I got something workable for substituting in for the Lowrey Berkshire. I used the B-3X preset above and also layered in synth set with two sine wave generators and no filters on octave 0 and +1 mixed 50%. Fortunately everything phase aligned without doing anything. Still doesn’t sound like a Berkshire but I think its now passable in context of the song. Even the screaming high parts with key smears later in the song are working (not in the clip though).

@sekim…I’m with Fred on this one. Though it’s only on youTube, I pulled up yours and the original, and listened side by side and you’re about as close as can be in my mind…way past close enough for rock n roll with this one. Nice work
Impressive! - sounds very close
BTW, I’ve found that the La Petite freebie is helpful on B-3X as a fattener/brightener. Couldn’t get the “sit in a mix” tone above without it. Also works well with synths imo. Zero latency, low cpu so can use for live if needed.

I played organ at church for the 1st time in 7 months today with the Old Fart Short Bus band. It was fun. Singer pulled us off the tracks but no train wreck.

Hi Corky,
I’m sorry to bother you with this as it is not a C4 problem but a Cakewalk one but as the resident organ guru, I thought you might have an idea!
Spin does not learn midi controllers. Even manually set. I use it as a VST Plugin for Blue3 which works fine.
It does not matter which controller keyboard I use or MIDI channel. Tried it on a send bus, no joy.
I have no problems with Cantabile 4 but Cakewalk, no joy.
Any help would be appreciated. My “sound” is Blue3 with Spin together.
Thanks for all your invaluable insights,
Ron
PS: I also sent a note to GG support.
Hi Ron
I’ve not used Cakewalk in years, but I will check it out soon and get back to you. It might be a good idea to contact Cakewalk as well, since it seems to be the problem. If you get a solution before I return, post here so others can use it if needed.
Regards
Corky
Will do. Thx!

I recently played an entire jam session with just the IK B-3X. I think updates over the past two years fixed everything. It remembered all my CC settings for drawbars, Leslie drive etc and performed flawlessly. Sounded great through a pair of JBL Eon 10’s just behind me.

Hi Ron,
It appears to be a Cakewalk problem. I suggest you use Blue3 with it’s internal Leslie (which is Spin). It seemed to do fine that way, instead of a separate Spin vst. Before I get too deep, are you getting anything out of Spin in CW, and what parameters are you trying to use?
Sorry I took so long to respond due to this time of year.

Hey Doug, much time has passed since we last spoke.
The most recent updates corrected a few things for me. I am sure the JBL Eon 10’s are killer! I used 10" Yamahas recently and was amazed that a 10 " would sound so good. My 12’s are my goto, but cabinet is heavier and a space hog. My 15’s are killer in a large venue, but my back doesn’t like them.

Hi Corky,
When I was playing I kept in mind your advice to crawl the keyboard. Good advice!

Thanks for the update! GSI was planning this 2 years ago, and, for some reason, dropped it, and went another direction. Looking forward to it.

I am a little pessimistic about the timeframe for VB3-II.
Last year I asked Guido about it, he told me they were working on it, but he didn’t know when a new version might come out.
regards
