Yes, the best kind of installer there is, a simple copy of the dll into your VST scan path. I like to create separate directories by vendor in the Vstplugins directory so I do not have one huge directory of dll's but it is not necessary.




Great...thanks!

Yes it is a pretty simple install and it seems to work. This thread has got me into it again. It is so easy to forget what VST's you actaully have at times. This organ is a classic slow moving dreamy sounding patch and it is great for that background type things continuously playing. Chords just changing slowly one or two notes at a time.
 
The 'Milk' settings open up the sound a bit more and think of it as the starting sound you might be after. 'Butter' and 'Cream' setting up and creating the modulating part of the sound. Make sure you try 'Butter' (Phasor) in the stereo position too. Important! 'Cream' is just in the zone straight away. (6 delays, it ought to be!)
 
Check out the users manual inside the Documentaion folder. (z_doc) It explains a few things more. You will realise its versatility once you read that document.

Hi Jeff, that VST can be a bit buggy, depending on your set up. It crashes my system. It is after all 10 years old. On thinking about it though, I might still be using the same version from 10 years ago.

Hi Ben nice to hear from you. Yes according to the history doc the last one is v1.9 and there were some serious issues before that version reading that doc. I have just checked and mine is at 1.9 too. I certainly have not had an issue (with Studio One anyway)  The basic organ sound is OK but variable according to the modulation settings you may be using in 'Butter' or 'Cream'

OK, I got it installed and I'm really dig'n this plugin.  Nice dreamy Floyd sound with a tad of uneasiness about it.  Thanks for the tip.
 
What about a general organ soft synth package...any good ones to recommend?

One cool source that people tend to overlook is Dimension Pro's Virtual B3 subfolder (buried under Organs in the free Expansion Pack 1).  All of DP's controls are converted to drawbars, Leslie speakers, percussive attack, etc.  All of the sounds are generated from a sine wav and click file.  An external Leslie effect can enhance these programs.
 
There was a descriptive image of the Virtual B3 control layout floating around this forum.  I can't seem to find it here or in my backups.  (Notice how all of the front panel controls are both enabled and grayed out.)  The 'virtual b3.sfz' file serves as the basis for all of the program files [96 - Virtual B3 folder under Multisamples].

While this does not answer you question directly its a useful and intersting resource as it list which keyboards Richard used throughout his career. http://sparebricks.fika.org/sbzine28/WrightGear-rev156.pdf
 
Typically early Floyd will be Farifisa transistor organs, later Hammond B3/C3 so it very much depends on the era.
 
If you want to cover all the bases with organ sounds Native Instruments Vintage Organs covers Vox, Farfisa and a Hammonds pretty well. (The older discontinued B4 II was arguably better). For just Hammond B3 , GSI VB3 takes a lot of beating, its much better at the gritty end of the sound range. There is also a free, earlier and more basic version called Organized Trio in this pack.
 
Carazy Diamonds is more of a ARP Solina string ensemble emulator that a organ IMHO, of course that Solina sound was used to great effect on Shine on you Crazy Diamond

 Yes this is good. Unfortunatly I cannot find the documentation on the controls either. It need an amp sim too if you want gritty hammond sounds.

The overloud key package is pretty good for that.  Both preamp and speaker - along w/ the usual suspects.  No rotary, tho :-(

Too bad no one saved the DimPro Virtual B3 writeup from sonarama. Sure could use it now.
