HX3 expander may be remote-controlled via given MIDI CC set, but some settings are available
via menu system only. If a valid MIDI CC command is received (despite expression/volume
changes) for current MIDI CC set, MenuPanel will briefly show the changed parameter.
Connect MIDI out of your MIDI controller or master keyboard to HX3 MIDI input. HX3 does not
introduce any audio latency, so delays are only due to MIDI transmission.
Since MIDI is a one-way interface, HX3 cannot determine the setting of any MIDI controller value
until you touch/use it once. As default, all HX3 controllers are OFF. Do not use any controller
button or drawbar unless HX3 is ready to accept its data; it is a good idea to power up HX3 first
and later your MIDI master keyboard or master controller.
A valid MIDI CC received will override HX3's own analog controllers and switches until they are
touched again. If you use your HX3-attached swell pedal, any MIDI expression message will be
overwritten. Otherwise, by not using the directly attached swell pedal, MIDI expression messages
are accepted.
Note: Some MIDI controllers as well as organ keyboards (like Hammond® XK and SK series)
allow 2nd and 3rd harmonic percussion ON at same time. HX3 implementation regards "2nd ON"
as "Percussion ON" tab in this case.

How do I store drawbar settings as preset?
Once you have adjusted the drawbars just keep the rotary knob pressed until
“Saved to Preset
#XX” appears on the display. (“XX” representing the current preset number). Drawbar settings are
stored as voice along with the overall preset carrying the same number.
Voices may be selected individually by their numbers. Alter the voice number to recall other
drawbar settings for the manual the voice is assigned to, while all other settings will remain
unchanged as stored in the preset. If you recall the preset the voice will regain its former settings.
How do I copy a stored voice to another preset?
In the menu, select the voice to be copied. Keep the rotary knob pressed until
“Save Voice to
Preset
#XX” appears on the display. (“XX” representing the target preset number). Turn the rotary
knob to select the target preset number to desire. Press the rotary knob until
“Saved to Preset
#XX” appears on the display.
