Ratings and Reviews
Please fix this, Guido.
I really do not want to damage the rating of this app, but… On GarageBand, the sound only plays if I hit a note every 15 or so times on the GarageBand keyboard. The first note is the upper (or lower) manual, the second one is the pedals, and then after that is just the clicking of the keys. This issue does not persist in Cubasis 2. The organ sounds incredible, but the faulty controls for GarageBand make it nearly unusable. The same issue persists with Yonac’s Galileo.
Developer Response ,
The only fact that the same "issue" persists ONLY WITH GARAGE BAND and with BOTH VB3m and and Galileo should make it evident that the issue is not with the plugin but is with Garage Band. And the reason why this happens is that both VB3m and Galileo respond on multiple MIDI channels for upper, lower and pedalboard, OMNI is not supported. On the other hand, Garage Band cycles through all 16 channels every time a new note is played, this also explains why you hear a note on the upper, the next on the lower then nothing for 14 notes, then back on the upper. Your 3 stars should go to Garage Band, not to VB3m.
VB3m
A great app for the price.
Better sounds than a lot keyboards but not as good as clone wheels.
I have a Studiologic NC2X which is a cheaper 88 note keyboard with 9 sliders and scaled down version of numa organ.
The VB3m samples are not as good but for the price a great app
