Just watched the You Tube video. Not too shabby! The per-drawbar effects open up some intresting posibilities for going beyond the standard sound. There is an intresting but too short comparison between Melda Vintage Rotary and NI rotary.

I checked it out also. I could hear vibrato but nothing with what sounded like chorus. It is hard to tell from the UI how those two are controlled other than a depth knob. Could not find a manual for it to look further. From what I can find the real 1959 Hammond B3 did include the chorus scanner as well as vibrato.

Neither do thay claim to have the chorus in their blurb, so its not as complete an emulation as VB3. I found this discription of the scanner features http://www.electricdruid.net/?page=info.hammond#scanner The Hammond chorus/vibrato circuit has become famous in its own right, with organs that have a “real” scanner-based vibrato being more valuable than those without. So what is this circuit and how does it work? In short, it is a 9 stage delay line. The delay is produced using LC phase shift circuits. It can produce only a very short delay of around 1mS . A variable delay is required for vibrato or chorus, and this is generated by the rotating scanner arm picking up signals from each stage of the delay in turn. Because of the way this is done (air-gap capacitor, essentially) the effect is a fade between one stage and the next. The scanner is set to scan each tap from 1 through to 9 and then back again 9 to 1. This is equivalent to a triangle wave modulation of the delay time. The complete cycle, from 1 to 9 and back, is 16 steps. Although three depth settings are available for each of the two effects (VIB1, VIB2, VIB3, CHORUS1, CHORUS2, CHORUS3) on the B3, there is no control of rate, which is set at a constant 7Hz. Any good copy has to be able to provide this speed.
I am intrested in Hamme+ but not sure yet if I want to buy it yet. Some of the non authentic features look intresting for "sound design". Controling the vibrato, tremalo, ADSR and saturation individually for each drawbar could produce some intresting sounds.

I'm on the fence here also. It does seem and sound interesting but I may just wait awhile to see how it gets along.

Yeah.... same here. After demoing VB3 I'm more likely to go with that for organ duties should I find any missing pieces in NI's Vintage Organs. But as Glyn said, controlling parameters per drawbar sure does seem like an interesting way of coming up with alternate sounds.
