I am technically challenged. I just purchased the B-3X to use with my Hammond Xk3c and Crumar Mojo 61. The videos and clear explanations are great and very helpful. I will have to go through them a couple of times,

Drawbar management and non real time setting changes info was very helpful!

Great Stuff

Just in Time for a real Hammond - Very Helpfull !!!!

This absolutely slays Arturias B3. Very well demonstrated, and I also learned some new things.

What can I say, the Hammond organ isn't all that difficult to understand... until you sit down to one and start messing around with it. The tonal possibilities are pretty much limitless and for a keyboard that only had a volume/expression pedal and not velocity sensitive keys it's an instrument that has stood the test of time. Such a wonderful organic sound used in a huge variety of of genres and I think this company nails it. Better yet, my favourite tutorialist (not really a word) Eli K. walks you through this. If you thought that the Hammond was only for the Jimmy Smiths, Uriah Heeps, Deep Purple and Deep House, think again and watch this. An incredibly expressive instrument explained by an incredibly knowledgeable individual.

Bought IK's B-3X after seeing a clip from Namm 2020. This series makes me so glad I did!!
