Pocket Organ C3B3 – a musical keyboard application for iPhone/iPod touch that simulates the Hammond Organ – has been updated to version 1.4.
New in Pocket Organ C3B3 1.4:
- CoreMIDI & MIDI Mobilizer support
- minor & Major pentatonic scale
- minor & Major blues scaled keys
Pocket Organ C3B3 is a musical keyboard application for iPhone/iPod touch that simulates the Hammond Organ.
The sound is generated with the synthesis of the waveforms from “Virtual Tonewheel System” controlled by 9 drawbars like the actual Hammond Organ.
Pocket Organ C3B3 has a rotary speaker effect like the Leslie speaker, which adds amazing realistic character and spatial depth on your organ playing. This effect can be changed to Fast (Tremolo), Slow (Chorale), or even Off (brakes).
Features:
- Authentic emulated sounds generated from “Virtual Tonewheel System” mixed by sliding 9 drawbars
- 61key + 61key, 5-octave Dual Keyboards with switchable key width (only for iPone/iPod touch, 8 white keys or 10 white keys on screen)
- Scrollable Keyboard that can be configured to your own octave key range on screen with 4 preset buttons
- Key transpose function (You can play a music of any key in the key of C)
- Rotary Speaker effect can be changed to Fast (Tremolo), Slow (Chorale), or even Off (brakes).
- Harmonic Percussion effect with adjustable decay, 2nd and 3rd harmonic
- Keyclick noise effect
- Built-in Reverb that simulates spring reverb
- Overdrive effects
- Scanner vibrato & chorus
- Shake your iPhone to play spring shock (reverb crash) effect like Jon Lord (keyboard player of Deep Purple) or Keith Emerson (a member of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer, ELP).
- iPhone’s built-in accelerometer gives you amazing glissando effect control.
- 20 Factory Presets containing typical settings used by Rock, Jazz or Gospel Sounds
- You can add the User Memory Bank that allows you to store your own 20 patches (drawbars & effects settings) & Preset Packages with In App Purchase.
Pocket Organ C3B3 is $2.99 in the App Store.
Nice update.
If this sounded good, this alone would have been a reason for me to buy an iPad. Sadly it doesn't.
and so said the "iPadist"
Our friends here in the US run Geoff, so it's not like we don't have the real deal to play. Just saying'
With the update, you can now control the drawbars using midi CC's (but there's no midi learning). I suggest for a next update that Midi notes sent under C1 would control the basses (right now if you play the C0 key on your keyboard you will hear C1 actually, which is useless).
Good job, sounds fine to my ears.
Absolutely! It was a cheap app, so I bought it to play with a while ago, but it certainly doesn't sound good enough to be very useful yet.
I wish there were Midi in/out/thru preference options as I would like to make sure MIdi is working properly. Other than that, I like the App!.
Fast Leslie needs to be 30% slower or controllable otherwise a great app!

certainly sounds ‘decent’ in the live context
Yes, when can we expect the next update? I 2nd the comment on contolable Midi cc’s.
I have the Pocket Organ B3C3 loaded on my Ipad 1.
In the preset packs, the demo from “Progressive Rock” from memory sounds a lot like the keyboard part from the Who song “Won’t Get Fooled Again”.
I have the Progressive Rock patch downloaded and despite all my fiddling and tweaking, I can’t seem to repproduce that sound. Can anyone help me with this?
I have iPad Air and I was playing my c3b3 pocket organ on my for 3 mounts and it doesn’t have sound right now and it is mute status, I need your help what should I do? Please. Thanks.
Would someone please post the specific preset lists in each preset package. I am most interested in knowing what the Progressive Rock package contains. Thanks !
Is there midi control of the Leslie?
