Vintage B3 Organ in Logic Pro for iPad
Vintage B3 Organ (abbreviated to Vintage B3 in the guide) emulates the sound and features of the Hammond B3 organ with two manuals (keyboards) and a pedalboard, each of which can have its own registration (sound setting). You can play all registers with a single-manual master keyboard, or you can use two manuals and a MIDI pedalboard. The Vintage B3 component modeling synthesis engine faithfully replicates the tonewheel generators of an electromechanical Hammond organ, down to the smallest detail. This includes charming flaws, such as the enormous level of crosstalk and the scratchiness of the key contacts. You can adjust the intensity of these characteristics, enabling tones that range from flawlessly clean through to dirty and raucous—or anything in between.
Vintage B3 also simulates various types of Leslie sound cabinets—with rotating speakers, with and without deflectors. A flexible integrated effects section provides tube overdrive, an equalizer, a wah wah, and a reverberation effect.
To add Vintage B3 Organ to your project, choose it from the Instrument > Vintage Keys submenu in an Instrument channel strip or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins.
Tap the buttons at the top of the Vintage B3 plug-in to access powerful features:
Use the drawbars at the top of the Main view to change the basic organ sound in real time. See Vintage B3 drawbar controls.
Use the Scanner Vibrato and Percussion controls on the Main view to add a vibrato or chorus-like effect or percussive element to your organ sound. See Vintage B3 Vibrato and Chorus and Vintage B3 Percussion effect.
View Vintage B3’s detailed models of Leslie cabinets, and try its extensive control options.
Work with Vintage B3’s flexible effects processing units, including Reverb, EQ, Wah, and Distortion.
Use Vintage B3’s advanced modeling controls to precisely adjust a number of characteristics such as key clicks, aging of components, enhanced bass response, and more.
Experiment with the Preset (registration) and Morph controls for remote switching and to make interesting real-time changes. See Use Vintage B3 preset keys and Use Vintage B3 Morph controls.
Assign MIDI keyboard controls to specific drawbar controllers. See Vintage B3 MIDI setup and Set a Vintage B3 MIDI control mode.
