I have had a few glitches, the Focusrite Asio driver would not load (solved - ish) and the app crashes when closing. BUT..... This is a VERY impressive clone. The best sounds I have heard, a really good Leslie and the presets are gonig to teach me lots about my real A100. I am sure the glitches wil go soon. Great jobn of teh interface too, really really good. very intuitive too.

Yes. Congratulations to IK Multimedia on the best virtual Hammond/Leslie emulation of them all. This comes the closest ever (if not identical) to my C-3 and 122 I gigged with for many years and now sits in my living room. I’ve only had B-3X less than a day and easily got on with it only with a few hours. I’m looking forward to using the software as my main virtual Hammond and am very excited about what great new features will be coming down the line in future updates. The only other software I’ve really been this excited about is Modartt’s Pianoteq - which I use exclusively for my piano). Looks like virtual modeling is getting better and better very quickly. Again, great job, IK! Best $149.99 I’ve spent!

$/€149.99 is the (introductory) Crossgrade price (I think that the qualification is that you have another IK Multimedia product listed at 99.99 or more)

$/€199.99 is the (introductory) full price.

And, of course, add VAT (don't blame IK Multimedia, it's down to the Government/EU)

I realized too late that I had $39 of Jampoints I could’ve knocked down the price even more to $110. I had qualifying IK products purchased earlier that made me eligible for the additional $50 off. That said, I still would’ve gone for it even at the higher $199 (might have had to think at $299 though.

I was thinking of getting the T-RackS Leslie anyway. I can always use the $39 towards that.

This is another great release in a series home runs that IKM has hit in the last few years. MODO Drum, Syntronik, Brian May Amplitube, AXE I/O... you guys are draining my bank account... :lol:

Yes, I agree that B-3X is another homerun.

I installed this yesterday, and am getting chills playing these keys. B-3X is so sweet sounding!!
