GG Audio (now Cherry Audio)
Blue3 is a meticulously modeled — not sampled — 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. With 31 tonewheel sets accurately capturing variations between vintage instruments, 91 modeled tonewheels with phase synchronization, and authentically emulated scanner vibrato/chorus, Blue3 delivers the iconic, soulful sounds associated with nearly a century of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz classics.

200+
Cherry Audio's Blue3 features a new, beautifully designed user interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. And 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.

Upper, Lower, Pedal with full polyphony
Blue3 offers full polyphony for upper, lower, and pedal manuals, a customizable keyboard split function, and handy drawbar utilities including Copy, Swap, Reset, and Randomize. Tones can be further refined with settings for condition, key click, percussion, and multiple overdrive options.

The Cabinet page provides six speaker options and adjustable rotary speed with acceleration and deceleration. The microphone simulation includes spread and distance controls, four mic selections, and click-and-drag placement in an updated UI.
