4 HX3 Drawbar Expander
HX3 Drawbar Expander
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. Alternatively, it may be
controlled directly by Fatar or other keybeds as well as drawbars, switches and buttons. HX3
provides unlimited polyphony, 100 presets, parameters tweakable by menus. In addition, General
MIDI sounds like piano and strings are 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.
