There is a consensus that GSI VB3 is the best electric organ VST, or at least one of the best.

But does it cover the vast majority of the common electric organ sounds a live keyboardist might need?

If not, what would you add to GSI VB3 to have a collection of organs, so you could relax and know you are covered for any case?

It covers Hammond, Farfisa and Vox style organs.

EvilDragon, OK, there is 3 Organ Types you can choose in the global settings in VB3, can you tell me wich is Hammond, which Farfisa and which Vox?

I didn't saw GSI published that detail anywhere.

I tried now all three organ types and the all sound the same.

How do you move from one model to another in VB3?

Obviously it is not by changing "Organ Type".

No, they don't.

It's pretty obvious which tonewheel set is which

What's annoying is that it's in the global options. Not per preset.
That kills switching between organ models for a live player. Because you have to go into the menu to change it.

I'm not sure if the setting is global over all instances of Vb3 in a host. Otherwise you could set up three instances. One for each model.

An alternative would be VB3 (or the even better IMO Blue3) for hammond and using different plugins for other organs.
Maybe try to find the once free Farfisa and Vox models by Martinic. They're probably still cached somewhere.

Does GSI VB3 cover most of the E-organ sounds a live keyboardist needs?
