8 of 15I was looking for a piece of hardware that would emulate a Hammond B3 when attached to my Kurzweil. Then it occurred to me that someone has figured this out already in an app. Well thank goodness for Yonac. Since I found it, Galileo has consistently outstripped my expectations. If you don’t want to carry a Leslie cabinet and a full size B3, this is your answer.
Galileo 3.0 has one major issue that previous versions had, and that is keys get stuck in the ‘on’ position. We’ve tested several keyboards by M-Audio and Alesis, but the problem persists, which unfortunately makes Galileo too unreliable to use in a live situation. I’ve check enough posts online to see that this problem is not an isolated case, many keyboard players have experienced the same problem.
Currently the best faux B3 for iOS. Awesome.
please fix
The other apps work with midi but this and gallileo 2 won’t....it recognizes the midi as input in the settings but nothing plays...even when used with oher daws or through aum it plays through the virtual keyboard but not the external midi controller
Hello and to whom it may concern, I have the 64g iPad Air 2, and I have the Galileo 1 app installed along with Beatmaker 2 and others. The problem I'm having is that when I play the Beatmaker 2 app the Drawbars in Galileo app move with the rhythm and beat of Beatmaker 2 app thus changing the sound of the organ with every rhythm or beat. Can you fix this issue in the Galileo 1 app please. Thank you for your time and help with this matter.
Top notch realistic ergonomic aesthetic layout, features, and sound, plus a great source for a rare set of guitar effects like leslie and tube preamp!
I’ve bought this app to play on iPad for fun but I use it with my midi controller for portable key rig My studio 49 is 20 years old but still works with mio USB to midi and camera kit. For my sound output I Use iRig 2 and the amp out on it 1/4” mono out to amp Bought app when it came out. Thanks rob Nashville tn.
