The "Glide" control slider allows you to play legato and portamento leads. You have control over Volume, Attack, Release, Transient Offset, Vibrato and Octave layering. We’ve packed the GUI with lots of great sound-shaping controls that give you the flexibility to warp the sound in many ways. With the Soundiron Cruiser, you can double guitar leads to beef them up or put this wonderful synth at the forefront of the next big synthwave track. But that's not all! In order to make Michael Knight proud, we’ve also created 20 awesome sound designed custom synth and FX presets that accentuate the versatility of this library, from leads to pads and rhythmic presets. We’ve captured the neon-infused retro-futuristic feel by recording 16 different preset banks with infinite sustains and tight staccatos.

The Siel Cruise actually contains two different synthesizers: a monophonic and a polyphonic synth, each with their own presets and options. Sold to the European markets as the Siel Cruise, this little slice of the ‘80s made it stateside as a rebranded Sequential Fugue. This classic 49-key subtractive synthesizer was built by the Italian electronics company Siel way back in 1981. PS1: if you type ‘Hammond” on the Toontrack search, it gets back with tons of “When does TT planning to release a B3?” post of all sorts.Soundiron's Cruiser captures that signature nostalgic sound of a vintage 80's synth, perfect for vaporwave, chillwave, nu-disco, new retro wave and all of the raddest Saturday morning cartoon theme songs ever written. This guys are based on Sweden I believe, maybe there is a big scene for Pipe Organs over there? 😛Īnyways I would jump into any B3 emulation Toontrack would make right away, as I currently using the piano one to lay down some chord pads and then edit/change the midi files with the B3 Protools plugin. I mean, they have a Pipe Organ emulation!, I don’t see how in any case somebody will use that more than a Hammond organ. It is really curious to me the Toontrack hasn’t jump in this territory yet, it must be something referred to the way they sample stuff that makes the B3 more complicated than the rest. A Hammond organ is in the top 5 instrument that you will find in any pop/rock production as it fills the space really well and it is so versatile.

There’s no doubt that there are great emulations out there (even free ones) but I think the strong suit of EZ and what Sjaak refers too is the “player” section and midi packs, as it is a great tool for producers and songwriters that don’t play keys. So far everything Toontrack has produced has been in a winner in my book. I’m not affiliated with any of these companies)Īnd if Toontrack can create something that can compete with some of these excellent plugins, well then more power to them. (Just my opinions, and personal favorites. Prices vary, but for $100, you really can’t go wrong with Blue 3.

Unfortunately NI made the poor decision to discontinue that plugin and released Vintage Organs, which is a big step down from the B4-II Native Instruments B4-II, which was one of the first emulators to really capture that Hammond/ Leslie sound. GSi VB3-II, although I think version one sounds better.Īrturia’s B-3V and AIR’s DB-33 both are decent as well.Īlong with some older emulators, that still are many user’s favorites: Then there’s GG Audio’s Blue 3 (my personal favorite, and my go-to Hammond/Leslie emulator) IK Multimedia just released B-3X, which has gotten rave reviews, and is the only B3 emulator approved by Hammond corporation. Especially lately when there are so many excellent choices already to choose from. That’s a tough field to break into, even for Toontrack.
