Painstakingly modeled replication of the world-famous tonewheel organs
Blue3 is a meticulously modeled virtual instrument that recreates iconic tonewheel organs like the B-3, C-3, A-100, L-100, CV, and M-3. Featuring 31 tonewheel sets and 91 modeled tonewheels with phase synchronization, Blue3 captures the soulful sounds of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz. Authentic scanner vibrato/chorus adds to its classic charm.
Cherry Audio's Blue3 sports a redesigned interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. It enhances the traditional B3 sound with three studio-quality effects: Tape Echo Delay, Reverb (Spring, Plate, and Hall), and a Seven-band Graphic EQ.
Blue3 offers full polyphony for upper, lower, and pedal manuals, customizable keyboard splits, and useful drawbar utilities like Copy, Swap, and Randomize. Tone customization includes key click, percussion, overdrive, and condition settings.
The Cabinet page features six speaker options, adjustable rotary speeds, and microphone simulation with placement controls. With MIDI mapping and over 200 presets, Blue3 is perfect for stage and studio use.
