I decided to buy this app; it's expensive for an iPad app, but to have a 'real' Hammond-sanctioned B3 emulator, with a great Leslie effect too, seemed worth it. I have been playing it and comparing to my Genos ... the IK B-3X app to my ears sounds MUCH better as a drawbar/B3 emulation, and I like the Leslie effects in it much more than the "Real Rotary" effect on the Genos.

I'm not surprised to hear that you feel the B3x and its Leslie sim sound much better than your Genos. Once, a local musician demonstrated for me the organ sounds in his Yamaha arranger and his Hammond XK series keyboard. Yamaha wasn't bad, but it was pretty easy to tell that the Hammond XK keyboard was much closer to its own Hammond sounds. I'm sure that Hammond-Suzuki shared their secret recipe with IK Multimedia. Perhaps that's why they jacked up the prices for both PC/Mac and IOS versions. I haven't purchased the PC version yet as I have other organ plugins. Besides, IK Multimedia has big sales once in a while. I hope that Korg doesn't get the wrong idea when they introduce their IOS version of Triton.
