Subject:Re: VB3 1.4 v 2.0 was mojo/vb3 vibrato

Thrust me: it's no "marketing illusion", VBRCE2 (ies, it stands for "Crumar Edition", was actually HE2 til a few months ago) is very different and has quite a superior emulation of both the hammond and the rotary. It's, however, far less tweakable than 1.4 is (main reason I use the desktop version even on the Mojo: you just can't get some sounds).

It was intended as a cut down preview of what VB3 2 will be, if Guido has changed his plans (I haven't asked him about this in almost two years) I don't know a thing about it.

Note Crumar refer to VB3 CE 2 (CE standing for Crumar Edition I guess), the updates announced by Crumar to CE2.1 all appear to relate to functional items and bug fixes - there is no mention of "enhanced leslie sim" for example.

I guess Guido is pioneering a new era of commercial realities in having a both a VSTi and a hardware board available in the market concurrently. The other hardware manufactures don't offer a VST alternative to their hardware. We could sure have some fun if Nord were to release the C2D software as a VST' for $65.00 as well a having it available as hardware for for $4k.
