What is the sound difference between VB3-II v.1.1.1 and VB3-II v.2.0.0?

The main sound engine is basically the same. The 2023 edition uses the exact same organ engine as VB3-II v.1.1.1, only some minor functional adjustments have been done to accomodate it into the new plugin, but with zero impact on the sound.

On the other hand, the new VB3-II 2023 Edition can combine both the organ and the rotary speaker engines with those from the old VB3 version 1 (which also powers VB3m), and adds some effects such as the ring modulator, the delay and the limiter.

But if you switch off all effects and compare the sole organ engine V2 from VB3-II v.1.1.1 and VB3-II v.2.0.0 you'll hear the exact same sound. All organ parameters respond the same way.

This is also the reason why an update to the GSi Gemini or to other hardware instruments based on VB3-II wasn't needed.

VB3-II 2023 Edition offers the same sound of the previous version but in a new package, with some added functionalities and with the ability to combine the sound with that from VB3 v.1.
