IKM launched a new Hammond organ

[benjamind]

Bass. Drums. Organ. E-pianos. E-guitar. Gee, I'll be set!

Next logical step would be either the E-guitar or the E-pianos. I can get some realistic sounding E-pianos, but maybe yours will really float the boat when or if you release them. Wurlitzer and Rhodes, and maybe even the Pianet (an early reed based e-piano that sounds absolutely awesome - the Zombies recorded using one in "She's Not There").

Would we be able to use the Leslie (effect) separately from the organ?

[benjamind]

How long til the price goes from 149 to 199 ?

I am mulling on whether to buy, and I probably will since it really does sound fantastic.

I doubt it, but you could get it for T-RackS or AmpliTube.

Wondering on this vs Blue3...

If I can swing the group buy, I might get the Leslie,
seems pretty natural that you would do a Hammond product,
with some experience from the speakers already in play.
I really hope you can get a randomizer
for the organ at some point,
with several degrees of randomness to choose from.
After all, if you're gonna be the best,
you gotta pull out all the stops

You just had to end on that note (mine is a much worse pun, I admit).

For a GREAT demo, please check out this recording of a live stream from last night. Jim is definitely a Hammond expert and we're floored by what he does with what we already knew sounded special but in the hands of a true master - wow:

If it sounds at all the SampleTank 4 organs, I am guessing that it"s a pretty good one.

Considering all the hassles that many of us went through - installing and getting ST4 to actually work right, I'd hope it would be free to ST4 owners.

Still waiting for a current bug fix/update for that (ST4).

Still going through it here after a Clean w10 install, pak files corrupt errors.The sampldrive has not changed.VB3 mk2 for me.

This isn't a SampleTank library at all (cannot, does not run in SampleTank at all), so you'd likely have no issues installing this. Also, I'm sure support could fix those issues you're having with your ST4 install quickly. What's your ticket number?

Thanks, working with support again.

Peter -- no demo?

Sorry for the delay, there is a demo available at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/h ... php?p=demo (and a Demo link/navigation at http://www.hammondb3x.com too)

Anyone compare to Arturia B3 and NI B4?

[vdk-john]

I'm trying the demo and I'm really liking it!

However (on windows) according to studio one (performance monitor) the CPU sits around 20% even when nothing is playing. Is this accurate / normal?

Someone else who tried the demo and noticed a similar CPU load?

Thanks

[MadDogE134]

got a question... does it notice aftertouch for the leslie?

Yep, got the T-RackS one. And looks like IK Hammond has the AmpliTube version.

Tried the demo. Not impressed, sounded too soft to my ears. For me the GSi VB3 II is still king!
