Blue3 is not just a sample, but a carefully modeled virtual instrument that reproduces the sounds of the world’s most famous tone wheel organs. It features 31 sets of tone wheels that accurately convey the differences between vintage instruments, 91 modeled tone wheels with phase sync, and a faithfully emulated scanner vibrato/chorus. With these features, Blue3 creates iconic and soulful sounds that are associated with classic blues, gospel, rock and jazz, as well as almost a century of history in these genres.
Cherry Audio’s Blue3 features a new, beautifully designed user interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. It goes beyond the traditional B3 sound by adding three studio-quality stompbox-style effects: Tape Echo Delay, Reverb with spring, plate, and hall, and a seven-band graphic EQ.Blue3 offers full polyphony for the upper, lower and pedal manuals, a customizable keyboard split function, and handy drawbar utilities including Copy, Swap, Reset and Randomize. The tone can be further refined with settings for state, key click, percussion and several overdrive options.The Cabinet page features six speaker options and adjustable rotation speed with acceleration and deceleration. The microphone simulation includes spread and distance controls, four microphone options, and click-and-drag placement in a redesigned user interface.
