Awesome B3!
Nice plugin, impressive emulation! Just, I hope in the future the UAD team can enable the machine authorization, so we don't need an internet connection all the time.

Waterfall B3

I would like to see UA improve the Waterfall rotary speed midi options. I am used to Air's DB-33 organ, where it is easy to assign the rotary speed (slow / brake / fast) to an expression pedal, so you can play with both hands and change speed with your foot (left in my case). UA defaults to the rotary speed being controlled by the Mod wheel (so you have to take your left hand off the keys to modify it), or you can assign it to the sustain pedal but then it only switches between fast and slow. No "Brake".
Another thing is some people complain is about harshness in the upper frequencies. I notice that as well when the Vibrato is on, or when some of the upper drawer bars are full extended. I compared it to the DB-33 and where the Waterfall is sometimes harsh in the upper frequencies, the DB-33 is also harsh in the lower frequencies.
When it comes to the Leslie, however, the UA Leslie is far superior.
So I like this instrument very much and with little effort, it can be made to sound superior to the DB-33, but the lack of expression control for the rotary speed is a downfall that I bet would be issue to fix.
Also, so many people want plugins ported to Spark. I'm the opposite - I would love to be able to stack the Waterfall Leslie in Console, after a Unison amp plug-in, but that's not in the cards right now. Sure, I could add the Leslie in PT but then I am working with latency issues which is what Apollo handles so well. Native stinks when its the only option. We have paid a tiny fortune for these DSPs and I would like to use them to their max.F. Manteghian

Tried and bought immediately. Note to UAD: You should make an acoustic guitar emulator.
This is the first virtual instrument I've ever bought immediately on demoing it: Electra 88 Keyboard, also Waterfall Organ and then Waterfall Rotary Speaker. All amazing, almost the second I dropped them into my mix. Instantly legitimate sound.
I'm writing this review to praise it, but also in hopes that Universal Audio will hear my plea for a next-level acoustic guitar emulator (play electric, get acoustic sound). Something better and different than all the other acoustic guitar simulators, something that takes the signal from an electric guitar and then models it through some old vintage blues acoustics, nashville dreadnaughts etc. It would be amazing for in the box recording.
Thanks UA, this stuff is great.U. Oehm

Beautiful, but unreliable for me
I LOVE how the B3 sounds, when it's working right, but sometimes it only makes harsh noises for me, and on one occasion it started out fine but then suddenly would only play the lowest octave of an already recorded MIDI track. I suspect these are compatibility problems—I'm running this in Cubase on an M2 Mac—but the problems do seem to be unique to this one instrument. I tend not to try to solve these kinds of problems, but instead to switch to a different instrument (even if I don't like it as well), so that I can keep working. In other words, some of the blame for this might be on me and my work habits. I'm more an end user than a tech-person.

More than an emulation… it’s an instrument
I used to think B3 organ plug-ins were the same… That is until I tried this one. It surpasses all the others, not only in sound, but in feel as well. Something about Waterfall B3 that allows me to play this thing like an actual instrument as opposed to a simple plug-in emulation. It has immediately become my go to organ plug-in.
C. Thordin
Getting the real sound for unreal small money!
Very useful in the studio...
R. Rutle
Full and juicy
From using competitors B3 emulations, this felt like a wonderful and complete update. Fills in its space in the mix and can carry a song as a lead instrument if you like. The leslie has a wonderful fullness, texture and space to it.

Buen audio pero…
El audio es increíble, el unico problema que en pro tools a veces falla y las notas quedan sonando si parar. Para arreglarlo hay que desactivar y volver a activar el plugin

Awesome!
