HaNon B70: Revive the Legend of the Hammond B3 Organ in Your DAW
The iconic sound of the Hammond B3 organ, which has accompanied music for generations, from jazz and blues to rock and funk, is now available right in your studio. The HaNon B70 plugin from lostin70s is a masterful emulation of this legendary combination: the majestic Hammond B3 organ with its signature drawbars and the unsurpassed Leslie 122 rotating speaker. This is not just a sound sample, but a complete physical emulation that conveys all the nuances and character of the original instruments.
The Secret of Sound: Physical Emulation
Unlike many sample-based emulations, HaNon B70 uses a physical modeling method. It is based on the emulation of 91 tonewheels that are constantly rotating, reproducing the same sound generation principle as the original Hammond B3. This approach provides not only authenticity of sound, but also amazingly low CPU load. Thanks to the physical model, you get:
- Natural key clicks, which are an integral part of the B3’s character. These clicks can be adjusted to your liking.
- A lively and dynamic base for sound shaping with drawbars.
- Simple but effective synthesis that accurately imitates the original.
Legendary Leslie 122 in Digital Format
No Hammond B3 emulation will be complete without a detailed Leslie speaker emulation. HaNon B70 reproduces the Leslie 122 model with impressive accuracy. The emulation includes:
- Simulation of a tube preamp and power amplifier, which allows you to “warm up” the organ sound to a pleasant “crunch.”
- Two rotors (for low and high frequencies) taking into account the first sound reflections inside the Leslie cabinet.
- Accurate reproduction of the frequency response of the original Leslie 122.
- The ability to switch the rotation speed (Slow / Fast) with MIDI controller No. 1, allowing you to control this important element of expression in real time.
Full Control Over the Sound
HaNon B70 gives you a wide range of settings for fine sound shaping, allowing you to adapt it to any musical style:
- Adjustable percussions: set the level, decay duration, and harmonic of the percussive sound.
- Built-in reverb with adjustable level.
- Chorus and vibrato effects to add volume and modulation to your sound.
- Tube drive simulation to saturate the sound and add harmonics.
Ease of Use and Flexibility
This plugin is designed with the needs of modern musicians and producers in mind:
- Support for high sampling rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400 and 192000 Hz.
- Two independent channels and two sets of drawbars, allowing you to quickly switch between different sound settings.
- Keyboard split mode with MIDI learn function, ideal for playing with a single MIDI controller, dividing it into two zones with different organ settings.
- Compatibility with VST and AU formats on Windows (32/64 bit) and MacOS operating systems.
HaNon B70 is not just a virtual instrument, it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the era of classic organ sound, to get an instrument with a unique character and expression. It is ideal for creating retro tracks, as well as for adding warmth and depth to modern compositions in any genre. Download HaNon B70 and feel the power of the legend in your hands.
