The distortion and Leslie on V2 are sooo fantastic.

Yep, works with v1 and v2 iLok, according to iLok License Manager.

It is compatible with iLok 1, 2 or whatever version of iLok keys, and can also be used with the license stored on your computer without an iLok dongle.
to answer the question about the B-5 Leslie, it is based on the one from UVI, but we added many of our own tweaks to make it sound exactly as we wanted it to, so i'm afraid, you won't get the same exact sound using UVI rotary. And you can't edit the B-5 instrument in Falcon either, that would mess up the script.
Oh and for the people that wanted to use it in Falcon, the V1.3 has just been released.

This thing sounds glorious. I'm replacing Apple's organ with this in Mainstage for my Genesis tribute band.

Thanks 
Btw, if someone has a quick MIDI file of a rock song that they want me to render at full saturation, i'd be happy to do it and post it here.

Does anybody know if there is a way to filter out pitch wheel info, either in the B-5 or the UVI workstation? My Impulse 61 is sending out bad pitch wheel data, even tho I've unplugged the pitch wheel from the main board. Otherwise it works fine as a controller.
EDIT: Arno got back with me on this, he suggested MIDIPipe. That took care of it for me.

I was going to buy the Hawptwerk organ basic edition, but saw that it required a silly dongle. So it was game over before it started.
Glad this organ gives me the ability to choose whether I want iLok or just a standard system rego.

Bumping an old thread to point out there's a big update to B5 that reduces the CPU usage and makes some more tweaks for even more authenticity (Volume pedal and Key Click improved) along with support for the Hammond XK NRPN controllers...
CPU optimization
When we released the version 2, the CPU took a hit because of the very detailed features we added (Leslie, tube saturation, loudness robbing, voltage stealing, etc...) These features are still here but we optimized every bit of them as much as we could and it is now even more efficient than the V1.
A new swell pedal model
We knew from the start that the swell pedal wasn't just a volume change, but our model was just a little off. So we went back and recorded a few things and now have a very precise behaviour that allows for the bass to stick even if the pedal is all the way down just like on real organs.
More precise Clicks
We changed the way the voices are handled which allows us to be much more precise in how the clicks are triggered and they are now more in sync with the tonewheel voices.
More precise Percussion
For the same reason as for the clicks, the percussions are now also more precise resulting in an overall more responsive instrument.
Hammond SK and XK support
Thanks to the guys at UVI, we are now able to support the RPN and NRPN MIDI messages sent by the hammond XK and SK series. We asked a few of our users to help send some MIDI data and with their precious help (thanks again guys btw), we were able to pre-map all of these models. They can now be used without the use of third party MIDI softwares and everything will work straight out of the box (using the corresponding preset in the MIDI preferences).
A refined Pedalboard simulation
The pedalboard might not be used by all organ players, but the ones that do need it to be spot on! So we took another look at how it works and sounds and it is now almost indistinguishable from the real one.
Here is a quick video of our friend Phil Curry having some fun playing "Gospel Train" on his Hammond SK2.
If you already own the B-5, then this "update" is FREE, here are the steps to get it:
1- Log into your account and download the new file from the download page (the file B-5-Organ-v2.2-EDC.rar)
2- Update UVI Workstation or Falcon to the latest version.
