Serials awaits for me for everything February.

I honestly thought that “EZ3” would be a unique instrument with a midi universe all its own. 
But what do I know…

[DeeringAmps]

On a serious note; if everything we hear in the demo is available in the included midi this will be a “winner” for those of us that are Hammond “challenged”!

I love the b3 sound. I will definitely check this out, but IK media “Hammond” B3X is phenomenal. Sorry no midi tracks?

[Bapu]

I hope all the MIDI for the TT B3 is in the vein of Jon Lord.

You guys might want to avoid playing with your organs too much on release day. Don't forget what the following day is......

That is the day to indulge  @paulo     ? 

  Have a  Polish Paczki also to celebrate

“Score” the track in EZK, then render in B3X! Simples!

Why do you want to do damage to the track ?

Unless the MIDI contains controller data like expression pedal, rotary speed, drawbar etc that do not translate?

[Max Arwood]

Wow you know it would be nice to click on  “in the style of” Jon Lord, Booker T, Keith Emerson, Jimmy Smith,  Lonnie Smith etc.

I guess someone industrious could split the tracks into stems  and drop the keyboard track into Melodyne.

True that. We’ll just have to see. Perhaps someone “clever” will write a “drum map” that handles all that?

@bitflipper, could create some clips

I see where there would be some real value in that...

Speak his name and the devil appears...

I listened to the clips and it sounds pretty good. Anybody can stack a bunch of oscillators and come up with a reasonable Hammond tone. So what I listen for is  the one thing everybody struggles to get right: the Leslie, its tonal coloration, distortion, stereo spread, doppler effect, speed changes and model types. This one seems to be doing a good job at those things, maybe even equal to IKM's Leslie.

All that's moot to me, though, as EZKeys is not a product category that I have any interest in.

No maestro, you don’t “need” it!

But those of us that have marginal piano skills, and none of subtlety that the B3 requires, would “lap up” any “in the style of” midi you produced…

And gladly pay for the privilege.

hey, that’s me!

I usually wait for new Toontrack instruments to go on sale, but this one will be a Day 1 purchase for me. It will be VERY interesting to compare it to IKM's, which I have. I also have the Leslie Collection, with all of its presets, for AmpliTube. It's very good.
