Hands-on software control

With the B4D drawbar controller Native Instruments now offers a perfect hardware controller for the B4, allowing musicians to control the sound with an authentic drawbar feel, just like the original. The sturdy B4D drawbar controller offers 9 mechanical drawbars, 22 buttons, and 2 knobs for intuitive control over the most important B4 sound parameters. The controller’s nine drawbars can access any of the three B4 drawbar groups. With the buttons and knobs you can control the rotary speaker, vibrato/chorus, percussion, recall presets on the fly, and change the volume and overdrive. Playing the B4 is more dynamic and authentic than ever before.

Drawbars

Each of the B4’s drawbar groups can be accessed fast using the switches for Upper, Lower, and Bass. LED lights indicate the current position of the buttons, letting you switch quickly between the different groups when playing live.

B4D is connected to the computer via MIDI. When you alter settings on the B4D or directly in the software, the changes are immediately communicated between program and controller via MIDI. This guarantees a perfect match between hardware and software. On the back of the B4D there you'll find MIDI in and out, plus additional connections for a sustain pedal, two foot switches, and other B4D units.
Individual and as bundle with the B4

B4D will be available soon individually or as an attractive bundle with the B4 organ. In combination with the B4D drawbar controller the B4 offers maximum playability and smoothest operation on stage, at home, or in the studio.
