GSi VB3-II v1.0.3 CE / v1.0.2 WiN MacOSX

GSi VB3-II is the result of almost 15 years of study, research, experimentation and development of the simulation of a vintage Hammond B3 organ. It is the evolution of the GSi VB3 1.4 with a new sound, a new parameter set, endless possibility of sound customization.

Main features:

Full polyphony (61 upper + 61 lower + 25 pedals = 147 notes)
91 modeled tonewheels with accurate phase synchronization
Adjustable leakage noise and cross modulation between tonewheels
A total of 22 different tonewheel generators to choose from
Generator shaping for a total of 154 generator combinations
Adjustable global tuning from 430 to 450 Hz
Foldback on 16" deactivatable
Complex wheels
Resistor wiring with multiple options
Realistic “run” motor wow & flutter
Busbars and 9 key contact simulation
Two separate sets of drawbars per manual
Full "inverted octave" presets
String Bass with adjustable release time
Loudness "robbing" effect
Single triggered percussion with natural capacitor discharge/recharge
Adjustable Percussion Level & Decay
Vibrato/Chorus virtual scanner
Adjustable Vibrato Scanner depth & mix
Separated Upper and Lower V/C tablets with smooth switching
Dynamic tube overdrive simulation
Digital stereo reverb
Rotary speaker simulation with virtual microphone positioning
Rotors "Front Stop" brake position
Very low CPU consumption
Advanced MIDI Learn function with import/export of custom mappings
Upper and Lower manuals SPLIT with adjustable split point
Adjustable output level
Supports pedal sustain
Custom programmer with import/export of Programs and Banks
...and many more.

VB3-II features deep editing of all Organ and Rotary Speaker parameters organized in separate windows. The parameters are organized in sections and represented as dropdown menus if they consist in lists of elements to choose from, check boxes if they consist in options to toggle, or horizontal sliders if they respond to a range of values spanning from 0 to 127.

August 7, 2018 - Version 1.0.2

- Added global setting to choose whether the editing windows should be displayed "always on top" (required by some hosts under OSX)
- Fixed problem with parameters not being restored properly when reloading the plugin in some hosts
- Changing the global tuning no longer requires VB3-II to be reloaded
- Switching programs from within the built-in programmer now updates the host's program list properly
- Added "all notes off" to GUI virtual keyboards
- Minor optimizations across the whole program
