B-3 V

B-3 V is a software synthesizer plugin from Arturia that emulates the classic B3 Hammond organ, including drawbars, vibrato/chorus, Leslie speaker simulation, and reverb. It is available in multiple plugin formats including AAX for use within Avid Pro Tools and other compatible hosts. The plugin is used by musicians and producers working in Pro Tools to access the iconic B3 Hammond organ sound for studio recordings and live playback.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">B-3 V is an AAX plugin for Avid Pro Tools, not a standalone application. To use it, both Pro Tools itself and the B-3 V plugin must be running natively on Apple Silicon. First, ensure you are running Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer, which ships as a native Universal Binary — update via Avid Link or the Avid Application Manager if you have an older version. Once Pro Tools is current, update B-3 V through Arturia's update channel: visit Arturia's website or use their account portal to download and install the latest native build of B-3 V. After installation, Pro Tools will automatically recognize the native AAX plugin on the next launch. If you are unsure whether your installed B-3 V is already native, Pro Tools will report the architecture of all loaded plugins in its setup and diagnostic screens. Contact Arturia support if the native build is not available through their usual channels — though as of mid-2026, major plugin vendors typically ship native Apple Silicon versions.</recommendation> <parameter name="recommendation_name">B-3 V
