Instrument Description


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.


Main features:

Full polyphony (147 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)

Three different organ models

Adjustable global tuning

Foldback on 16" deactivable

Realistic motor wow & flutter

Busbars and 9 key contacts simulation

17 steps drawbars

Two separate sets of drawbars per manual

Full "inverted octave" presets

String Bass with adjustable release time

Dynamic pickup coil impedance loss

Adjustable generator filters scaling

Single triggered percussion with natural capacitor discharge/recharge

Adjustable global Percussion Level

Adjustable global Percussion Decay

Vibrato/Chorus virtual scanner

Adjustable Vibrato Scanner depth

Electronic vibrato simulation when Sets F or V are selected

Separated Upper and Lower V/C tablets with smooth switching

Dynamic tube overdrive simulation

Spring reverb derived from Type4

Smooth action volume pedal with adjustable MIDI response

Stereo wooden rotary speaker simulation with artificial environment
and microphones positioning

Five different rotary speaker algorithms with adjustable "character"

Tone Cabinet (stationary speaker) simulation

Rotors brake position

Adjustable background hum and noise

Very low CPU consumption

Midi controllable, supports VST automation

Easy MIDI Learn function

Up to four separated outputs

Upper and Lower manuals SPLIT with adjustable split point

Upper and Lower manuals octave transposers

Selectable output level


Changes in version 1.2.2:


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.


Notes for the Mac version:



VB3 is known to function properly in Apple Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase
4, EnergyXT2, RAX, GarageBand and in many other VST and/or AU hosts.

There is a known and unresolved (yet) incompatibility with MOTU
Digital Performer.

There's no guarantee for it to function in ProTools (via its
VST-to-RTAS wrapper)
