Does anyone have any recommendations for a good vst organ? I'm would be using it mostly for country, and heartland rock.

Free is great, but willing to pay as well.

thanks!

You can get a lot of mileage out of GSI's FREE ORANGIzed Trio organ - GIVE IT A TRY

http://www.kvraudio.com/product/organized_trio_by_gsi

I have more than a few B3 libs, and some very UN-CHEAP ones, but it's sometimes hard to beat some of my old HW synths (especially from my old Alesis QS8/QSR) or the long standing GSI VB3 plug in (same guy who gives you the free - donation ware - ORGANIzed Trio)

http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=24

but that one is NOT free.

Frankly, at that price there will be a lot of arguments made for Kontatk libs, or Dimension Pro & CW Sound Center add-ons , or SampleTank add-ons, or UVI workstation add ons, etc. - like Pianos everyone will have favorites that they swear by

If you're looking for background stuff, it's hard to beat Real tracks in real band....which you already should have.

If you're going to cover Deep Purple's Lazy... yeah you'll need a good VST.

The free ones are generally one trick ponies and often not very good.

http://www.vstplanet.com/Instruments/Organ.htm

Not free: http://syntheway.com/master_hammond_b3.htm only $35 and sounds halfway decent from listening to the demos. And it has a free demo you can DL.

What you think is good might differ from my opinion. And the ultimate use in a song... as far as the tone and overall sound will vary as to what fits and what doesn't.

I agree with Larry that the ORGANized Trio organ is a versatile instrument.

I've used it for a long time now and think it's superb. The pre-sets are good, but with a bit of tweaking you can get most Hammond sounds out of it. It will even add some B3 distortion and key click if you want it.

Editing is easy, because you've got all the traditional drawbars to work with, so a bit of experimenting usually produces the required result.

Oh, and free is always good.

Very very cool! Thanks for all of the recommendations. I guess I will use the free, and demo versions and go from there.

I know you would all come threw!

I would be more than happy to rent you some time on it just so it wouldn't be "weird" laugh

but yeah, the commute would be killer for you cause i don't deliver. smile

Here's another good one I had forgotten about. it used to be cheaper and I have an older version of it that I used before I got Kontakt Vintage organs.

but it's worth the money even at this price cause they've updated it a lot.

I used Organized Trio until I won VB3 in a songwriting contest. VB3 is used inside the clonewheel hardware organ, Mojo.

I don't think there are better old school electromechanical keyboard vsti than what Guido has at GSi.
