The interface of the '57 Organ patch is spread over three pages. Each manual is going through a different amp and rotary speaker so there will be a drop in realism. However once you do this you will run in to the the fact that there are three separate signal paths. To emulate a B3 / C3 you would need up to three instances of Kore player, one for upper and lower manuals and one for the pedals. There is a key split function but as far as I can see it only enables you to vary the volume of the bass notes. The first thing that hits you in terms of usability is it's effectively a single manual instrument. The other patches start with a fixed mixture of certain drawbars plus the ability to vary two or three others. Hammond aficionados will probably load '57 Organ most of the time as this is the only one with access to all the drawbars. There are 10 "Kore Instruments" in the pack. Now the initial furore surrounding the discontinuance of the NI B4 II has died down here is a hopefully objective review of NI '57 Organ.ĭoes it produce some pretty decent Hammond sounds? -Yes. Here is a cross post of a "review" I have just posted on NI's B4 II thread in their forum.
