C'est devenu un classique. Un pti coup de nappe de Hammond derrière une maquette et ce plug s'avère moins lourd à déplacer que l'original et sa cabine ! Bien fichu et possibilités d'édition et de cradouillage des sons très ludiques. 10/10.

Tous le monde doit l'avoir ce B4 depuis moultes années ; et personne ne donne son avis... ?
Je lorgnais dessus depuis des années et je viens enfin de me l'offrir. Excellent instru : tant les sons de hammond avec des noms de patch évocateurs, que les vieux bazars type farfiza et cie. Un logiciel qui a bonne réputation et qui ne déçoit pas quand on l'achète.
Voilà !
