Unimpressive and a waste of space on any hard drive

It's full unremarkably dull, low quality sounds. For all the good things I hear about it, it simply doesn't compare to any of the presets I've used in synthesizers or romplers I own and those aren't dedicated organs. I can see why many Komplete owners keep it though. It's only real purpose is to fill a niche that they are likely unfamiliar with so it's only natural that they would be drawn in to something that for all intents and purposes is free for them because NO ONE actually buys Komplete (any version) for this library.

Good write-up. Thanks for being clear in your reasons. I appreciate that NI has that manager app that enables you to only install the instruments and fx you want/need. I don't think I've ever even installed this one.

Solid but not perfect.

If you need hammond mock up tones,this does it really good, but it sounds very dead compare to real deal so it need quite post processing to make it shine in the mix,still it will not sound realistic thou. Nevertheless it is far from sounding bad,middle ground I would say. If you have no bucks for more expensive library, and you do not need to sound extra realistic then this one if for you.If your whole song depends on the sound of this insturment then skip it. My honest opinion.
