Sonic Core B4000 ASB Hardware Organ Synth
— Introducing the B4000 ASB. With real wood panels. Producing the brilliant sound of its predecessor – and WITH drawbars. To be PLAYED!More Details:
Breathtaking organ sounds: Got 'em. A Leslie without backbreaking cabinets? Sure, easy. It's just that so far all of this has been hidden behind the glass screen of the PC monitor. Now, you can work it manually.
It was about time to let the bars fly again. A real organ with a hefty bass bottom, clearly defined mids, and screaming heights - the genuine sound of a real living electromechanical B3TM. A perfect emulation even the tone-wheel wear after years in heavy demand is adjustable! Yet, you can take this organ wherever you go. Use any MIDI keyboard, and leave your computer at home!
The real B3TM weighs about 400 pounds, and sounds marvelous. The ASB weighs about 395 pounds less. It sounds marvelous, too!
The organ has a wide range of emotions. It can be obtrusive and loud when in high spirits, warm and engaging if in a mellow mood. In short, an instrument for players who want do more than to just perform Bach's fugues (although it can do that, too).
Is it possible at all to reconstruct that beast in software? Sure. Not easy, but possible.
And can one play the outcome? Meaning, play it as it is meant to be played? Of course.
The B4000 ASB does away with the barrier between sophisticated state-of-the-art software and an instrument to be tormented by the performer's hands, just like in the good old days. Software? Yes. Computer? No. Instrument? Definitely! We at CreamWare were not satisfied with just recording and replaying the sound of the B3TM. With static samples? Unthinkable!
Instead, the greatest Hammond of all was meticulously 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 HammondTM 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.
Just for kicks, 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
