Hammond B-3X is a next-level tonewheel organ app that gives you incredibly realistic sound & features. We’ve partnered with the Hammond Organ Company and Suzuki Musical Instruments to create the most immersive, authentic and powerful B-3 experience for use live on stage or as a plug-in inside recording apps. The sound starts with 91 free-running tonewheels, based on meticulously-maintained real organs, and mixes those in real-time based on the notes played and the drawbar levels. Our advanced modeling recreates the tonal filtering, key click, percussion and chorus-vibrato circuits to recreate the organic feel of the real instrument and give you deep control over every element of the sound. The organ feeds a 5-unit STOMPS section with overdrive, graphic EQ, chorus-vibrato, wah and spring reverb pedals to recreate the widest range of iconic sounds. The CABS section gives you the choice of 5 Leslie amps and 7 speakers with control over speed, acceleration/deceleration, mic placement, gain, EQ and volume. For rock & blues, add the parallel guitar amp into the mix with two models from AmpliTube, with full tone-shaping controls and spring reverb. A mixer lets you blend the sound of the Leslie, the parallel guitar amp and DI organ sound. 3 studio effects post-mixer let you put a final polish on your tone. For live use, a “Controls” view hides the keyboard and enlarges the drawbars and switches for less distraction while playing. And there’s included MIDI assignments for controllers and Hammond digital organs, making it plug-and-play easy to perform. Hammond B-3X for iPad also supports the latest Audio Units plug-in format, letting you use it inside all the most popular recording apps.

    GarageBand iOS
    This is a Great App, but there is a keyboard issue in GarageBand iOS while playing notes. The Hammond B-3x intermittently mutes out while using GarageBand iOS keyboard. Please help!!! Show more

    great organ sounds but uses a lot of DSP
    I love the features and sound of this auv3 but it really puts a strain on my ipads dsp. (ipad pro 9.7 1st gen). Out of all my au’s this is the one that puts AUM over the top in terms of DSP and it causes dropouts (static due to 100% dsp). I end up unloading most other au’s to stop this. Fantastic sound but performance needs some optimizations. Show more

    Great sound but a few important nitpicks -UPDATED!
    I was fortunate to get the app for my iPad for $59.95. That being said, I love the sound compared to the very cheap Galileo app that doesn’t sound as good (still great for the money and for non-purists) but has a few features I’d like to see added in future releases of the B-3X. **SEE UPDATE BELOW** First of all, the app crashes unexpectedly and freezes up with clusters of notes playing loudly that can’t be stopped without closing the app. Using fewer external FX helps but doesn’t cure it. This means it stays in the studio and can never be depended upon for any live performance. Next, there’s no excuse for omitting optional bass pedal sustain, or the option to have percussion sound only on the B preset, like the real thing. These things can and should be fixed ASAP. Getting the sound correct was the hard part and they’ve done that very well. The rest is simple and I hope they tidy up these rough edges. UPDATE: I left my original first complaint up in case anyone else has this admittedly self-induced problem. The sticking notes which sounded like the whole program had frozen were in the bass pedals, which was caused by my selecting “pedal sustain” on the organ console I use to play the app via MIDI. Ironic that my second complaint was over-corrected by my own first mistake. So, add pedal sustain, make percussion only on B and it will be absolutely perfect! ANOTHER UPDATE: While tweaking the sounds, be sure to use high-quality headphones so you can carefully adjust any grittiness or overdrive to taste and know it’s not due to the amplification being used. Also, once you’re happy with the settings, try changing the organ to see if you can improve the sound even more to your taste. I’d assembled my settings using one of the A100s and found that switching to one of the B3 models warmed up all the sounds I’d thought perfect before. Show more

    Wow!
    I play Hammond organ for 90% of my gigging life. I have played every clone out there, and plenty of the real thing. My main digital rig is a Viscount Legend, and that is the king of the clones IMHO. I am VERY picky about my Hammond tone!! And this iPad app (yeah, an IPAD APP!!) is amazing! I would use this onstage with no reservations. It’s no toy; it is a legitimate instrument, ready for professional use. It is absolutely worth the money. Having said all of this, here are two things that I REALLY hope are offered in future updates: 1. The ability to ONLY have percussion active on the upper B preset, as it is on a real B3 - having the percussion continue acting on ALL presets is not an advantage. It actively works against organ technique, at least for anyone who is used to the real thing. 2. The ability to map the preset keys to MIDI commands from the controller keyboard rather than having to go to the iPad touch screen to use them. UPDATE: After a year of using this app, I’m downgrading the rating a bit, because of the above-mentioned issues. I just don’t understand why Hammond won’t give us the option to set this up LIKE THE REAL THING!! It’s an app, it wouldn’t be hard to do!!! The Hammond B3 control layout invented over 60 years ago is STILL the best layout for managing the sound of this instrument, and I cannot understand why Hammond insists on NOT giving us the options to make the app behave like the console organs we are used to. The sound engine is great, and it’s so close, but this drives me up the wall!! Let us map the presets to our MIDI controller, let us CHOOSE whether percussion remains active on presets other than B, and give the option for a second set of drawbars to control the upper A preset. All of this would be EASY TO DO!! Why not do it?! Show more

    Best Organ Sound I’ve Ever Had
    I’ve had many clone wheels and software organs for computer and this iOS app beats them all. Since the price came down there’s no reason to hesitate. You won’t be sorry you got it. Show more

    Jury still out...
    I bought this months ago but only recently started using it. One problem I have is there are tones that are way louder than their neighboring tones. I have to use a notch filter to tame it. Also, I wish the Leslie sim could have a couple of more features. Like being able to adjust the mic distance further away from the cabinet. On another sim (Ventilator) you can back off the mic until there is no effect. Like the mix value in an FX, dry to full FX. The Leslie is just too strong and I can’t back it off enough. Hopefully there will be more updates. Otherwise, this is a very good app. Show more

    Awesome emulation
    Paired with my Crumar D9X drawbars, we can party like it’s 1935, LOL!

    Could be better
    No profile for the Hammond XK1-C , midi learn function isn’t any help. If you own one don’t bother , save yourself the frustration.
