First time I'd actually consider putting a software B3 on a record
This thing sounds awesome! It really feels and sounds like the real deal. Moreover, it's not easy (and requires a lot of gear) to actually record a B3 so truthfully as this! I can always...

First time I'd actually consider putting a software B3 on a record
This thing sounds awesome! It really feels and sounds like the real deal. Moreover, it's not easy (and requires a lot of gear) to actually record a B3 so truthfully as this! I can always tell when someone used a Nord or similar, but this thing is so good that I'd actually feel comfortable using it on a record.
My only wish is that you'd also get the Leslie as a separate plugin, as it would be stellar on vocals, piano and guitar..K. Korade

The new benchmark for virtual B3's. My previous got was the UVI B5, and that still has a richer deeper tone for some applications. But the leslie on the Waterfall is leagues ahead, rich and lush! Great plugin. Please make the leslie independently available so I can stick my guitars through it!

Great Organ/great price.
This is a great sounding organ especially at the current sale price. It is well worth it. FYI. Download process is different from the standard UA plugins because it is one of the Spark plugins.

Finally!
I have waited a long time for a B3 that sounded realistic. The wait is over. This is AMAZING!

Looks good but how does it compare to IK Multimedia Hammond B3-X?
Was quite excited to try this new hammond B3 but was quite dissapointed in what sounds it was capapable of when compared with the IK multimedia Hammond B3-X.
Also the transpose +/- doesnt work!! cant believe they would release this without this working.
Has some great sounds but lacking compared with other B3 plugins.R. Nagy
Love at first sight
I have many B3-like soft instrument. Some is good enough, some is not so bad and some is horrible. I tried the Waterfall when the Spark had released. It was obvious after a short period than Waterfall is more interesting, more "organic", more authentic representation of B3 in every aspect as the others. Waterfall IS the sound. I like it very much. Thanks the summer sale I could bought it.

Demo it !! You will end up buying it if you are looking for that true Hammond sound
I have been around Hammonds for over 50 years both using them and repairing them. This is the real deal, but don't take my word for it, just demo it yourself, If you don't end up buying it, you aren't really looking for a Hammond analog, it is simply that good !!

Love at first sight
I tried Waterfall B3 in that moment when UAD Spark had released. I have many B3 emulating software instrument, but I'm dissatisfied with all of them to some degree. Each is more or less appropriate, but Waterfall B3 is the first that provide the feeling: "this is THE sound". I think currently the Waterfall B3 is the best B3-like software instrument in the market.

Exceeded expectations
By far the best B3 organ VI that I have ever used. The Leslie cabinet and mic choices are fantastic as well. If this is any indication of UA's future virtual instruments, I am very excited!
E. Hasselberg
Who knows?
Stupid me bought this thing and thought that I was able to use it. So now I am waiting for UAD to release spark for Windows so I can check this thing out.
B. Verbaan
Beautiful organ
I love this organ! Better than the NI that I tend to use when using software. It does unfortunately make MainStage a little unstable, not being able to prosess audio correctly from time to time, getting popups with error messages.
R. Gael
Super rich, so fun
Waterfall adds a powerful richness to the mix, such a vibe maker. Also, rotary speaker for life. Glad it's available through the new Spark and can work on any DAW. Def recommend!
