Hammond B-3X is a virtual Hammond organ instrument from IK Multimedia that emulates the classic electro-mechanical Hammond B-3 organ. It delivers detailed modelling of the original organ's sound, complete with tonewheel sampling, drawbars, percussion, vibrato and effects. Musicians use it as a standalone plugin or within digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Pro Tools, Logic, and Cubase for jazz, soul, gospel, rock and other genres that rely on authentic Hammond tones. The plugin includes amp and Leslie speaker simulation to complete the vintage tone.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal) build of Hammond B-3X has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to unlock native performance on M-series Macs, which will use noticeably less CPU and deliver better real-time responsiveness during playback and live performance. You can update through the IK Multimedia website or the Mac App Store, depending on where you originally purchased the plugin. If you have existing presets or settings, those will carry over without issue after updating.
