KEYBOARDPARTNER HX3 - HX3.5 Mainboard Description; Key Features

4 HX3.5 Mainboard
HX3.5 Mainboard
HX3.5 is a tonewheel emulator with all the features of a classic electromagnetic organ. It is
controllable via MIDI with selectable CC sets for various keyboards. The CC sets are editable.
Alternatively, the module can be controlled via Fatar or other keyboards as well as drawbars,
switches and buttons. HX3.5 offers unlimited polyphony, 100 presets, 3 x 15 drawbar presets and
CaM rotor simulation with rotary speaker, scanner vibrato and amp 122. General MIDI sounds
such as piano and strings are also available.
As an option (extended license required), the HX3 RealOrgan engine is capable of emulating all
electromagnetic organs including the famous H100, combo organs, concert organs of the 70s and
80s like Böhm Orchester and Wersi Helios. This implies up to 15 harmonics, up to 12 drawbars
per manual with individual mixtures, including phasing rotor (WersiVoice). An ADSR envelope is
available on all drawbars, also H100 percussion and "Harp Sustain". Various tone generator
waveforms are selectable, for "cheesy" combo organs as well as fully fledged concert organs.
