HX3.5 Mainboard 19
Gating Mode
The HX3.5 default setting (B3 mode
B3/9 Drb
) implies mechanical key contacts, 2
2/3’ or 4’
percussion, and 9 drawbars per manual. The following options require the extendend license.
Select
H100/12 Drb
for the H100 organ model including 3 additional mixtures. This activates the
respective drawbars. B3 percussion is de-activated in this mode, instead the
H-Perc
16‘ … H-Perc
Mixt3
in submenu Voice Upper settings are effective if
Perc ON
is selected. By means of this
mask you may assign percussion individually to each available harmonic. Percussion always
sounds without vibrato and phasing rotor. This mode may be combined with all generator models.
Select
EnvelopeGen
(EG)
to substitute
“mechanical” keying, which generates a key click, by “soft”
electronic keying. This is the way to model the entirely electronic organs of the 80s. In this mode
three additional mixtures are available; the respective drawbars are active. An ADSR envelope is
applied to the harmonics selected by means of the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna Mixt3
settings in
submenu Voice Upper.
EG +PercDrb
works like
EnvelopeGen (EG)
, but instead of the ADSR envelope a percussion
envelope is active on the harmonics selected by the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna Mixt3
settings in
submenu Voice Upper. The percussion effect amount can be adjusted with the Envelope
Generator Drawbars (
EGenvDB
16‘ …Mixt3)
.
EG +TimeDrb
as well works like
EnvelopeGen (EG)
, but in this mode the Envelope Generator
Drawbars (
EGenvDB
16‘ …Mixt3)
affect the decay and release times of the ADSR envelope on
harmonics selected by the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna Mixt3
settings in submenu Voice Upper. Thus
you can create interesting transient and decay effects similar to a Fourier synthesizer by using
time settings depending on the respective harmonics.
Gen&Vib Mode
The menu item
Gen&Vib Mode
gives you a choice of preselections of the sound generator type
and the vibrato type. This is independent of the Gating Mode. The choice is:
B3 Std 91
(91 tones sound generator)
B3 Old 91
(as above, but more leakage, stronger key click)
M3/M100 79
(no foldback for higher tones)
H100 96
(96 tones sound generator)
TR Sine 96
(phase stable frequency dividing generator like Wersi/Böhm)
TR Square 96
(as above, more harmonics)
LC Gen 91
(free running single sine tone generator, 91 tones, not phase-locked)
Cheesy 84
(84 tones generator, phase-locked frequency divider,
„cheesy sound“, rich
harmonics
Each setting includes its own vibrato parameters, which can be customized in the Vibrato Setup
submenu.
