- Guido at @GenuineSoundware has taken customer feedback he has received over the years culminating in the release of VB3-II 2023 edition. Guido has rebuilt VB3-II 2023 edition from the ground up, refining the GUI and bringing back the original VB3 tone generator engine as an option for those who prefer it. Has also introduced new features as an audio/MIDI input so that you can route other audio sources into the VB3-II 2023 engine for effects and processing.
The upcoming iOS version (free for users of the desktop version) will allow you to take your tonewheel sounds on the road.
VB3-II 2023 edition will be FREE for current VB3-II owners with a very generous upgrade price for original VB3 users.

YAY GUIDO!!!! ( 'nuff said). Thank you so much Simeon for a great video presentation. I also just went over to GSi's website, downloaded the new update, and read all the new 2023 version features. Blown away that along with the add-in inclusion of VB1.1 organ/leslie engines, and delay & Ring Mod effects and limiter, ...we now have an audio input (player) and ...an audio file recorder, multi-outputs, MIDI controller support for leslie speed and expession pedal "curves", and ...a drawbar "vocoder"? YOW!
My dear Simeon ,we have here a “great problem” which is that under the magic of you’re Talent and fingers,everything sounds GREAT.Well Thank You Simeon for share that wonder talent that GOD gave to you.
It is my pleasure. I am blessed to be able to share these experiences with you. Joyfully!
Simeon shreding..such a joy Big Hug from France
VB3 is simply the best sounding next to a well maintained B3! It emulates the feel we know and love. There are many clones on the market, but a lot of them lack warmth.
Great video. Beautiful playing, and love your passion! I loved the first iteration of this plugin, but this 2023 version is on a whole other level. Fantastic.
Thanks for those kind words, and yes Guido has done an amazing job with VB3 - II !
Hi Simeon. Long time no see!. I am glad you keep playing so nicely and producing more interesting videos. God bless
Bravo!!!!!!!✌👏
I think I started watching your channel after you demo'd the original VB3 - looks like this new version is a keeper! I'll be getting this and that controller too - wonderful demo - thanks Simeon.
Thank you Glen, Guido has poured so much into this update and it shows his dedication to make his instruments as flexible and playable as they can be. And, yeah, the D9-X is a great match for the VB3- II as it helps get your hands on things.
I also recently added one of the half-moon switches for my speaker speed control and it is a lot of fun.
Joyfully yours!
Can't wait to use the cloud features to use VB3-II2.0 with the Mojo Classic!
Tonewheel generator Evo B3 👍👍👍👍👍👍
can't wait
Yes, I look forward to seeing you Mark. 🤓
Greeeeat demo, thanks!
I didn't even know there was a new version out.
@Simeon can you call those presets via midi?
Best greetings :)
That opening jam I thought,"But, but Simeon, you don't look funky." I bet when no one's looking you can even pull out a stank face.
Loving your choice of intro jam. Yessir.
Will download the update and test it out. Wondering if I can use my XB3c as controller since it does midi sys-ex instead of cc. Also what about improvements to the Leslie effect. I own a Neo Vent II and I was wondering if I get the GSI Rotary tweaked to be close to that. The Vent screams as close to a real cabinet as you can get.
Thank again for sharing this run through.
The amount of functionality Guido has put into this I think this would be doable. He went so far to create a custom scripting language for the purpose of helping to setup nonstandard keyboard controller interfaces so it would seem this would include some sort of sysex options to set it up.
I will see if I can find out any additional information for you.
Thanks for the kind support.
The drawbar controller is the D9-X and is available as a kit or pre-assembled. Check out my video covering it here: czcams.com/video/KjxQKpb58DE/video.html
Hmmm. I I stalled before seeing this. Both 2018 and 2023 versions are showing up on my Intel and M2 Mac. Is this okay? Or is it just so that you keep settings and patches from the 2018 version?
Excellent ! So joyful. Where can i find the minus one track (drums + bass + ) please ?
