First the setup.
Logic 10.7.7 on a MacBook Pro M2.
B3-V2 version 2.8.0.3420 (arm64)
Had a client send a file recorded in logic on the Vintage B3 plugin. I often find I prefer the Arturia V plugins so I thought I'd copy the track, replace with B3-V2 on the copied track, copy over the settings and voila! much better sounding organ track.
Found a couple of issues.
1. B3-V2 home key is an octave up from the Logic stock plugin. OK, no problem, transpose down an octave and we're good. Wait, there's still a problem.
2. B3-V2 sounds horrific with the track. When I stop and play both the Logic stock Vintage B3 and the B3-V2 at same time from controller, the B3-V2 is playing a half step up. Very Strange.
I checked tuning (440Hz) on the plugin and the tuning in logic (also set to 440Hz - Equal Temperament)
OK, transpose down another half step and all should be good. Right?
Mostly - the scale (temperament) seems to be a bit different going up, even with Leslies, chorusing, etc bypassed on both instruments - pulled just the 8' drawbar on both and the difference is noticeable and bothersome.
I'm trying to figure a good way to test between them for this. I have a strobe tuner at home, so when I get there I can try that to determine what the tuning differential is.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ken
