1.1 Volume Control
Output level
of all output channels is controlled by
Master Volume
rotary knob or MIDI CC #7
“Volume”, whichever occurs last.
Organ's
swell pedal
position is controlled by an expression pedal or MIDI CC #11
“Expression”,
whichever occurs last. The loudness curve is similar to the swell pedal of a classic tonewheel
organ, so expression volume will not reach zero. We recommend connecting an expression pedal
Yamaha FC-7
or similar (1/4" jack, 10k to 47k total resistance) directly to the HX3 module.
MIDI CC #11 and #7 may be altered via menu to any valid MIDI CC Number.
2. Panel Buttons
HX3 drawbar expander has two sets of drawbars for upper and lower manual as well as pedal and
pedal sustain drawbars, and a set of 16 buttons. LED-illuminated buttons control main organ
functions as found on a real B3:
Perc ON
toggles percussion on/off. When on, drawbar
1’ is cancelled (see
No DB1 @Perc
parameter below to change cancelling behaviour)
Perc SOFT
toggles normal/soft percussion. Drawbar volume is muted in
“normal” position
Perc FAST
toggles slow/fast percussion decay
Perc 3RD
toggles 2
nd
and 3
rd
percussion harmonic
Similar to Hammond® console organs, drawbar volume is muted in
“normal” position to
emphasize percussion effect. Muting level in
“normal” position may be changed by menu.
VIBRATO UPPER
toggles vibrato on upper manual on/off
VIBRATO LOWER
toggles vibrato on lower manual on/off
Rotary buttons control both internal rotary simulation as well as a Leslie® speaker connected to
11-pin socket simultaneously. Rotary simulation may be controlled by footswitch or panel buttons
alternatively. A flashing LED indicates rotary speed.
ROTARY RUN
toggles rotary motors on/off
ROTARY SPEED
toggles slow/fast rotary speed
Six vibrato/chorus variations are set by 4 buttons:
VIBRATO V1
sets vibrato/chorus depth 1 (shallow)
VIBRATO V2
sets vibrato/chorus depth 2 (medium)
VIBRATO V3
sets vibrato/chorus depth 3 (deep)
VIBRATO CHORUS
toggles between vibrato and chorus mode. Vibrato setting does not
have any effect if VIBRATO UPPER and VIBRATO LOWER are both off.
REVERB I
and
REVERB II
select 3 different reverb settings and reverb off. Press I and II
simultaneously to select reverb III.
CONFIG A/B
selects the pedal signal insert point before or after the Preamp simulation. In
many cases it is desirable to limit the overdrive effect to the manuals.
CONFIG SPLIT
sets keyboard split mode on or off. See
3.2.1 Split Configuration
for
details.
