HANON B70 is a virtual instrument that faithfully recreates the iconic Hammond B3 organ paired with a Leslie 122 speaker. It employs physical modeling of 91 tone wheels that continuously rotate, delivering authentic key clicks and rich organ tones with minimal CPU demand. The Leslie simulation includes tube preamp and power amp emulations as well as two rotating speakers with detailed reflections, capturing the classic swirling sound that defines jazz and rock organ performances.

This instrument offers extensive control over the organ’s sound characteristics, including adjustable percussion levels, decay, harmonic content, reverb, chorus, and vibrato effects. The Leslie speaker’s speed can be modulated via MIDI controller, allowing dynamic expression during play. Two separate channels with independent drawbar settings and a split mode enhance performance possibilities, enabling players to emulate classic dual-keyboard setups. The software supports various sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz and includes full MIDI learn functionality for intuitive control.

Recent updates have improved the chorus, vibrato, and Leslie simulation by adding secondary reflections and better stereo imaging, while introducing adjustable leakage emulation for added realism. Version 1.2.2 expands usability with a resizable interface, full MIDI control, user presets, and compatibility with iOS devices via a dedicated app featuring a virtual keyboard. HANON B70 combines authentic sound modeling with modern flexibility, making it a powerful tool for capturing the classic organ sound in contemporary music production.
