Master Hammond B3 VSTi

Overview

MASTER HAMMOND B3 is a Virtual Hammond VST plug-in with a rich and authentic sound based on the legendary B3. The result is a warm and powerful sound over the entire range of the keyboard. The MHB3 is capable of all the variations one expects from this type of organ, and is suitable for any flavor of music, be it Rock, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, etc.

Features

B3 Mode Selector:
- B3 Standard
- Fast Bright
- Slow Bright
- Fast Dark
- Slow Dark
- Full Bright
- 4 B3 Blues types
Authentic sound based on an intelligent VSTi engine and Sample Playback, which provides virtually unlimited dynamic expression for your performances.
Modeled on mastered samples (normalized and noise-reduced). Based on PCM recordings of a Hammond B3 organ with full length sustain samples, no loops (natural decay), stored in 16 bits and 44.100 KHz.
The size has been significantly reduced. Great quality and reasonable small size: 7.48 MB.
ADSR envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters and several modulation targets.
10 Acoustic Ambience presets.
Portamento/Glide control: affects pitch transitions. A gliding effect that allows a sound to change pitch at a gradual rate, rather than abruptly, when a new key is pressed or MIDI note sent.
Reverb built-in: free variation of acoustic ambience thanks to complete separation of organ and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as accurately as larger spaces.
MIDI Automation: Added complete MIDI CC#. The following MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC) messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:

The Hammond organ, developed by Laurens Hammond and introduced in 1935, was the first commercially successful electric instrument. It was widely used in homes. It was also widely used in jazz, rock, and popular music performance, and it sparked the interest of George Gershwin, Ethel Smith, and other prominant musicians.

The Hammond organ, developed by Laurens Hammond and introduced in 1935, was the first commercially successful electric instrument. It was widely used in homes. It was also widely used in jazz, rock, blues, gospel and popular music performance. Perhaps the success of the Hammond B3 would not be without the trusty Leslie Speaker Cabinet. Invented by Don Leslie, create a speaker cabinet that spins, or spins the speakers to provide a very non directional sound that when coupled with the B3, sounds very much like a church organ, without all of the messy tubing.
