Vintage B3 Organ
Logic Pro Vintage B3 Organ overview
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.
The interface is divided into two main areas with a third area visible in some windows. The
control bar at the top lets you access different controls in windows shown in the central
display section. The lower edge gives you direct access to Leslie speed controls when the
Main or Rotor Cabinet window is shown.
Click the control bar buttons to update the central display.
Main button: Shows the draw bars, which are used to make changes to the basic organ
sound in real time. Additional performance and setup controls can be accessed with the
Control, Preset, and Split buttons in the lower-right corner. See Logic Pro Vintage B3
