Product Description

• Tonewheel Organ Heavyweight The B-3 V delivers the most authentic tonewheel organ and rotary speaker experience you’ll find anywhere
• plus customizations that open up new creative opportunities. Monarch of electronic organs
• the rich sounding B3 has been a staple of jazz

• spanning so many genres and years. It had the subtlety for jazz at the hands of artists like Jimmy Joey Defrancesco and John Medeski. It had the grace for gospel
• as demonstrated by Elbernita “Twinkie” Clark and Cory Henry. It had the energy to drive the reggae behind the likes of Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff
• and the soul of James Brown and Sly Stone. Most visibly
• it had the raw power to hold its own in a rock world as diverse as ELP
• Santana
• Pink Floyd
• Deep Purple
• The Allman Brothers
• and Blood
• Sweet and Tears. Whether you’re playing solo
• in a group
• or in a mix

Unmatched Authenticity Even if you already have a virtual tonewheel organ… you owe it to yourself to try the B-3 V. There are organs and there are B3s. Then there are B3 emulations and Arturia’s B-3 V. Where most other attempts are based on samples that only capture some of the qualities
• we created the B-3V using the same critically acclaimed modeling technology that distinguishes our entire V Collection of classic instruments. We put that same attention to detail into the included rotary speaker as well. When you can have the best
• why settle for anything less? Even better with age The B-3 V improves on a classic
• with everything you need in an organ rig and more built right in. Rotary speakers have become an essential part of the tonewheel organ sound
• so we’ve naturally included one. We also included a classic “twin” guitar amp too
• but why stop there? We’ve also included a whole host of gorgeously modelled effects for you to recreate those classic combinations
• as well as a jaw-dropping convolution reverb to place your organ in real acoustic spaces
• or process them with vintage reverb. Because this instrument is brought to life in your computer with modelling
• you’re even able to modify previously fixed analog circuit features like key click. Our most radical enhancement is the addition of a modulation section to automate the movement of drawbars using envelopes
• LFOs and step sequencers
• letting you infuse your music with new animated textures. With its combination of faithful realism and new mods
• the B-3 V has you covered whether you’re playing standards
