 and V2 are compatible with our products.
• I have selected 7 free drawbar organ VSTi emulations of the Hammond B3. AZR3 by Rumpelrausch. Not only free, it’s also open source. This is a very good drawbar emulation, with onboard FX, nice saturation, and the speaker leslie emulation. Perfect for emulating gospel organ and rock organ. And check the “NHL” preset!
• Acousticsamples releases B-5 Organ v2. Acousticsamples has launched version 2 of its B-5 Organ virtual organ instrument for UVI Workstation. Version 2 is an entirely new product with many new features and a completely different sound. The Hammond organs are very complex beasts, full of wires. Until now, the best renditions were synthesis.

• B5 Organ V2

The Classic Sound of a 50’s Vintage Hammond Organ. The Hammond Organs are very complex beasts, full of wires. Until now, the best renditions were via synthesis, mainly because of how the organ works which is a set of 91 frequencies that are connected via contactors under each key and which volume is controlled by the drawbars, but Acoustic Samples found a way to recreate that classic sound.

AcousticSamples has released version 3 of their B5 Organ

B5 Organ V2

software, a free update for existing users. Here's what's new:

Ultra Realistic Virtual B5 Organ

The Hammond organs are very complex beasts, full of wires. Until now, the best renditions were synthesis, mainly because of how the organ works which is a set of 91 frequencies that are connected via contactors under each key and which volume is controlled by the drawbars.

Sample based libraries consists of stacking drawbar samples at the same time which works, but causes a big problem, sometimes you play the same frequency twice and because of phase cancellation, you never get the same sound twice when if you press the same keys.

Acousticsamples have found a way to use the 91 frequencies synthesis approach, but using real samples, so they get the best of both worlds, the real recorded organ tone plus the real behavior and we keep access to the versatility of the drawbar controls and the tweakability of synthesis.

Technical Description:

• Real Tonewheel model, sample based, around 1100 samples

• Full control over the Drawbar settings

• Around 200 drawbar presets that you can change while you play

• Lower octave Preset keys (black keys) assignable for the Upper and Lower manuals

• Sample based Vibrato and Chorus for C1, C2, C3, V1, V2 and V3

• Fully customizable and accurately reproduced percussion system

• Precise swell pedal volume change (based on measurements)

• Real key contact modeling

• Foldback (adjustable in the bass end)

• All common organ mods available (foldback removal, paradise button, percussion drop fix, drawbar volume changes, stolen drawbar for percussions, recharge time, etc...)

• All three keyboards, Upper manual, Lower manual and bass pedals assignable to different MIDI channels or splitted on one

• String Bass system for easy legato basslines

• Very accurate and customizable Rotary speaker physical model made by UVI and based on our thorough measurements

• Control over the Rotary Speaker speed (chorale, brake, tremolo)

• Rotary speaker type selection

• Recording type selection (independant volume and miking technique for the horn and drum)

• Easy MIDI controller assignment, you can setup any drawbar controller or a simple keyboard very quickly
