VB3 For Mac

VB3 is also capable of other simulations like the italian transistor organs of the seventies or the red-tolex organs played by famous pop bands of the sixties.

There is a "virtual tonewheel generator" which constantly plays 91 waveforms. When you depress a key, a connection matrix decides which "tonewheels" have to be played according to the note played and the drawbars setting.

If more than one note requires the same tonewheel to be played, this is amplified twice but no other "oscillators" are required other than the 91 already available.

Actually, only 79 tonewheels are used for the two manuals, while the first 12 are only used for the first octave of the pedalboard. You can, however, choose to use the first 12 tonewheels for the upper and lower manuals too by deactivating the foldback on the 16" drawbars from the Global Options Menu.

Also, you should know that VB3 doesn't use any samples. All the sound it produces is 100% calculated in real-time. The waveforms are modeled after an accurate examination of the actual electromagnetic organ's output signals, and then digitally reproduced with the help of mathematical computations and formulas.

Notes: · There is a known and unresolved (yet) incompatibility with MOTU Digital Performer. · There's no guarantee for it to function in ProTools (via its VST-to-RTAS wrapper)
