New in the Mixcraft Store: Blue3 Organ

Cherry Audio has released Blue3 Organ, an incredibly detailed emulation of the world's most beloved tonewheel organs. This virtual instrument painstakingly simulates every feature and circuit, and more importantly, every single source of imperfection, to give Blue3 an extraordinary richness that delivers the iconic, soulful sounds associated with nearly a century of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz classics.

Initially released in 2017, GG Audio's Blue3 garnered critical acclaim for its authentic sound and impressive emulation of classic tonewheel variations of the B-3 organ and beyond. Now, under the stewardship of Cherry Audio, Blue3 is back — better than ever and available in the Mixcraft Store at the unbeatable price of only $49.

Blue3 Organ is a meticulously modeled — not sampled — virtual instrument replicating the world's most famous tonewheel organs: the B-3, C-3, A-100, L-100, CV, and M-3 models. It features 31 tonewheel sets that accurately capture the variations between vintage instruments, 91 modeled tonewheels with phase synchronization, and an authentically emulated scanner vibrato/chorus.

Blue3 Organ now features a new, beautifully designed user interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. And it goes beyond the traditional B-3 sound by adding three studio-quality stompbox-style effects: Tape Echo Delay, Reverb with Spring, Plate, and Hall, and a Seven-band Graphic EQ.

Blue3 offers full polyphony for upper, lower, and pedal manuals, a customizable keyboard split function, and handy drawbar utilities, including Copy, Swap, Reset, and Randomize. Users can further refine the tones with settings for condition, key click, percussion, and multiple overdrive options with four different tube simulations to emulate the preamp and rotary enclosure's amplifier.

The integrated Cabinet section provides six speaker options — Classic 122, 147, RA-200, 4x12 guitar amp, custom rotary, and direct — and adjustable rotary speed with acceleration and deceleration. Additional options include settings for Diffuser, Front Stop, Memphis, and Wind for the rotary speaker. A visual microphone simulation includes spread and distance controls, four mic selections, and click-and-drag placement in an updated UI.

With MIDI mapping and a rich library of over 200 presets covering classic to modern tones, Blue3 is the ultimate package for both stage and studio, all while keeping it affordable for organ enthusiasts worldwide.
