    ⚡️Lucky 13th Anniversary Sale?☮️
    Finally hit the jackpot today after literally years of trying to catch The Yonac Sale but missing; a lucky break today landed me on the Yonac The Big Sale by accident. All Yonac applications were $.99c, and almost all in-application purchases were 75% off. Compared to regular price, it would been absurd not to just everything else Yonac authored and offered today, so I did. In the last couple of hours everything lives up to or beyond expectations. Have a 1950 Hammond, a Leslie 122, and a ‘74 vintage Voce Spin rack-mount/midi-hardware Leslie sim that took over for the Leslies for many years, but the original Galileo still sounds great and remains a tough Hammond/Leslie software sim to beat. Tone Stack Pro had everything, so snagged the Mother-load 1, 2, & 3 packs for Tone Stack original, as well as all of the Yonac synths. Yonac, keep up the good work and many thanks for the sale???.

    Not as good a sound as the original, but some added features are good.
    There is a BIG difference in the Leslie simulation. Galileo 2’s is very thin and unrealistic compared to 1’s. Even stacking 2 rotaries in the FX chain doesn’t compare. I do like the tiny diagrams representing the drawbars on your presets, but ultimately, the sound is what we buy this app for. Show more

    What’s up with the AU and IAA failures?
    This app is killer. Dynamic and responsive. It sounds as good as if not better than any other organ simulator out there… that is it used to before it started having issues loading up as IAA and AU. For months, if not years, there have been consistent inconsistencies where depending on the host app being used Galileo v2 doesn’t seem to want to load up - for awhile in AUM it would load up as an IAA for about 1/10th of a second and then crash. AU version would work, but now that seems to be gone also. Maybe it’s my iPad Pro or maybe I’ve got something setup in a way that the app doesn’t agree with. But if that’s the case it’s pretty universal to every AU hosting app I’m accustom to - used to use it in iMPC PRO2 but that hasn’t worked for a long time either. It would be great to get some confirmation that there is or is not an issue with the app or maybe the problem is with the hosting apps or if it’s just me. Otherwise there’s no way of knowing wether this is a fixable issue to a great app or if it’s a lost cause. Show more

    Get it
    It might not be as good as the IK Multimedia Hammond B3-X app but the differences are less apparent in a final mix. It’s an awesome app for a lot less money. Thanks Yonac for a such a good app and shame on IK Multimedia for being so greedy. Show more

    Connect to Roxsyn
    How can I connect G2 with Roxsyn?

    Bought all yonac apps
    Everything else works but my midi keyboard doesn’t seem to work with the app at all...either on standalone or through daws

    Beautiful Tube OverDrive
    This is an great app!! It has a creamy beautiful overdrive tone for the organ.

    NOT EXACTLY A HAMMOND BUT....................
    Hello! Have had this App for about a month. I have a Yamaha MX88 and the Organs are pretty darn good but this App blows away my preset Organs on my MX88! Nearest thing to a real Hammond sound that I’ve played anywhere! Have watched on YouTube the differences between this App and the Hammond B3X App. For $85 less I can’t justify paying that for the B3X App!!! This App is pretty dog gone Sweet!!! Show more

    Worse than the original
    The original Galileo has a very polished professional look. It has excellent MIDI implementation. It is a usable organ. But, as a B3 owner and player of several years, I can assure you Galileo is no B3. It has several idiosyncrasies. Yonac really missed the boat with Galileo 2. They should have stayed with the original and made improvements to it. Not only did they fail to correct the issues with the original, the graphical interface of Galileo 2 looks terrible. The overall sound and effects are inferior to the original. For some reason Yonac feels that all of their instruments must have synthesizer capabilities. What this company truly doesn’t get is that when a keyboard player is looking for an organ, he/she is simply looking for the best sounding ORGAN possible. My advice for anyone trying to decide which version of Galileo to purchase is, get the original. Don’t waste your money on Galileo 2. Update: 12-09-19. Well, Yonac has done it again. Abandoned another App. But, they definitely dropped the WRONG one. There are so many issues with this app, the list is too long. I’m not saying this to be cruel. But this ‘UPDATED’ version of Galileo is pure junk. How can Yonac produce a vastly inferior product to the original version, dare to claim it’s much improved and charge more money? I am teaching new people how to use an iPad for live performance. But, I certainly would not recommend this purchase to any of them. I have tweaked this thing to death. Both of the Leslie simulations for Galileo 2 don’t even come close to the quality of the one that was included with the original. They are a bad joke! The Leslie simulator in the original Galileo was probably one of the best aspects of it. I have to ask the question. Doesn’t anyone at Yonac actually listen to the products they sell before releasing them? Because if they did, they would never have replaced the original with this. Show more

