I demoed Blue 3 last night and was quite impressed, so will be adding it to my arsenal

Looks like it’s not possible to have the GG Blue3 anche the Cherry Blue3 ay the same time, or am I wrong?

No, they coexist peacefully, after all they are two separate and distinct vst.
I set up a Song with both Blue3 and there are no problems. At most, there might be a CPU increase.

Thanks for info. I need to try again, I might have done something wrong.

This thread was bounced to the Organ Thread by request

I bought Blue3 a few weeks ago. I’ve not spent a lot of time with it yet. I loaded it up, checked a few things, and shut down. Next day, pulled up Blue3, and just had a Cherry Audio red screen. Reloaded was fine, but shut down my laptop, same result.
I contacted Danny at Cherry Audio, and he sent this:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

This isn’t the expected behaviour; once activated you shouldn’t need an internet connection. The activation server logs show a pattern that the activation file is compromised in some way or another, which is what is causing the software to loop into the behaviour you are describing. This can be the result of a couple of things. Fortunately, it should be a fairly straight forward fix.

** Uninstall Blue3 through Windows’ Add/remove programs*
** Delete the entire %programdata%\CherryAudio directory.*
** Delete the entire %appdata%\CherryAudio\Shared directory.*
** Re-install Blue3 and relaunch it, enter your log in credentials, and download a fresh activation.*

Please let us know how that goes for you.

Well, I did, and it cured nothing. Anyone have this problem?

Fixed it :grinning:

For those who do not have the full version of Kontakt, will the Kontakt Player work?
They don’t say, except that they don’t talk about Player.

It works very well in the player

That was great, so much to soak in. Lights triggered with Rotary, old tube amp on the floor…I pictured Gary Moore coming out from the curtains

Thanks. This is good to know for Kontakt Player-only owners.

It seems to me to be a fusion of progressive and blues. The organ sound is interesting. Pity the lack of a bass player.

True, but he was killing it with the Bass foot pedals.

Sorry, I saw it on the 5.4" display of my iphone mini, I didn’t see the pedalboard at all :frowning: I’ll have to see it at home.

Edit: I saw he was moving his left leg too much. I didn’t think about a pedal board. What a dumb!
Plus, the bass is almost inaudible on the phone.

Came across this gem today. For anyone who hasn’t seen it, this is Rick Wakeman in an in-depth interview at the piano and the organ. Some super fascinating stuff, from back in the day up until now. It’s a bit of a long listen, and of course youtube manages to sneak in a break about every 5 minutes by the end, but it gives you a very in depth first hand perspective of a musical legend. I sat and listened to the whole interview despite the plate being overflowing with things I have to do. Time well spent!

Very interesting way to spend 90 minutes.

He’s back! The Hammond sounds great.