Certainly, the channel is Dix Music Studio and they have a lot of great material. Here is the channel link: www.youtube.com/@DixMusicStudio
Thanks so much for watching,
Thank you very much@@PraiseTracks
Hi Simeon and everyone, the stream is too early for me today, so will catch it later.
Thanks for the vid. Do you happen to know whether the current Mojo line will be updated too? I understand that all hardware organs are already up to date, but I really need that Marshall amp sim (at least on the Mojo 61, you can't change the Hammond engine's amp)! I hope Crumar will at least give us the new (old) Leslie and Marshall simulations.
Personally, I have no idea, but I would definitely send a not to Guido to see if that is something in the works. Thanks for watching.
hey… sounds great! what Dtawbar-Controller you use there?
This is the D9-X from GMLabs. Guido who is behind the VB3 II has also created the D9-X and other very useful MIDI hardware utilities. Thanks so much for watching.
it is time for a lot of fune. 😍Oh yes it is party time this friday evening.🤩
Nice👍🏻. Are you planning a Stream with „The Score“ from Sonuscore?
I have it loaded up but not exactly sure when it will make an appearance, who knows it could be any time. Stay tuned!📺
This is out for iPad now - my big question is, is this the one? Or is IK Multimedia’s Hammond B-3X the better one? Waiting for Black Friday to choose one, since Galileo is now ruined for me.
(Resource utilization is a factor, as for me it’s one of a few layers of instruments in a live setup. This one’s cross-platform licensing is a very nice-to-have.)
Guido has done a lot of tweaking in rebuilding the engine from the ground up, so I am sure there are some optimizations in the overall code. He also gives us some insane detail of control, especially using various MIDI controllers. Also, the cloud settings and preset exchange is pretty cool, especially if you are using the iPad version along with a desktop version.
I am not sure if there is a demo version available but ultimately that would be a way to discover what the performance is like in your situation. I will check and see.
Thanks for watching.
I would also be very curious to hear the hammond b3x on some direct comparisons. Its often hard to tell when just listening to one, but Ive noticed in most cases when the hammond is played with other tonewheels the hammond almost has a brightness level that others never quite get, yet retaining its power. I haven't heard the VB3 - 2 vs the Hammond but I suspect the same would be the case and that is why most wind up going for the Hammond, especially with the pricepoint now being much closer, 100 to 130 is not a big difference. I would be interested in any correction to this from anyone who may have or have tried both.
That would be a great idea. I will see how I can make that happen in the coming year. Thank you so much for the feedback and support.
If I purchase full version how many devices can I use it on? Have a Surface Pro for stage and Descktop in Studio
I think Guido gives you several activations (I think it is 3) so you should be fine.
What controller are you using for the VB3 ?😊
The keyboard is the CASIO PX-S7000 and I am using the D9-X drawbar controller along with the Studiologic MIXFACE
Thanks so much for watching
@@PraiseTracks Thanks for all of your outstanding videos. Does the Casio PX-S7000 show the actual chords (as you play), or is that some other software at work here? I find that seeing the chords to be very interesting. Thank you for letting me know.
Just downloaded this update. Unfortunately for me the AU version is not working in Logic. However, the VST3 version and the standalone version work perfectly. Not sure what the problem is
I would get in touch with Guido, he has been chasing down issues up to the release
I found some additional information from Guido, I hope it helps. I also pinned this up top as well.
Mac users please read: if you had the old version installed, go to the user library and remove the old .component, .vst and .vst3 files before installing the new update. If you were running the host in Rosetta2 mode, make sure it now runs in native Apple Silicon mode.
Thank you very much Simeon@@PraiseTracks . That worked perfectly and all is working now.
I was able to map all of the plug-in controls to my old Nord C1 organ. This plugin has the best mapping interface I have seen and is the first organ plugin that lets me map both upper and lower drawbars as well as Vibrato and Percussion. And it really sounds amazing.
