Hi all,
Can anyone recommend great sounding Organ VST instruments? Hammond organs or any....for ballads and rock.
 
I bought Cakewalk Sound Center: Hammond B-3 Organ by DSF which is quite good sounding, but I would like to try something more dedicated VST instrument.

For Hammond VB3 is as good as it gets http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=24
 
If you are wanting other organs as well Native Instruments Vintage organs https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/vintage-organs/ is a good all round package. It does not do the Hammond quite as well as VB3, particularly at the crunchy end of the spectrum but you do get Vox and Farifisa as well. It runs in the free Kontakt player so no need to buy Kontakt.

And if you don't mind 32 bit there is GSI's Organized Trio (donation ware) which is a older less featured version of VB3, you can get it here with a few other old but reasonable VSTi http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=37

GSI has a 64 bit version called VB3! There are too many jaw-dropping features to go into. The GUI is pretty ugly to look at but it wins over all the rest as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks to all!
 
Regarding NI Vintage Organs, ss there a 15 minutes limitation when using with the free Kontakt Player?

VB3 is also the engine for the world's greatest clonewheel instrument, the Crumar Mojo.

 
You can also use its excellent distortion and Leslie effects with other tracks, as the effects portion comes as a separate plugin.
 
Best of all, at 50 bucks it's the cheapest Hammond out there.

AIR DB-33 is awesome. Definitely check it out.

It reacts like a real B3, where the NI ones are sampled.
