“The B-3 V delivers the most authentic tonewheel organ and rotary speaker experience you’ll find anywhere, plus customizations that open up new creative opportunities.
Monarch of electronic organs, the rich sounding B3 has been a staple of jazz, gospel, rock, reggae and R&B—not to mention pro studios everywhere—for over a half century. Its electromagnetic tonewheel design gave it a beefy quality not found on later transistor organs. Our faithful homage includes an authentic rotary speaker and an array of stomp boxes, plus inspiring updates like analog circuit mods and drawbar modulation for new animated and syncopated effects.
“Optimized for the Kontakt Player and Kontakt 5 full version.
We recorded the finest instruments on the planet for this suite of keyboards for professional keyboardists and composers.
The Fazioli 10ft grand was recorded in a Studio Bau:ton designed studio, CounterPoint Studios in SLC, Utah.

“Six different historic pipe organs, 75 different stops
Garritan Classic Pipe Organs brings the power and majesty of the pipe organ into your studio, place of worship, rehearsal room, or home. This collection spans 400 years of organ building with instruments from the Baroque, Classical, Renaissance, Romantic, and Modern eras. You can combine stops from different organs to create new instruments, and use convolution sampled reverb to place any organ in a cathedral, concert hall, or other space for spectacular results.”
“There are very few truly unique instrumental sounds in the world of music. Sounds so distinct, so compelling, so immediately identifiable and genuine that you just have to have it. Nothing else will do. “Close” won’t do. “Almost” won’t cut it. “Approximately” will instantly brand you as a shallow imposter.
“Aggressive, unusual transistor-based tone, perfect for angry punk-style organ riffs • Incorporates the Woodwind, Brass and Strings settings of the original professional Stylophone 350S • Additional Bite, Anger, Fury and Vibe knobs to mould the sound
“Over 500 superb sounds from the biggest, bluest sampler of the 80s, brought to Kontakt with the blessing and collaboration of their original publisher, Doug Morton • Vintage EII companding convertors add punch, weight, grain and texture to the classic 8-bit sound • Every key of every patch sampled across the whole EII keyboard – no interpolation means you get the exact tonality of the Emulator II”

THE GRAND SALON ORGAN
Pedal-powered reed organs (often referred to as pump organs) were once the most popular instruments in the USA. Manufactured by the Estey Organ Company from 1860 onwards, they were often housed in ornate and elaborate pieces of furniture.
The organ we have recorded appears to be a high-top Grand Salon Organ, dating from around the turn of the 19th century. It is played, as you might expect, by pumping the two foot pedals alternately, to force air through the reed mechanism. It requires some technique, and no small amount of effort to keep a strong, even tone from the instrument.
We recorded the Estey Organ by removing the back panel, which gave a more direct sound, and minimised the considerable pedal noise. We have included separate pedal noise which can be blended in (or not) for realism.”
“Two Tonewheel and one Transistor components, blendable for a wide spectrum of sounds from smooth and simple to harmonically complex • Crosstalk, Cross-modulation and Failure controls bring definable levels of grit, crustiness, erraticism and gnarliness to your tone • Takes standard organ patches deep, deep into the Dark Side • Ideal for unique organs, strange atmospheres, gritty leads, radiophonic textures and more”

An array of included effects pedals gives you all the tools to make the sound your own. Bell-bottoms optional.
“One of a kind
This is truly a first: The Vienna Konzerthaus Organ is the first sampled organ recorded in a concert hall, not in a church, thus blending perfectly with orchestral performances. Obviously, it is also the first instrument not recorded at the Silent Stage, and yet it adheres to our overall sampling concept since it has been captured in exactly the same space that provides the essential impulse responses for our revolutionary Vienna MIR reverberation and mixing engine. That space is the venerable Great Hall of the “Wiener Konzerthaus”, where the famous “Rieger Organ” was installed in 1913. Continue reading Konzerthaus Organ
“Each instrument has a set of effects, such as chorus, phaser and cab simulation, the last capable of beefing up the Organ preset to pulpit-shaking levels, while the chorus and phaser transform the Solo preset, especially, into a pleasing alternate string synth. The samples are well recorded and every parameter is MIDI controllable… Actually, the biggest audible difference from the real thing is the lack of noise. I’ve never heard a Logan sound so clean! – Sound on Sound magazine, November 2012”
“Rich, vintage reed organ tone with individual control over key on and key off samples, randomised for authenticity • Vintage attack captures the original characteristic sound of the reeds; Clean attack gives a snappier, modern sound • Tremolo, rotary and two types of distortion; Tilt EQ to tailor the tone; Separately adjustable fan noise”