That is so wonderful to hear. Yeah, Guido went a little crazy in the best sort of way to make sure VB3-II could adapt to so many different use cases. Enjoy my friend and thanks again for watching.
Just wondering since you did a feature on the Hammond b3x , why would anyone choose the vb3-2 instead?
It would be similar to all of the piano, guitar, strings, and brass instruments you also see on the channel. Truly each one has its own individuality due to the particular developer's style, programming approach, musicality, so many factors technically and personally. I would say that even if you had a few physical B-3 and Leslie speaker pairs that there would certainly be differences and aspects that might cause you to gravitate toward one in particular and not so much the others.
Having choice is vital as it helps us to find our own sound.
I have been working with Guido and his instruments for so many years and truly appreciate what he continues to accomplish in listening to his user base in improving his instruments.
You would choose VB3 II because the sound resonated with you. There might be something in the way you can select different presets and effects that are different from the B3X.
You might need the specific way that VB3 II implements its MIDI functionality.
There are truly no wrong answers as each instrument has a place.
Thanks so much for watching and I do hope you enjoy the content and explorations. Joyfully yours.
Thank you for your quick and detailed response and I agree with most of what you say but I also would say there are definite software choices that do a better job at sounding like a real world organ , mostly Hammond is the goal , and I think to say a version that sounds as bad as many of the rompler work stations is going to lose to the b3x or the VB3m or the blue3 is an objective choice in that the only time the builtin rompler is chosen is a matter of convenience and maybe the music style doesn’t feature the organ much.. I think there is a value in giving an informed opinion from those who’ve tried the software more than just the “we report , YOU decide. “ style .. There’s real value in pointing out sounds that miss the mark as well..

iPad version available yet? Can’t seem to find it
The iOS version is still being worked on to get approval from Apple. It is to allow those who purchased the desktop version to be able to unlock the iPad version without an extra charge. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Now it is available in the App store.
Yes, I saw that earlier today!
Is there something in the cloud to download that let's you use the skpro to control vb3 ii. The skpro buttons are all nrpn
No, you can go into the MIDI setup page and should be able to set things up there. Guido has made it possible to do some very deep customization with this new version to hopefully make virtually any controller adaptable. I will see if I can find out more info. Thanks for watching.
@@PraiseTracks i don't know much how to use that editor. If you can find out how, I'd really appreciate it!
@kwynw9402 I will see what I can discover. Could you share the model number of your controller, I will see if I can find some sort of reference guide for it.
@@PraiseTracks Hammond Skpro 61
Thank you so much!
V1.A sounds way more open and gritty compared to v2. Don't know if an update will be available for crumar mojo to chose between those... Too bad if we need to stick to v2 only
Not bad at all as there is an option to use the V1 tone wheel engine. ;^) Guido added this as a response to users like yourself who preferred the V1 tone wheel sound. Thanks for watching.
Hi! Thanks for the reply! Do you mean that Crumar has released an update for this?
I am not sure if this is available for the MOJO, I am only referring to the VB3-II VST update. I would not be surprised if this was something they could incorporate but you would have to contact Crumar for more info.
Alright thanks very much :)
Church I Use to update my Hamichord Organ are or is this software not compatible with that Italian type organ
I would say this would be compatible as Guido works closely with Crumar and their instruments. he also has made VB3 II very flexible in configuring it to work with virtually any MIDI controller, so you should be good.
@@PraiseTracks thanks I was wondering do you have to pay to download it or is there a link to go straight to this?
@@PraiseTracks because I have Hamichord M-C3
I’m and new to this so don’t count my questions as being stupid because honestly I don’t know
There is a link in the video description that will take you to the Genuine Soundware website. Once there you can see a lot more information about this instrument plugin as well as purchasing options. It does require a computer and such in order to run it, either a Windows or a Mac. There is also a version you can run on an iPAD or other iOS device.
