Blue3 is a carefully modeled, not sampled, virtual instrument that reproduces the world’s most famous tone wheel organs: the B-3, C-3, A-100, L-100, CV and M-3 models. Featuring 31 sets of tone wheels that accurately capture the differences between vintage instruments, 91 modeled phase-locked tone wheels, and authentically emulated scanner vibrato/chorus, Blue3 delivers the iconic, soulful sounds associated with nearly a century of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz classics.
Cherry Audio’s Blue3 features a new, beautifully designed user interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. It goes beyond the traditional B3 sound by adding three studio-quality stompbox-style effects: Tape Echo Delay, Reverb with spring, plate, and hall, and a seven-band graphic EQ.
Blue3 offers full polyphony for the upper, lower, and pedal manuals, a customizable keyboard split function, and handy drawbar utilities including Copy, Swap, Reset, and Randomize. The tone can be further refined with settings for Status, Key Click, Percussion, and multiple overdrive options.
The Cabinet page features six speaker options and adjustable rotation speed with acceleration and deceleration. The microphone simulation includes spread and distance controls, four mic options, and click-and-drag placement in a refreshed user interface.
With MIDI mapping and a rich library of over 200 presets covering classic and modern tones, Blue3 is the perfect package for both stage and studio.
