The Ferrofish B4000+ is a stunningly faithful re-creation of the beloved Hammond B3 organ in a compact module with true physical drawbars. Powered by SHARC DSP, the B4000+ is an uncanny emulation of the tonewheel classic, with all of the quirks and charms of its inspiration - but at a fraction of the cost and an even smaller fraction of the size! With its intuitive interface, the B4000+ makes it easy to access all of its tone-shaping capabilities, which let you customize the sound, down to the age and condition of the organ.

The Ferrofish B4000+ is a backpack-sized B3 with a huge array of classic sounds! If you enjoyed this video with Roger Smith, make sure you hit those like and subscribe buttons!
The first I heard of this instrument was a mislabeled amazon listing. I was searching for digital recorders, and this doodad was listed as a Ferrofish B4000+ -digital personal recorder. There was next to no info in the listing, so I came to YT and found this video. Amazing! I've not been tempted to play organ until stumbling in here. Mr. Smith, you do a fine job showing off the B4000!
When anyone from Tower of Power talks, you should listen! Jazz Hands!
Yes! lol to jazz hands!
Great to see Ferrofish demoed by such a master!
Thanks so much for a fantastic demonstration
Love your playing!
great demo!
Amazing.! !!
Hey Mr.Smith ,that's something else,I can hear it now on Walkin Up Hip Street.
You made me a believer, had to get one…lol!
That outro shed so godly smhhhhhh.
I'm getting this I need it❤
Big-O! Show time!
Great price!
I wish i could play like you do :)
P.S Somebody tell Roger I still listen to his "Both Sides" CD! It's still "Off The Hook"!
Me too! Roger played on my CDs when I lived in Sacramento. A dear friend and legendary musician.
A lot lighter than a b3.... :)
Tower of Power Yeah!!! Im waiting for the Behringer "Solina Strings" desktop
oooh he is good. :) nice!
Very Informative!! I just want to put one of these on my Roland Atelier, so I can have the extra Hammond Sounds! Thank you for the great explanation!
This is likely an ignorant question, but that's why I'm asking it; can this be used to extend the voices etc on a real tonewheel organ ie B-3, C-3, A100 etc? Thanks in advance for considering my request! 🎹🎹🎹✌
Seems very amazing- do the drawbars and knobs send real-time MIDI for recording movements?
Hi, Greg! Thanks for the interest. That's a really good question. You can control just about every parameter on the B4000+ from an external MIDI controller, but I'm actually not certain whether the drawbars and knobs send MIDI CC's over USB. I'd like to double check with my contacts who work with Ferrofish. I'll circle back here as soon as I have a definitive answer for you. Feel free to contact me directly if you have further questions in the meantime, and thanks again!

@@sweetwater Great, thank you!
@@greggiacona238 Hi there Greg, Caleb from Sweetwater here again. I heard back from the folks over at Ferrofish. They let me know that the drawbars and controls on the B4000+ do not send out any MIDI data over the USB connection. They only control the onboard sounds in real time. Hope this clears things up. Let me know if I can look into anything else for you!

@@sweetwater such a loss. that would have been great
hi there, I have the Ferro since 2017, and I like it very much, though, the Rotary effect is too weak, so I recommend to add a Ventilator (have the Mini) , than it would be almost unbeatable right!
Ya it sounds like a cheap rip-off. Course, a B3 now goes for around $14K in great condition. Used to get them for $800 all day long and that wasn't that long ago.*
This unit has been around along time...wonder if this is a newer model?.. sounded better than I remember years ago..back then the Leslie sim was very weak.
Re-hash of Creamware/Sonic-Core B4000 of the mid 2000s? (the only one missing in my collection of their hardware ASBs: I still have the Minimax, Prodyssey and Pro12)
2 Questions: 1) Can you assign no rotary to the bass pedal sound? if u want a clean bass tone which leads to question 2) Can I assign a second keyboard (connected via midi) to control both the Lower and Pedal sound? I think If I setup a split in the midi controller, it should work but was wondering if the device can assign it by itself?
Hi Marcus,
Great question! I am not seeing a way to take the rotary off the bass sounds in the B4000+. There are two MIDI inputs so assigning a second keyboard would work to control a lower manual and/or pedal bass. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

How do you connect the module to a current USB out keyboard?
Hi Frank, great question. If your keyboard only has MIDI over USB and no 5-pin output, then you would need to connect the keyboard to a computer and then the computer to the B4000+. If you need help finding a MIDI controller that could be used without a computer, feel free to reach out. Thanks!

I wish yall make more videos of this and get a gospel musician so he or she can turn off that organ click and get that hammond leslie sound
👍🏾
No distortion or drive settings --????/
😎 🎶☮️❤️✌️👌🏻
The audio out is only mono?
I was wondering the same thing, the manual wasn’t super helpful. It’s looks like it may be a stereo jack, so I think you can use a y cable for stereo. But I would love more clarification on it.
Hi, Nurredin. Great question! The audio and phones outputs accept a 1/4" TRS cable which will give you a stereo output that you can then convert to a dual mono TS if needed.
Feel free to reach out with any other questions. Thanks!

@@sweetwater Thank you! You guys are always the best whenever a question is asked. It's why I ONLY shop at Sweetwater!
@@ianflurrance8438 Maybe you could use a Y cord and run it in dual mono- faux stereo. delay one of the Y chord outputs and simulate a Leslie rotary - if you want- as best you can, or save up for Motion Sound's excellent Pro 3 amplifier with a nice Leslie rotary sound from a real rotary horn and speaker! I want a Pro 3 to complement and "complete" my Motion Sound key Pro KP200s stereo keyboard amp. Have fun, and keep on playing!
Hi a good tutorial. Tankyou for times work to us. Very incredibble demo. I need know your setup midi chanell between ferrofish and Roland keyboards an another your midi controller. Help me for my korg pa 4x 76 keys and midicontroller m-audio four octave, and my imac retina with mother audio M-Audio 296.Follow me for setup on programmable setup between lover, pedal bass, and upper , becouse korg pa 4x is a keyboards arranger and i don't remember chanell midi for setup bass, acc1 and 2, lower and upper, help me please.Y've two hands incredible gold.Comply.Regard.Escuse me fir my non good english write. Modesto
Can't hear the bass !!!
No rotary slow/fast switch??!!! Huge mistake! unacceptable!
Foot switch?
I agree! One will have to buy a really good rotary pedal to simulate rotary and Leslie speeds as creamy goodness!
I used to own and appreciate my Oberheim OB-3 module. It was heavier and it sounded really good. I think that it had 2 speeds- fast and slow- that were manually controlled (Just push a button to select the speed.) This seems like a really great module on the whole. What's its price and the range of new and used prices?
You can assign it to the mod wheel on the keyboard/ controller you're using actually... Mod wheel positions
Down =Slow
Centre= Brake
Up = Fast..
u can u a sustain pedal as your rotary switch controls.. You can set it for 2 or 3 positions.. You'll just have to keep hitting the pedal to toggle thru the different rotary speeds
Sounds like a toy! Make it sound as good as GSI 2 or other similar virtual tone wheel organs and I will buy it......I'd be happy to pay for it!
We all know the sound in this unit is flawed, there's plenty of better alternatives, both hardware and software, out there!
