The Best IMO
My opinion, these are the best 1176 emulations. They have replaced my go to which was the CLA 76 or the purple 77 which is also very good, but not quite as good as the UA....

Good,but the piano sucks
Overall a nice group of plug ins, however the tonality of the piano is far from acceptable.

Creamy, Rich and Lucious!
After hearing Dr. Mix demoing a MiniMoog, I knew I needed that sound, but I also knew that I wasn't going to be purchasing a Model D. I looked up reviews of various VSTs and even the Behringer Model D and I had settled on something. But, then UAD offered their VST at a price I couldn't ignore and I'm glad I purchased it. I'm not going to claim that it sounds exactly like a MiniMoog. I've only ever watched demos on YouTube, but I found that rich creamy bass sound that I heard on Dr. Mix's MiniMoog, And have already released a song on YouTube with it!

Worst Piano Sound I've Ever Heard
I love all my UA plugins so I was expecting great sounds from this piano. Was disappointed to say the least. It was a complete waste of money. I hope in future updates UA will make this thing sound as good as I was hoping for.

Why does it need an internet connection to work?!
I purchased this one to use as my go-to vocal compressor on various projects. I didn't knew that it requires internet connection, so i can't use it when i'm outside or on a plane. It's a shame that there's no option to transfer the license to my laptop directly. An AU unit also launches too long, because it connects to the internet every time.
And that would only be half the problem. After all, my Ableton Live won't even launch a project with these plugins unless I'm connected to the internet. So my go-to compressor paralyzes my whole projects, and if my internet connection is interrupted, the plugin stops and displays the message "DAW restart required", even if the connection is restored. It's a shame.
I don't rate it as 1 star, because they sound great, actually. But for me, as for traveling producer, it's impossible to use it all the time.C. Morales Prats

Great sounding instrument.

The Ultimate Hammond B3!
I’ve been using this Waterfall Hammond B3 plug-in on all types of tracks… and it’s just so great, how you can use the waterfall speaker effect, or not, and otherwise have a traditional B3 sound… and really, just about any type of B3 style that you may want. There may be other B3 Organ emulations that can do more… I wouldn’t know, because I’ve been so satisfied with this one…while the quality and range of this emulation is absolutely incredible. The sound quality, like all UAD plugins, is absolutely superb. Highly recommended, say the very least! Not only that, but on some of the songs that I’ve used it on… almost every time people have commented on the organ sound. No joke. It’s that well done, and authentic, that it just jumps out, and listeners remark about it, over and over again. That’s really saying something. I don’t know if I’ve ever had that happen with any other plug-in or emulation.
