i have selected 7 free drawbar organ VSTi emulations of the Hammond B3.
Let’s groove :
1. AZR3 by Rumpelrausch
Not only free, it’s also open source.
This is a very good drawbar emulation, with onboard FX, nice saturation, and the speaker leslie emulation. Perfect for emulating gospel organ and rock organ. And check the “NHL” preset!
