I used to have it a few years ago, now I cant find the disk.
It sounds EXCELLENT but of course it has to be hooked up to your computer through MIDI.  So I dont see how it would be practical in church or on the road.  But excellent for at home, or a studio where you dont have room for the real thing.

If you have a quality laptop and a good controller that would be easy to travel will.

I definitely use it all the time with my laptop with whatever keyboard I have since I have a usb midi cord. I been using the B4 programs for about 4 years now and I love it. Most of the churches here don't have organs so this comes in handy.  Actually my laptop is a sound module. I have right now B4 II, FM7, Hypersonic, Korg Trilogy, and my fav, Sampletank.

I've used both versions 1 and 2 and I guess I'll be the first to say, I wasn't very impressed...sort of. Chorale sounds good, and stopped rotors sounds realyl good to, but tremolo sounds awful IMHO. It's too wobly/pitchy and doesn't blend in very well in my experience. I don't like software based synths/sound modules. If it works for any of you, that's great, I just prefer having actual keyboards or sound modules.
