KingB Organ [iPad]

KingB is an instrument designed to capture the unique tones of the B and C series tonewheel organs. It uses a fresh modeling approach to generate tonewheel signals in real time, as well as to replicate the complex interplay of components that make the organ “sing”. Absolutely no samples are used.

The interplay within the intricate network of tonewheels, components, wiring harnesses, and motor elements is synthesized to a convenient set of parameters. By using them, you are able to change the quirks of the underlying organ model. This helps parallel the variances heard among individual examples of the physical instrument, and even allows replicating the effects of aging or out-of-spec electronics.

The new rotary speaker emulations are a deep dive into the 3D aural candy that makes tonewheel organs truly shine. Six unique cabinet models are complemented by four amps that provide extra warmth via our “Virtual Tube” technology. An additional guitar amp bus (with three models to choose from) runs parallel to the rotary for even more sound options.

A set of carefully selected pre- and post-amplification effects are integrated for good measure (and may all the measures you play be good!) Three manuals, each with its own drawbar set, as well as over 130 organ and FX parameters are MIDI controllable. You can save and share MIDI maps, sound presets, and in-app audio recordings. Factory presets include over 110 sounds varying from laid back Jazz ditties to gnarly, Purple-colored distortion extravaganzas.

KingB is ready to join your workflow as an AUv3. Both the app and the plugin are universal, and also support Apple Silicon Chip computers.
