[LAU] VB3?

So we did a show the other night warming up for a band that had a keyboard player (first time ever that a band we've worked with has had a keyboard player), and of course we had fun geeking out during and after soundcheck comparing notes on our gear (he had a Mac laptop, a Nord Electro, couple controllers, a Dave Smith module, TalkBox, and tons of pedals).

His Hammond sound was quite good, and he said it was VB3. I looked it up:

Hmm. They're based in Italia, where is also the company that bought the rights to Beatrix. I have to wonder, is VB3 actually Beatrix?

Also, I have to remark that it's always both fun and awkward discussing my setup with other electronic musicians, sound engineers, or keyboard players. They ask questions like "what host do you use?". Umm... whaddya mean "host"? You mean JACK? And a bunch of C and Python and Bash code that I wrote? They look at me real funny. It's awkward but I like it.
