B4000 ASB Tabletop Sound Module description:
The B4000 ASB Virtual Analog tabletop sound module perfectly emulates the legendary Hammond B3, weighing much less!
The B4000 ASB features all the controls from the original, including the drawbars which are essential in real time performance for that authentic ever-changing huge Hammond sound.
In creating the B4000 ASB, a Hammond B3 has been extensively examined - each and every single of the 91 tone wheels, the analog circuits, the interactions between organ and Leslie, the key click, the crosstalk of the choruses even when all the drawbars are off, all of this and more was scrutinized down to the most minute detail. The product is a Hammond sound as it has to be: lively, authentic, heavy. Close your eyes and use your ears. Not to mention that you won't have to drag 400 pounds onto the stage.
If you want an organ sound sending shivers down your spine, a Leslie cabinet is a must. This is why the B4000 ASB incorporates one. Not a real one, of course, but you'll notice the difference. Bass and treble speakers with separate settings for variable rotation speeds and accelerations, independent pickup microphones for the individual speakers, Doppler effect, everything you need right at your fingertips.
You can also edit the ravages of time. What about using tone wheels that are ten years old? Or fifty years old? Just tweak that knob a bit - that's it. Functions such as percussion, vibrato, or drawbar distortion are implemented, too. But we also added some stuff for those who think that time hasn't stood still since 1955. Velocity sensitivity like with modern synthesizers? Tunable signal envelopes? And if you want to modify the sound of your brand new synthesizeresizer with the Leslie, distortion, and tube drive effects of the B4000, you will welcome the integrated audio input, to bring some fresh new sounds to your existing gear.
