It works with elven. AZR-3 sounds fantastic! I will consider it the answer to the question I asked a while ago: is there a free-as-in-freedom B3 out there?

It's not perfect: it's not really using tonewheels, just slightly warped sine waves. At some point I'm sure someone will just grab samples of the some of the actual tonewheels on a Hammond, make wavetables of them, and modify AZR-3 to use those. It's GPL so that's possible.

Its Leslie sounds as good to me as the TAP Rotary Speaker LASDSPA plugin, and seems to have less latency, too. It also has the speedup/slowdown code and even an adjustment for belt tightness, which the TAP plugin lacks. Nice.

I built it using the recent slv2 release. There was one minor problem, which I think I sent to Lars off-list, regarding a missing file, but after I came up with an awful hack to get around that, it built and it works. Yay!

I will also try ingen, so as to get it going without a GUI, but elven was much easier to build than ingen.

It remains to be seen how (if) any of this runs on a 64-bit machine, but I'll try that next.