    Better than most soft organs
    My opinion is a lot of reviewers do not have an experience with a real Hammond organ and Leslie. If you use the presets then it is disappointing because of the reverb and the other effects. So what I did is get the organ basics effects unit and programmed myself about 4 patches representing the organ and amp setups I would use Then I used 2 controllers each with faders that I use das drawbar controls. Got myself a midi expression pedal that I for volume control. I also programmed the favorite drawbar combos I need and use the controller’s buttons for my drawbar favorites Regarding the FX, use the graphic EQ to tame the sometimes brittle sounds that come out of the high harmonic settings. And finally a small tube preamp that I have before hitting the amps. Between the drawbar, the vibrato/chorus control, the percussion and lastly, the organ volume plus the rotary... you can get away with a lot. You may also have to play with your controllers keybed control which usually are piano oriented. The Arturia Keylab Controllers are my favorite to use. For portability, I also use the small Arturia Keystep controllers and the Korg Nanocontrol for my drawbar or Is just use the notes on the C0 octave and pre program you drawbar combos and assign accordingly. Like with any iPad synths using the touch keyboard is frustrating, so I almost always just use an external keyboard. One thing nice is the addition of an arpeggiator. My only complain is they key hold affects both. Now I am able to cheat my bass lines by running an arp on the lower manual. For 14 bucks, you can’t go wrong. I heard the Hammond iPad organ is the real deal but Galileo is not too far behind. Well this one definitely beats the Logic Pro version and many others. I am definitely not using my Korg CX3. I was afraid this would stutter or conk out but it worked flawlessly. But I kept things simple just like how a Hammond is set up. Show more

    Great App
    Control this from a Strat with Fishman Tripleplay Wireless. With the add on pack I can tailor the sound to the song. Great Product.

    Just amazing
    What this gives you in a tiny package is more than seems should be possible. It gives you a church worthy B3 or a leaky, clicky, mess with big vibrato. Or a Vox. This is a brutal 1-2 punch of quality sound and portability that is amazing. With the right controllers, it sings. Very easy to program MIDI controls. Very very satisfied with this app. Show more

    Awesome! But...
    Is there a way to map the lowest note played on a keyboard to trigger the bass pedal while the rest of the chord plays either of the other registers?
  • Jazzkeyboard, 19.06.2019
    Gallileo 2, Wow!
    After studying all the controls for sometime, I find Gallileo 2 to be great and sound great! The “Presets” get you there in an instant. I really love playing this B3 App. It’s the finest. Show more

    great tonewheel but has midi mapping issue...’forgets’ fx midi map assignments
    fix the bug (& improve presets) and it’s a great app
  • Leo Polled, 25.05.2019
    No Bluetooth audio
    I keep trying to get the app to hold onto a Bluetooth audio connection to my speakers or headphones and it keeps flaking out. A great app if you just want to listen to it through your phones speaker. Not addressed in the help section. An update would be nice! Show more

    Incredible!!
    This is so great! The best Hammond style organ emulator I’ve come across in an effect setup - by leaps and bounds. I’ve been running my guitar through an Elecro-Harmonix B9 pedal to get an organ swell sound behind my guitar sound. Great pedal but can’t get rid of the key click on my favorite setting; even with the click knob turned all the way down. Plus I had to run a separate reverb and overdrive pedal with it to get nice rock organ sounds. I tried using the organ settings in MIDI Guitar 2 and Thumjam - good enough but not as rich as the EHX pedal. Then I found Galileo 2. I run my guitar through an Omec Teleport interface stompbox, then port from there into the iPad/iPhone via the USB camera adapter, then into MIDI Guitar 2 (another landmark app!), run virtual MIDI out of there into Audiobus as a MIDI input and then finally into Galileo 2. Great tracking. So much so that you gotta play with the noise gate and velocity settings in MIDI Guitar 2 a little more than with most apps. I ran the output from Teleport into my Bose L1 PA system. What a sound!!! So rich and full. Real dense sub octave sound and whistling piccolo highs! So much there in the Galileo app to sculpt any sound you could want from a vintage organ. Plus all the effects you could want to chain together. If you get the “essentials” bundle, there’s even more effects and an amp model. All the settings you’d have on a physical organ plus deep editing of oscillators and synthy control type stuff. Unbelievable! Get the bundle as well. It’s so worth it. This makes me want to buy all the apps from the developer. You’re so brilliant - but you already know that, don’tcha. Show more

    An elegant instrument worthy of High Praise
  • DeborahG2003, 30.12.2018
    Looks good but a little confusing from the first one.
    My main question is how do I disable the sustain function Of the sustain pedal and assign it to raise and lower the speed of my Rotary? My wife and I looked at this carefully and could not figure it out. It is very clear on the first Galileo Organ. It had a toggle switch that I cannot find on here that I could cut off the sustaining and use it for MIDI assignment. Show more
