Wow - I've just had a go on the new instruments for Logic - the Hammond Organ and Clavinet - what are you're opinions folks? Have you heard how good they are - I was just blown away.

To me the Clavinet is a beautiful thing - the interface itself is a work of art and the sound is astonishingly rich and detailed - you can get a large range of sounds out of it - not just Clavinet/Harpsichord but even stuff like Led Zep's No Quarter - it has good built in flange, chorus and Wah effects - hell you can even move the position of the pickups around. Good for other plucked string sounds too (like Guitars and Harps).

and I have to say it (sorry NI fans) but this baby is way better than the B4 - its warmer and more authentic - it makes that lovely, tingly-whirry feeling you get in your gut when playing it (like with a real one) - if you know what I mean.

They are brilliant

in fact, there isn't a demo that i wouldn't like to buy

so big brownie points to emagic for tempting us so easily


there's a long list going to Santie.. hehehe

Yeah too bad E-Magic never released them as VSTi's or else they may have had some more customers.

the Clav is the bomb...for the organ, I rather prefer NI´s B4..

but the evd6 really frightens my dusty Hohner instruments..

Maybe the B4 has more features but for some reason the Emagic B3 moves me in a way the B4 doesn't - it seems to me to have more character to the sound - of course thats just my personal feeling, its all a matter of taste I suppose.

I must admit I was surprised by that - initially I thought it would just be a poor clone of the B4 (and daOrgan I suppose) but it has an original sound of its own.

I think Emagic has developed some original approaches to physical modelling actually (don't they call it algororithmic component modelling or something?) - its seems to do the trick anyway.

Nice to hear that you (and the others) like them!

I don't think it's for sales of the clav and organ as it is so much the sequencer. But you know that already and no tunesy needs to tell you

I know, I could just never stand that marketing strategy, or at least the one behind EVP and the Sampler thingy, keeping the B3 and Clav locked into the host is better than selling stripped down VSTi's. Anyway it doesn't matter at all now anymore as E-magic is dropping the PC like a bad habbit. Oh well.

I've include my request for emagic to make evd6 available to the vst format for a few months...until then Ticky-clav and the hollowSound samples have to do causelogic is Waaaaay too complicated for what i need

Sorry...couldn't resist...

If they'd cared 'bout VST customers, they would have fixed the known 48kHz out of tune bug in EVP73. The Emagic support InfoWeb says "Emagic is working on a solution." since 24th July 2001.

Go figure....

Other than bashing us VST users, emagic does make good stuff tho...
