Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Native Instruments dealer

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.

Through The Tube
The latest version of this award-winning virtual organ sees the addition of many extra components. A tube amplifier and a selection of classic speaker cabinets offer you greater freedom of expression. Spring and studio reverb modules lend the sound more depth and atmosphere. From silky soft to relentlessly rockin', the sound is stunningly precise and more versatile than ever before.

Attention To Detail
From the drawbars, the vibrato and chorus to the tube distortion and rotary speakers, the B4 II delivers the sound of the original in incredible detail. The cross-talk between the tonewheels is adjustable and 11 additional tonewheel sets are also included: 'Cosmetically age' the B4 II or transform it into a Farfisa, a Vox Continental or an Indian Harmonium.

A Joy To Play
The B4 II is instantly playable. Its convenient Preset Manager coupled with a large selection of presets offer a wide range of styles. The new bass pedal legato and string bass features make using the foot pedals easy: a walking bass has never been simpler. The B4 II is a rounded, enthralling and easy-to-use software organ that instantly delights- start playing and you won't stop.

Let The Tonewheel Turn
The included tonewheel sets vastly expand the B4 II's sonic potential. Adjust the age of your B4 II: From factory-fresh to old and worn after years on stage - the choice is yours. Or turn the B4 II into a completely different organ altogether: the Farfisa, Vox Continental and Indian Harmonium are all included.

Individual and as bundle with the B4D Controller
B4 II is available individually or as an attractive bundle with the B4D drawbar controller.
In combination with the B4D drawbar controller the B4 II offers maximum playability and smoothest operation on stage, at home, or in the studio.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. NI B4 Organ Software Customer Review

Sound: I had to respond to counter some of the negative reviews. This software instrument fills a couple of different niches that almost nothing else really does. Sure there are a TON of "Hammond" sound emulators out there, but none are as flexible as this one. There's as many different Hammond sounds as there are players, and the organs do NOT all sound alike. This software is really the only way to have a synth that sounds like *your* Hammond. It's also the only Hammond Amp/Chorus/Leslie effect that's worth a damn, and it's worth the price of the software just for the Leslie effect. Feature: It lets you tweak many parameters, even lets you simulate a very worn-in tone generator or a seasoned amp. It emulates many characteristics of the sound that are quite subtle and completely unique to Hammonds. Quality: I don't know about other NI products, but this one works just fine. They must have really tested it well.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "NI B4 the real meal deal"

Sound: Unlike some of the other respondents, I have actually owned a Hammond C3 and M3. I have tried MANY clones. The B4 is buy far the nearest to the real thing you will ever get period! That guy from below from Italy is full of crap. The B4 will ROCK your grandmother right out of the grave!!! Feature: B3 - B4 same diff Quality: NI software is made by German software engineers. Nuff said. Value: Let's see $1000 - $10,000 for the real deal or $179.00 for the same thing that won't break your back! Manufacturer Support: Little slow, but hey they are all the way over in Germany. The Wow Factor: If you need an "authentic" Hammond sound, you simply cannot go wrong. Try it first if you can, and if you can't buy it anyway. It is that good. Overall: I will love and cherish this software till death do us part.

Style of Music: Prog
