Voice
single oscillator structure with 3 presets with (quite) no possible edit:

All presets sound very similar but the attack which is more sharped with the guitar, while tuba is more square-shapped sound with overtones.
Functions
the left knobs is the main volume while the right one is a kind of envelope decay: from shorter to longer for more sustain.

Review
OK: vintage /suitcase design
NOT : sound / edit
" The HB3 is not a bass Rhodes: it look likes, but it just features a very simple circuit. Don't get fooled by cool suitcase design and high price. Maybeat very fair price - or get plugin instead if you crave for that sound "
