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.

- 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!
