I though this was a very nice emulation of that classic 80's synth sound! The GUI is simple, yet very effective as everything is right in front of you for easy editing. Nice array of presets (64) expresses the capabilities of versatility of this synth... at the very least giving you a good starting point for your own edits. I only wish that the "Env 2" delay was actually a delay and didn't cut off the filter ADSR, but yet still produces a nice effect.

This is a simple but nice-sounding synth that I received bundled in Mixcraft 5.0, but last time I checked it can be downloaded for free from the developer. I believe it is still bundled in 6.0. It is great for pads and basses. It can do a nice Solina string synth imitation. Overall, it kind of reminds me of an Oberheim Matrix. It is light on CPU and easy to tweak. Try layering Impulse with Synth1 for some nice 70's-80's synth washes. I'd rate it above such standard VA synths as TAL Noisemaker and Tyrell N6, but behind Synth1.

Organ-One could be called an organ simulator. It sounds like an organ, or like a synth organ patch, or...well, it can sound like a lot of things. It doesn't exactly like a real organ, since in the place of clicks, leslie simulations, distortions, and the other virtual organ standbys, it has an envelope generator (for amplitude), ring modulation, and an FX section you can use for flanging, chorusing, and all kinds of other weird effects.

It does have an organ vibe to it, though, definitely. It's rich and deep, rather than bright and shiny, no matter how you manipulate the drawbars. Looking through the drawbars you can find weird, swirly FX and metallic clicks beside the obvious organ patches, but even these weird sounds have a thick, organ-like resonance - even if its more the sound of a synth imitating an organ than a real synth. Feed it through an amp sim and leslie effect, though, and you'll see that it can also make some very believable organ sounds.

Add to all of this a decent GUI thats extremely easy to use, and you've got a VSTi that'll leave you wanting to put organs in your tracks for months!

IMHO... this isn't so much an organ plugin as a "drawbar synth", the difference being that it doesn't do a very good job of simulating a real organ, but it has some features that real organs don't, and can make some useful sounds.

If you're looking for a definitive B3 emulator, this is not it. The stereo FX is basically a chorus, so no leslie emulator here; there's also no distortion or cabinet emulation, and no percussion or keyclick, so you're not going to get some beefy screamin' B going.

You can get some nice pads that are a bit of a change from the usual analog or sampled string patches, and some of those organ-type sounds you used to hear coming from DX7's and D50's. It's got a very clean sound to it like that.

Sound aside it's a stable plugin and the GUI is great and easy to use. There are only a few presets, but then there aren't a ton of really distinct sounds coming out of this thing so I don't expect too many. Many thanks to Bojo for making this one free; it's a good plugin, despite my criticisms about its realism. If you want a realistic B3 plug (for free) check out ZR3.

This is a very nice synthesizer indeed.It has that "hybrid"(analogue/digital) sound character
which is so in vogue.
Good filters(6/12/24 db ecc.),two envelopes
and a detune function for more analog flavour,
with a fine user interface,make this instrument,in my opinion, the best
"value for money" one beside Square and Junox2

For me, this cheap little synth is one of my favorite...
It's a versatile and conventional synth, so it's easy to use but what impress me the most is the sound !
Perhaps because of the true stereo mode, and the internal fx. You don't need to add external fx, it sounds so great on his own !
What I also appreciate is that I can use the pitchbend and the modulation wheel of my keyboard, Impulse always reacts great !
The GUI is nice and now the parameters names show correctly in OrionPro or FruityLoops : I have mentionned this problem to Bo Johansen and 2 days later it was fixed, great support !
I don't understand that nobody speaks about this synth !

EDIT: v.2.01 is even better, so I updated my review/rating.

It is a very good sounding organ with many features. I like it very much and don´t have serious critics on it. And it costs far less than the NI B4 organ. For that price you can´t make a fault if you buy it. I don´t understand that it is not known and loved even more.
