Great Organ Software, Great Hardware Drawbars!

Native Instruments' B4D Bundle combines the revolutionary B4 tonewheel organ software for stand alone or plugin use with the new B4D hardware Drawbar Controller, giving you the ultimate tonewheel organ experience on your computer! The B4 software completely captures the sound of the classic B3 organ (among others) including tonewheels and rotating speakers. Added flexibility in sound generation and seamless integration into the recording environment make the B4 possibly the best organ since the original. All B4 full versions now include the B4 Tonewheel Set Vintage Collection without additional charge. To create the B4, Native Instruments' Synthesis Research Lab carried out a painstaking analysis of the electro-mechanical sound generation and tube circuitry of the best organ and speaker cabinet combinations. The resulting software model, based on the same NSP-technology as NI's award-winning Reaktor modular system, produces sound virtually indistinguishable from the original hardware. The flexibility of advanced software modeling makes a new degree of realism possible for the B4. Sound qualities only an organist could love! The B4 accurately models such subtle details as harmonic foldback, drawbar crosstalk and loudness robbing. The result is a warm and powerful sound over the entire range of the keyboard, complete with the subtle tonal shades that improve both playability and musicality. The B4 is capable of all the variations you'd expect from this type of organ, be it Rock, Jazz or House. A "rear panel" gives access to numerous adjustment parameters, which allow the sound to be tailored for particular applications. You can even use the B4 to process other sounds. Just plug it in as a VST Insert Effect and apply any combination of Scanner Vibrato, Tube Overdrive and Rotating Speaker effect to your audio tracks. Add the B4D for realistic drawbar control! With the B4D Drawbar Controller, Native Instruments gives you a perfect hardware controller for the B4 software organ, allowing you to control your organ sound with an authentic drawbar feel. The sturdy B4D drawbar controller offers nine mechanical drawbars, 22 buttons, and 2 knobs for intuitive control over the most important B4 sound parameters. The B4D controller's nine drawbars can access any of the three B4 drawbar groups. You can control the rotary speaker, vibrato/chorus, percussion, recall presets on the fly and change the volume and overdrive with the buttons and knobs. Playing the B4 is more dynamic and authentic than ever before with the B4D! Perfect control for your B4 sound! The B4D controller's sturdy housing is made of high-quality metal and wood. The handy drawbars, precise buttons, and stable knobs provide a direct and intuitive playing feel for controlling the B4's most important parameters: sound character, presets, rotator, percussion, vibrato/chorus, volume, and overdrive. Quick access for easy control Each of the B4's drawbar groups can be accessed quickly using the switches for Upper, Lower, and Bass. LED lights indicate the current position of the buttons, letting you switch quickly between the different groups when playing live. Perfect integration with your B4! The B4D connects to your computer via MIDI. When you alter settings on the B4D or directly in the software, the changes are immediately communicated between program and controller. This guarantees a perfect match between hardware and software. On the back of the B4D you'll find MIDI in and out, plus additional connections for a sustain pedal, two foot switches, and other B4D units. Native Instruments B4D Drawbar Controller Features:
