Ratings and reviews

I am surprised how it suddenly became available for my device. Seems you got my message. To purchase this App is one the best decisions I made. Thanks Dev

A bit in doubt. Yes, it's a good organ with lots of options and a nice sound. But, how to select the midi-port for input? VB3 just grabs the first available port. It does not present itself as a virtual port to other apps. Nothing about this in the manual. So how do I control and integrate this into my midi-setup? Other things: UI is low-res, volume output is low, no option to keep screen on. It is the only real B3 in the store .. but overprised as midi implementation is limited.

I have the VB3 1.4 (the original) and VB3 II VST plugins that I run on Windows laptops. VB3m is running just as well on my Pixel 4a. That amazes me because the similar IK piano products for Android didn't work well with midi keyboards. I have created a mount for the phone on my EMU XBoard 49 that I can play VB3m with powered just by the phone for 3 hours. Great job GSI !!!!

What’s new
