Thanks to NI, now everyone can have access to the magnificent sound of the Hammond B3 organ

Several tonewheel sets are included as standard.

Manufacturer's description

The B4 software organ broke new ground when it was released in 2000 and was an instant success. It reproduces the sound of the legendary B3 and its rotary speaker cabinet with unmatched accuracy. Its expressiveness and immediate playability continues to amaze even the most experienced organ players. The B4 II raises the bar considerably, generating a much wider sonic range and a far richer, even more authentic sound.
