GG-Audio Blue3 v2 [Exciting, Deep] Review

GG-Audio Blue3 Review

If you’ve been following along with Reviewer’s Revival since a while, you know that I’m a huge Hammond organ aficionado. That said, I’m always excited at the prospect of reviewing any newcomer to the specialized niche of tonewheel organ emulation. Early in 2017, such a newcomer was introduced to us by independent developer, Ray (just Ray); founder and owner of GG-Audio.

Early adoption of GG-Audio’s “Blue3” wasn’t as accelerated as hoped for. For one thing, the naming convention is not dissimilar to Rob Papen’s favored soft synth, “Blue 2”. Another plausible conjecture was the unexpected default color scheme used by “Blue3” – you guessed it: blue.

. . . Blue?

If you’re an ol’ skool Hammond maven like I am, you’re expecting to see warm, earthy hues, and graphical textures reminiscent of walnut, cherry, and mahogany woods. Thankfully, these are now the very skin choices within Blue3 v2. And since I've mentioned UI (User Interface) choices, I’m very pleased to report that Blue3’s UI is fully re-sizable between 70 to 200 percent – sure to accommodate most contemporary screen resolutions.

Overall, I assess Blue3 v2 to be solid prospect for anyone in need of a good quality tonewheel organ VI (Virtual Instrument). I know many of us have long held GSI’s “VB3” in high regard, considering it to be the de facto standard where modelled tonewheel emulations are concerned. However, Blue3 v2 is a worthy contender and is poised to offer itself as a fit challenger.

Priced moderately at $99 (USD), Blue3 won’t break anyone’s bank account, but neither can it be considered a cheap, ‘No brainer’ deal.  However, Blue3 v2 does not emulate a single organ – rather, it distinctly models five different tonewheel organs; as well as boasting exquisite, high resolution/retina-ready graphics (resizable, to boot). This VI produces good quality Hammond tones and a convincing rotating speaker (Leslie®) experience. Taking these laudable factors into view, Blue3 v2 rapidly appreciates in value.

Let’s flip those Run and Start switches shall we . . .
