Master Hammond is a Audio Unit,
VST and VST3 plugin based on the legendary B-3 to recreate the classic
and robust tonewheel organ and Leslie rotating speaker cabinet sound with a warm
and powerful sound capable of all the variations one expects from this type of
organ. Suitable for any genre of music, be it Rock, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Pop and
even more with the convenience of software controls.
Available
for macOS as plugin in
Audio
Unit (.component), VST (.vst) and VST3 (.vst3) formats.
The Audio Unit
Component, VST and VST3 plug-ins requires of a MIDI
Controller to play this virtual instrumentof and a
compatible host, digital audio workstation (DAW) or MIDI
sequencer that supports Audio Units and VST technology. They
can be "plugged in" to process audio by applications such as
Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubase, Ableton Live, REAPER, Studio
One Professional, Ardour, MainStage and Digital Performer
among others.
The software
package is distributed via Internet in an Apple Disk Image
DMG file and compatible with macOS and all previous OS X.

• Chorale / Tremolo Speed Modulator: The slow and fast sampled Leslie (Model
122) effects on most instruments can be modeled even with the LFO section,
which applies modulation to the selected
instrument giving that 'Chorale'
(slow) or 'Tremolo' (fast) rotation speeds. Not like the original half moon
switch, but turning
knobs with the advantage of customizing finely those effects.
Ø Rate:
This knob controls the frequency. Turn clockwise for a faster
modulation rate. Ø Depth:
This knob controls the amplitude. With a lower setting, the
resulting modulation is subtle, while a higher depth will result
in a much more extreme effect.
The following combo
boxes settings adds motion or variability to sounds:
ØWaveForm: Switches between
‘Triangle’, ‘Sine’, ‘Saw’, ‘Square’ and ‘Exponential’ waveforms.
ØSource: Switches between ‘Modulation
Wheel’, ‘Aftertouch’ and ‘Velocity’. ØDestination: Switches between
‘Pitch’, ‘Expression’ and ‘Pan’ modulation.
•
ADSR envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters:
Ø Attack
determines the time it takes for the note to get to the maximum level. Ø Decay
determines the time it takes for the note to go from the maximum level
to the sustain level (controlled by Sustain). Ø Sustain
determines the level of the sound is played at while the note is held (after
the other envelope states, Attack and Decay, have been completed). Ø Release
determines the time it takes for the note to fall from the sustain level
to zero (silence) level when it is released.
• Pitch Bend: The Pitch Bend knob directly changes the pitch of the selected
instrument.
Ø Pitch
Bend center position: is normal pitch. Ø Pitch
Bend down: Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when the
pitch bend/modulation lever is moved to the left. Ø Pitch
Bend up: Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when the
pitch bend/modulation lever is moved the right.
• Reverb built-in: provides a spaciousness and depth to simulate the
sound reflections from walls, floors and ceilings following a sound created
in an acoustically reflective environment. Small rooms can be modeled as
well as large spaces.
• Filter Type. Combo box to switch between the following options:
Ø Low
Pass (LPF): a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a
certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher
than the cutoff frequency. Ø High
Pass (HPF): a filter that passes signals with a frequency higher than a
certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies lower
than the cutoff frequency. Ø None:
No filter is applied. Ø Cutoff
Frequency Filter: Sets the cutoff frequency for the low pass and high
pass filters.
• Amplitude Range Parameters: It controls the loudness, the way in which we
perceive amplitude.The sensitivity level is set by the user:
• Panning potentiometer control: Set the panning of the instrument. Adjusts
the stereo pan position of the signal output, which determines how much of
signal is sent to the left and right channels.
