setBfree

setBfree is a MIDI-controlled software synthesizer designed to imitate the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie.

Features:

setBfree is a Tonewheel Organ Construction Kit, a physical model with over 1000 configurable parameters. Like a real B3 one can 'open it' and tweak parameters from mint'53 condition (default) to dusty tube 80's run-down.

When running on zynthian, setBfree offers 7 pre-defined keyboard configurations combining manuals and pedals:

• Upper: 1 keyboard (1 x MIDI channel)
• Upper + Lower: 2 keyboards (2 x MIDI channels)
• Upper + Pedals: 2 keyboards (2 x MIDI channels)
• Upper + Lower + Pedals: 3 keyboards (3 x MIDI channels)
• Split Lower/Upper: 1 keyboard (1 x MIDI channel)
• Split Pedals/Upper: 1 keyboard (1 x MIDI channel)
• Split Pedals/Lower/Upper: 1 keyboard (1 x MIDI channel)

On zynthian, setBfree also offers 4 types of waveform for the tone-wheel generator:

• Sine: Hammond sound
• Square: Combo organ sound
• Triangle: Combo organ sound
• Sawtooth: Combo organ sound

All controls can be assigned to MIDI-CC as needed via the MIDI-learn mechanism.
