The B4 II is a tonewheel organ plug-in or stand-alone application for Mac and Windows that completely recreates the sound of the classic B3 organ, including rotating speakers. By performing a thorough analysis of the electro-mechanical sound generation and tube circuitry of the best organ and speaker cabinet combinations, Native Instruments created a software model based on NSP (Native Signal Processing) technology.
Additional components include a tube amplifier and a selection of classic speaker cabinets that offer a greater freedom of expression. Spring and studio reverb modules lend the sound more depth and atmosphere.
From the drawbars, the vibrato and chorus to the tube distortion and rotary speakers, the B4 II delivers the sound of the original in incredible detail. The cross-talk between the tonewheels is adjustable and eleven additional tonewheel sets are also included. The user can "cosmetically age" the B4 II or transform it into a Farfisa, Vox Continental or an Indian Harmonium.
B4 II functions as follows:
- Stand-alone under ASIO, DirectSound or Core Audio
- Plug-in for applications supporting VST, AU and RTAS for Mac OS X
- Plug-in for applications supporting VST, RTAS and DXi for Windows XP
