Welcome
Thank you for licensing Organ 3!
In the late 1930s, Hammond released the B3 organ. Since then, the
sound of the Hammond B3 has become one of the most common and
most recognisable sounds in popular music. The presence of the
Hammond B3 is virtually everywhere; from Gospel, Blues and Jazz, to
Funk, Rock, Reggae and Dance styles. The original Hammond B3
weighed in at over 180 kilograms and required a separate Leslie speaker
cabinet that was six feet tall and weighed almost as much as the organ
itself!
Organ 3 is a software emulation of the original Hammond B3 and further
historical electronic organs designed for creating music on your PC or
Macintosh. Organ 3 features all of the controls found on the original B3.
These include the drawbars, a vibrato and percussion section, as well as
a sophisticated dual-effects processor with a fully sync-able Leslie-
Emulation. All these features have been incorporated into an easy-to-use
interface, capable of producing a wide range of classic and modern
organ sounds.
This manual describes all aspects of Organ 3 and is designed so that
your use of this instrument is as efficient and enjoyable as possible.
At LinPlug we're very proud of Organ 3; it's the result of a long and
extensive period of research into the famous Hammond B3 organ and its
various components. We hope you get a lot of pleasure using Organ 3
and that it becomes an integral part of your music-making.
