Authentic tonewheel organ emulation with legendary Hammond B-3 sound
B-3 V is Arturia's meticulous recreation of the legendary Hammond B-3 tonewheel organ, delivering the authentic sound that defined generations of rock, jazz, gospel, and blues music. This virtual instrument captures every nuance of the original's electromechanical tone generation, from the distinctive click of the keys to the complex harmonic interactions of the tonewheels.
Classic Sound, Modern Power
Experience the warmth and character of vintage tonewheel technology combined with modern features and flexibility. B-3 V faithfully reproduces the original's unique sonic characteristics including key click, crosstalk, and the subtle imperfections that give the Hammond its soul. The integration of a virtual Leslie rotating speaker cabinet adds the essential swirling modulation that completes the classic organ sound.
Beyond the Original
While honoring the legacy of the original instrument, B-3 V extends the creative possibilities with enhanced sound design options, multiple amp and effects configurations, and deep parameter control that would be impossible with vintage hardware.
