hammond b-3x is a complete solution for any hammond organ user. no matter what your experience level, there is something for everyone in this package. hammond b-3x offers unparalleled realism and authenticity, as well as deep, robust sound. best of all, it can be easily integrated into your existing setup, and configured and tuned to your personal preferences. if youve ever wanted to play a hammond organ, nows your chance. with hammond b-3x, youll never again have to settle for a sample-based solution.

this also makes me wonder if the pedal buttons need some tweaking, as they do in many other synthesizer interfaces. i find it hard to get the best clarity from the buttons as there isnt enough resistance to them, which makes the upper octave pedals seem particularly light and somewhat slippery. some hammonds have a lot of resistance, so it may be that the b-3x is designed to be played with a footswitch, which is something i dont like as it doesnt allow for a quick and precise play of the different pedals, and i also like to be able to change presets without having to get up to change the keyboard. with these issues, the b-3x is a good first hammond organ and a great demo of the technology id be willing to pay for, although i still like the xk5 better.
if youre a true hammond fan, the b-3x is a very authentic recreation of the classic hammond. like the xk5, it wont be cheap, but id be willing to pay for the flexibility it offers and the ability to switch between different leslie settings for a more authentic experience.
having waited sometime for an authentic virtual hammond, the hammond b-3x certainly delivers in all the ways id want it to. the sound of the b-3x is full and open with the upper tonewheels singing through, and enough depth on the pedals to fill-out the low-end of the mix and, to my ears at least, it sounds authentically hammond with all the clicks, growls, and grit youd expect to hear. indeed, by comparison to hammonds own xk5, which costs over 3,000, the b-3x stands up well, although youll miss out on the physicality of a real instrument and some of the more advanced modelling aspects like the multi-contact keyboard.
