Frequently Asked Questions
It captures the core character of a B3 remarkably well, but lacks the subtle imperfections and mechanical noise of a vintage unit. The Leslie simulation is convincing, though, offering a wide range of rotational speeds and microphone positions.
Yes, it has MIDI in/out ports, allowing you to control external synthesizers or use its keys to trigger sounds in a DAW. However, its primary strength is its organ voices, not its MIDI functionality.
