Hammond B3 plug-in or standalone?

Post by donnyhathaway » Thu Mar 07, 2019 7:22 pm

I need a plug-in or standalone for Hammond B3 Organ for Live 10 to use with my Novation LaunchKey 49. I want the LaunchKey sliders/knobs to be drawbars. I also want the Leslie tone cabinet effect and the LaunchKey to control it. Any software out there like that?

Arturia has a Hammond B3 plug-in.

Kontakt also has a Vintage Organs Sample Library that has controllable drawbars as well.


There are probably others in terms of freeware, Reaktor/Max libraries or even different Sample Libraries.


Kontakt and Arturia both should allow Drawbar mapping.

Does the Kontakt work in Live 10 or only within the Kontakt Player? How do I get Ableton to use the Kontakt? After listening in YouTube, it sounds closer to a real B3 than the Arturia.

You can load up Kontakt as a VST or Audio Unit, then load up the Vintage organ library.


It is a pretty nice library and many people do prefer it over the Arturia one. I believe it has Leslie simulation as well which you should be able to midi map as well.
