    I also have a HAMMOND M101 (B3 technology spinet) and NEO INSTRUMENTS VENTILATOR.
    So I have comparison.
    ROCK use group so mainly support and chorus.
    Everything is fine and the sound is really great for me since I wired stereo while:

    I'll post a quick topic on this subject because I know after much research in the forums that many of you have struggled with this machine for asio4all.

    To return to this app, I passed by charlie organ, B4, B4II, Vintage Organs, extension or Hypersonic Hypersonic 2, among others ...

    My favorites are B4II and GSI VB3.

    I can not say which one I prefer, to be honest I use both in cubase history to have two different conceptions of modeling, but for the stage and also because I'm used to the sound of B4II I did kept the latter.

    It still offers more style than the VB3 and also more settings that when we take the time to make them are very effective!
    Most of VB3 However emulation is more "realistic" its leslie!

    But I still preferred the stage B4II for different models, in terms of sub leslie FORTE 2 and there exists plugins realistic modeling leslie cab so I cut one of my B4 and serves as leslie emulation third insert in the couple + variety of models suited to my purpose in the sense that I am not an organist and on this point I'm just a bare minimum of very good quality!

    For other organs is GARBAGE Vintage DIRECT too greedy, not given! The shame! I also liked a lot the organ Charlie but not flexible enough to use ...
    Anyway, I still kept Hypersonic 2 (not the organ I assure you) for the appearance of certain sounds lovely voluntarily "CHIP" it can happen again in cubase use in composting projects ... the hypersonic still not for the scene (but it is not no?).

    Config sub Forte Scarbee rhodes and wurly other clavinets pianets coupled to VKFX of Overloud B4II with a third party leslie insert, VA Minimogue exellent freeware modeling MOOG, TAL-UNO-60 still modeling freeware JUNO60 (Exellent for bass synth !) and finally Pianoteq small but very effective Plugsound pads for ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few years already, I would do this choice without hesitation is exellent value for money!

    Although by the sounds of B4II usual, I am very far from having finished VB3 serve me in the studio, saw the pénuerie "good" hammond organ since the existence of these two exellentes emulation (for their time course. ..)

    I have version 1.2.1

    - Installing a plugin for basic

    - No incompatibilities encountered

    - Level configuration, there's everything you need to settle an organ is: Zippers (pedal, lower, upper), percu, chorus / vibrato, overdrive, reverb, Leslie, keyclick, etc ... We can split the keyboard. Note that everything is controlled via MIDI.

    Three models of organs are emulated: The B3, a transistor 70's Italian style and the "red Tolex" style 60 years.

    - Complete manual

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    - My config: Toshiba laptop 1.6 GHz, 2GB RAM, Sound Card TC Electronic Konnekt 24D

    - It works nickel, anyway it really eats very little CPU resources.

    - It works nickel, anyway it really eats very little CPU resources.

    - All that is stable no worries.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use it for one month in the demo, and I bought it yesterday.

    - What I like most? SOUND! When you play you close your eyes and it seems to be to have a Hammond under the fingers. I tested OrganizedTrio I found cheap, then B4II Native Instruments, I liked, but when I tested the VB3, I immediately understood that it surpassed.

    In fact, like a Hammond B4II ... while the VB3 reacts like a Hammond! For me it is much closer to reality. A warm, velvety, soft overdrive, yum!

    For me, two things really make a difference with the B4, first the attack buttons, which really seems to me more realistic about the VB3, and then I feel that lack of frequencies B4II .. . as if the sound was filtered. Anyway try both, compare and you will understand!

    For the other two models emulated (italian and red Tolex Transistor), although it's nice, by the AC is not against those of B4II.

    - The ratio Q / P is obviously the best because it is the best clone of Hammond for 49 euros, three times less than B4II which is yet worse.

    - So yes I would do this choice!

    No worries installation.

    The manual is clear therefore that mastery of English and the operation of a Hammond.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Purchased two weeks ago after several days of testing in unregistered demo version.

    I like the idea to test the software before buying it without either restrained or limited in time. There's just an issue of white noise every 10 seconds. If you want to buy, register it online and we get the code. Once it returned, more than white noise.

    Excellent product. The sound of the Hammond is really realistic a real treat!

    I have not tested the B4II but listening, VB3 seems better, cheaper, more focused on the Hammond, really complete the settings.

    It is primarily for this that I wish to bring an opinion because it is always nice to know things between us ... galriens Music News! Well, I have good news to announce on this plug-in, it installs without problem on Vista 64 (can you do worse?). I tried to plug-in in Sonar, "no hassle" and via a stand alone utility for playing VST Manir this and walk. I tell you everything because if one reads the data from the developers, it does not mention, let alone Vista 64-bit ... When I think Waves and its probable armada of computer still can not bring its plug-ins compatible! In addition, this plug-in will be very discreet on your hard drive ... it plays an ant!

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I have yet to test everything but sounds perfectly fine. I use the NI B4II but as I just learned that we lchent ... I need an alternative because I'm a fan of the B3. Some say it sounds better than the NI B4, well I'm not far from thinking too. In addition, it is ergonomically perfect. A 5 year old child can use it without learning to read. My only inquitudes is: Will he follow. I know this is silly inquitudes when we see that NI, which has set up shop, to help halt the B4 without notifying its customers (the real ones, those who pay the software and upgrades so I am one!) But s is not known Behind this is too soft and does not feel "big" company. Given that for now it's perfect, that the record is clear .. we will post a great score.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If I compare to other simulators B3 is NOHD, for my part the best:
    - Best Sound
    - Little CPU resources and space
    - Super easy to use (if you know a little obviously B3)
    - Any evidence stability
    - Ridiculous price
    Although obviously I'll take the license for the small blast suppirmer BMD (vidememnt is unplayable with this breath but it does not impede to judge the sound quality)

    Go ahead without problem!

    There are absolutely no compatibility issues with my Macbook, Logic 9 or Ableton 7. 
    The manual is clear enough.  I have never really played a real B3 so I wanted to learn exactly what every parameter did.  It was sufficient enough to make me comfortable on using the interface. 
    If you are familiar with the workings of a tube organ, than yes, this configuration is simple.  If like me, you are not, it takes only a few minutes (1 hour tops) to get very comfortable. 
    Yes, all the typical functions are easily accessible.

    The VB3 has never crashed on me and has never had a problem instantiating. 
    I have to give this a 10 out of 10.  GSi really knows what they are doing, this thing sounds great and always gets complements when heard. 
    I have been using this plugin for 6 months.


    OVERALL OPINION

    The best thing about this plugin as with all GSi plugins, is the superb sound.  I have been around B3's enough to know that the plugin is not a real B3.  GSi did a fantastic job getting a great sounding organ in my laptop, but nothing will ever compare to the beauty that is a B3.  Especially if you have a Leslie cabinet too.  Despite all that, this is a great plugin for those like myself who can't afford a B3 yet. 
    There is nothing I don't like about this plugin.  Good Jog GSi.
    The sound quality and precision is as close to the real deal as I have ever heard.  Logic 9 and Ableton 7 have plugins that are modeled after a B3, but they are no where near the quality that the VB3 is.  I also have access to Native Instruments B4.  It is hard to decide which is better, the B4 has so many great presets, where the VB3 is lacking.  But overall, I find myself drifting towards the VB3 when I want that B3 growl.
    I paid $100 for this plugin and I think it is worth every penny.
    I would gladly buy this plugin again if I didn't own it already.
