Hybrid B2-B3
8Dio Studio Vintage Series represents the most comprehensively deep-sampled collection of vintage keyboards, recorded at Scotland’s Premiere Recording Studio: Gorbals Sound. The 8Dio Studio Vintage Organ is no exception, being a faithful representation of our very own B2 – B3 Hybrid Hammond® Organ.
While many other attempts at capturing factory standard Hammonds® in the past featured heavily on the Direct signal (D.I). We instead purposely chose to record the Organ in its natural state, using vintage and immaculately maintained Leslie cabinets. In fact, we used two independent Leslies (and blew up a third): one to capture the genre defining rotations at all speeds, and another with a modified motor to record the pure unhindered tone of the Leslie itself.
Both Leslies are available within the 8Dio Vintage Organ. “Analog” highlights the natural acoustics of the Hammond® Leslie and its expressive spinning states. “Modelled” demonstrates the static, non-spinning, pure timbre of the Leslie cabinet, with a virtual rotation applied. This allows you to choose the tone and workflow that best suits you.
It has been our mission to push sampling forwards in our entire vintage keys range. From realism to playability 8Dio Studio Vintage Organ offers the best of all worlds.

What sets the Hammond® Vintage Organ apart from competitors is not just the great recordings, programming, or stunning lay-out, but also the wealth of features that allow you to dial in precisely the sound you want. You can control the mix of draw bar tones, the percussion settings, the internal effects, and even the choice of Leslie cabinets and spinning modes.
Superior Reverbs
We sampled the Hammond® Organ through two of the best studio reverbs in the world: TC6000 and Bricasti. We sampled the Hammond® using a pristine signal path designed by some of the world's best engineers.
World-Class Microphones
The Hammond® Vintage Organ includes Neumann u87’s, KM 184’s, Neve SE Ribbons, Royers, and AKG 414’s, all pointing to two independent Leslie Cabinets. Along with the mixed microphone options, you also have true vintage DI Crush and DI Warm channels.
