Vintage B3 is a keyboard instrument plugin that emulates the Hammond B3 organ with authentic tonewheel generator modeling, dual manuals, and pedalboard support. It faithfully recreates the electromechanical character of the original, including intentional imperfections like crosstalk and key contact scratchiness, and includes integrated Leslie speaker cabinet simulation with rotating speaker effects.

  • Dual 73-key manuals plus 2-octave pedalboard support with three independent MIDI channels
  • 12 preset keys per manual for registration recall and switching
  • Scanner Vibrato with 3 vibrato (V1-V3) and 3 chorus (C1-C3) types
  • Key Percussion effect with 2nd/3rd harmonic selection and fast/slow decay modes
  • Leslie cabinet simulation with 6 cabinet models (Real Cabinet, Wood, Proline, Single, Split, with and without horn IR)
  • Motor control modes including Normal, Inverse, 910, and Sync rotor operation
  • Integrated effects: tube distortion, equalizer, wah-wah, chorus, and reverberation
  • Advanced microphone modeling (Dynamic, Condenser, Mid-Side) with position and angle controls
  • Component modeling synthesis engine with adjustable crosstalk and key contact characteristics
