Pricing and Availability
CollaB3 is available now as a free download. A valid email address is required.
There should be an example of it roaring a bit; these clips are nice & lush, but also too polite! It sounds like a very good model overall, so I’ll bet it can. Its quite a lot for free. I checked out their site and I’m taken with their crisp Melodica instrument for a mere $20. They offer some good alternatives.
I have a Casio keyboard with General MIDI and an Acer laptop running Windows 10. Would I be able to get the CollaB3 running?
yep! it’s a standalone app as well so you can just run it
will this CollaB3 work with Digital Performer. I downloaded it but cannot see it in my plug ins
Very good sound from this CollaB3. Great job creating it!! I would like to get a bit more percussion out of the keystrokes however. When playing with a band full of instruments, it gets a little lost. Is there a way to increase the percussion to make the keys strokes a bit more defined?
Installed Collab3 into 32 and 64 bit folders in cakewalk.. doesn’t see it? Checked vst paths.. nothing?
The CollaB3 is simple and beautiful. Does anyone make a standalone rock horn section emulator that doesn’t cost a small fortune?
