I didn't check the latest version but I had to move back from 2023.09 to 2022.09 because I was getting annoying issues with latency when recording instrument takes (plugins, Kontakt, etc). Issues occurred at some point while working on the project, i.e. not in freshly new projects, not at the beginnings. Weird.

And now absolutely coincidentally... "On Sale: Hammond B-3X, only $/€39.99" https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/index.php?A=hammondb3x Perfect virtual Hammond doesn't exist but if I could choose the tonewheels from GSi, leslie from IK, Cherry Audio pricing and GG Audio's no strings licensing that would be my perfect Hammond ITB.

Coming September 4th: Blue3 Returns! GG Audio's acclaimed Blue3 organ is coming back, and it's better, more affordable, and has a whole new look (with a few surprises) from Cherry Audio. Join Cherry Audio on Wednesday, September 4th at 10:00am PDT for the Live Premiere of the new Blue3, a meticulously modeled virtual instrument that replicates the most famous tonewheel organs in the world: the B-3, C-3, A-100, L-100, CV, and M-3 models.

That has been an ongoing mystery for me . I don't remember how I checked the first VB3, think there was trial available in the past and I've watched it from the top and bottom, front and back, even looked inside, and just couldn't find it close in sound to a real Hammond/Leslie combo, to me it's too artificial, unresponsive and it's Leslie was very unconvincing. I'd been asking someone for a hint how it could be he's preferred virtual B3 but got no answer (I'm probably putting my question in a bad shape or form with too much critics on it in front, LOL... I'll blame language barrier). Maybe it gives you a sound like an organ processed and already mixed in background of, say, a rock record, one that blends seamlessly? I'm really curious to learn your point of view. OTOH VB3mk2 (and Mojo), for me, is a leap right into the top of the virtual B3 emulations where Blue3 and B3X are, with it's Leslie maybe just missing tiny something for rock (and the more contemporary side of gospel) and being excellent for jazz. That's why for rock I used to recommend Blue3 more, mostly because of slight differences in Leslie sound, and bit heavier overdrive should you need it. And the B3X possibly even slightly more natural sounding of all, again, especially because of how the Leslie sounds and it's the newest one, but at the cost of higher CPU, RAM and disk usage, guess there might be some convolution tech in it that's very taxing. Also Blue3 has this Custom leslie I always encourage to check out. And boy, I still remember my first 'wow' moment with Blue3 when, after first listening to all the, mostly rock-oriented presets, I've set everything down to zero, then started pulling out things one by one, the first 2-3 drawbars, no effects apart from standard V/C and some more conservative leslie settings, just as you'd do it on a real one. Sent it through my full range 12" speakers and suddenly got a blast that it sounded a lot like the A100/Leslie 122 combo I'd played just a couple days before. Lovely memories. But my most preferred genres are soul, rnb, gospel, that as well might explain it, not a rock whiz. For hardware, today I enjoy my XK3c with Leslie 2101 lovely combo, very portable when comparing to something like a real B3 and 122. I think I would be quite happy with Mojo if I didn't have this. I hope too, but I'm happy that I can keep my Blue3 as is cause I'm starting being disappointed with all the online-type authorizations, they are giving me too much trouble and Cherry Audio sure is on the dark side. I stopped buying more online-type plugins and prefer the ones like Kazrog or United Plugins now. A good GAS stopper.

All three are excellent and have their own strengths and weak points. I don't have VB3 but I've listened to it so closely that made me very familiar with it's sound. In my opinion VB3 excels in jazz (by it's leslie quality), Blue3 has a lot to offer for rock (with it's heavier leslie quality), B3x is great all-rounder but is a resource hog (and has probably most convincing leslie). I believe, in skilled hands any of the three will make it for whatever music genre. BTW Blue3 has been sold to Cherry Audio so heads up.

I'd been trying every gas therapy on the planet with no success. Me watching deals forum. Will have to go around your area try breathing your air and see if it helps!

Thanks guys, you both were helpful!

Are we both talking about Kontakt Player version, not Kontakt full, right?

Re-posting my question again. Can someone, who is using Kontakt Player, confirm that 7.6.1 is the latest version? TIA

I recon a few years ago I remembered about it in the summer and it was still available for me so I guess you are safe.

I used to be working on integrated Realtek for over a decade and I'm fine. The only side effect is that now I'm always 50ms ahead of any live band on the gigs.

I can lend you
