Alternatives to B4II

I'm leery of the NI registration process. What is on par with B4II?

Hi Henge, I may be wrong, but AFAIK nothing. There are a few Hammond emulations, but none as good as the NI one. Just saw With An E's post - I'll have a look at it as you surely will do too. -Data

henge, I have B4II, and a couple of other NI instruments. Registration was cake, and support cleared up one problem I was having in a very timely manner. Kyle

Yeah, I have B4 II and it rules. I don't know about VB3, but nothing else I have tried has come close. I have had no problems with registering any NI product, and yes- they actually helped me a few times via e-mail. I was a bit wary of a huge company like NI being able to have decent support- but they solved my problems within 2 business days. Not bad- Not REAPER good- but not bad.

NuBiPlus is very good just try it

Yeah Nubi Plus is very nice and the 'price is right'! I'll add another *nod* to the NI registrations, I registered my synths and it was no problem at all.

+1 for VB3. NubiLE is also one alternative.

Another +1 for VB3. On the NI registration, I've found it to be good. I once had a complicated problem when I purchased a Kontakt 2 cross grade. But it was my fault because, as it turned out, I was trying to do the cross grade against the wrong product. NI gave excellent support and sorted it out. I always got a response within 2 days. Pete

Thanks for the replies gentlemen!Gonna try the VB3 demo tonight. I've worked with B4II and loved it, but nothing sounds like the real thing, live and onstage . A band I was in gladly carted around a leslie because it sounded so friggen good!

no problem with NI registration here. VB3 is great, though. it will be difficult do physically fake a leslie live. with good quality stereo speakers you can get close enough, though. also, there are modern rotating speakers made by motion sound.
