HX3 Firmware Changelog

Firmware #5.8x is a major update which incorporates important changes to comply with HX3.6 parameters and functions. #5.8xx boasts editable organ and speaker models as present in new HX3.6 devices, selectable drawbar destinations for single drawbar set mode and Inc/Dec buttons for various functions. As HX3.6 uses a different update procedure, automatic updates by HX3.5 Manager are no longer available. Important: Only update Files/Parts older than items in table below. Items in brackets will not need an update if currently installed version is the same.

For update procedure, please see the HX3.5 Firmware 5.8 Migration Guide (english) resp. HX3.5 Firmware 5.8 Migration Guide (deutsch).

Note: Various parameter values changed in EEPROM (Defaults). We recommend updating the EEPROM when old firmware version was below #5.730. In either case, check System Init and Remap values thoroughly.

30.10.2023 Firmware #5.834, HX3 Manager #6.10, FPGA #01112023, Organ/Speaker Models

Note: When playing notes, a few boards produce a "grainy" noise sometimes after switching on. This was caused by timing issues from FPGA to DAC and DSP, and we solved it by improved I2S interfacing within FPGA structure.

13.10.2023 Firmware #5.830, HX3 Manager #6.09, Organ/Speaker Models

03.10.2023 Firmware #5.811

26.09.2023 Firmware #5.808, HX3 Manager #6.07, Organ/Speaker Models

Note: A hardware button assigned to value 90 = Single DB set U/L/P Toggle in Switch Remap will toggle a single drawbar set destination from Upper (LED off) to Lower (LED on) to Pedal (LED flashing) to Upper etc. However, DB destination may be also set by use of 3 separate buttons (Switch Remap values 91..93). If no pedal is present, you may use just the 92 = Lower button as this one may be toggled ON/OFF (Upper manual is assigned when OFF).

Pressing INC and DEC buttons at the same time will reset their value (Preset, Voice, Model or Transpose) to 0.

An analog control (drawbar, pot) assigned in Analog Remap to values 200..211, "MIDI CC Send #0..#11" will send MIDI control change only and will perform no other function. The channel and CC# has to be defined in CC Set Edtor, group MIDI CC Send Function. Assigned channel numbers are fixed in this case and will not move with HX3 MIDI channel.

25.10.2022 Firmware #5.735

Note: I should never trust frequency responses I did not record for myself! AO28 frequency response taken from a recent publication was wrong. I tried it in #30082022, but result was a rather thin lower midrange; apparently new data did not take treble loss of matching transformer and cabling into account. Stepped back to old response I made up in 2014, but with less "stepping" noise. Please discard intermediate firmware #5.732 and FPGA #14102022, these had insufficient AO28 gain. Do not use firmware #5.733 either which had a stack overflow bug solved in #5.734.

There was a bug in Switch Remap routine in firmware #5.730 that prevented assignment of mode 108 to 110 (binary AddModes for combined upper/lower/pedal Voices as suggested by our valued customer Paul Harrison). Fixing this, I also removed a pointless restriction: Preset or Voice button assignments may overlap to different Preset16 or Extend16 groups now, so you may assign more than 16 overall Preset buttons in remap mode 101. However, Preset/Voice buttons for each manual/pedal must still be in consecutive order.

Note: Tube amp simulation was revised, now with 16x oversampling and biquad filters to prevent digital intermodulation on higher notes. Tube output curves may be adjusted for both 6550 PA tubes separately (see Rotary Control parameter section). Lower values: Older/weak tubes with early, soft distortion. Higher values: Newer tubes, more output power and later, somewhat harder distortion. Asymmetric setting will increase 2nd harmonics in distortion. You may have to increase #1088 Trim cap swell and potentially Upper/Lower/Pedal Level to obtain same gain as on older firmwares.

External foot switches may be either button (momentary, new!) or switch (latching) type according to System Inits #1502 as many customers do have momentary foot switches available. FAST switch/button will also set RUN ON, so unmodified halfmoon switches may be used instead of foot switch (set Bit 1 of #1502 to ON).

We added some "binary AddModes" in Switch Remap for Drawbar Voices in addition to #5.719: Up to 4 consecutive buttons may be assigned also to upper+lower (value 108), upper+lower+pedal (109) and lower+pedal (110) voices to control voices of multiple keybeds simultaneously. See changelog of firmware #5.719 for details on AddMode.

29.06.2022 HX3.5 Manager #5.720, Firmware #5.720, Fatar

Scan Driver #51.42

Note: Changed behaviour of transpose functions on organs with FATAR keybeds: Separate MIDI and Key Transpose was inconvenient, also did not work for transpose up/down buttons on MIDI IN. Instead a general Transpose is available now. Old Key Transpose menu (renamed to TransposeOffs) will now affect MIDI OUT for own keybed only, not for generator. It acts as an offset to general Transpose now for special purposes.

22.06.2022 Firmware #5.719

Note: Due to request, a "binary added" voice select mode was added to obtain 15 Voice presets from 4 voice preset buttons. This works like Common Presets, but for upper/lower/pedal drawbar voices. Example: To obtain 15 Upper Voices instead of Common Presets on button inputs #40 to #43, set parameters 5140 to 5143 to 105 (Upper Voices AddMode). Buttons may be "added" for any combination from 0 (all buttons off) to 15 (all buttons on) by pressing 1 to 4 buttons simultaneously.

If you experience digital overflow noise in highest octave on rotary simulation, reduce sim input volume (Rotary Setup #2104) to 150. Using older taperings, it may be necessary to reduce manual volumes (Volume Pots parameters) also.

11.04.2022 HX3.5 Manager #5.716, FPGA #10042022

02.03.2022 Firmware #5.716, FPGA #02032022

Note: HX3.5 tube amp simulation got a new "output transformer" circuit which cuts some "crisp" distortion when overdriven. It also got a post gain stage for better volume correction which does not affect pedal or GM2 synth volume. Some customers requested a constant pedal bass level (not affected by swell pedal) on separate Extension Board output. This will be achieved by setting "Various Configugations" bit #6 in System Inits.

08.02.2022 HX3.5 Manager #5.715, Firmware #5.715

19.01.2022 HX3.5 Manager #5.713, Firmware #5.713

Note: New Value Mode #8 will multiply incoming CC value by "max." and divide the result by "min.". This is useful to extrapolate limited range CC values to a range needed by a particular HX3.5 parameter. Example: to multiply incoming values by 1.5, set "max." to 3 and "min." to 2 (or "max." to 15 and "min." to 10) , to multiply by 30 set "max." to 30 and "min." to 1. Note that integer values between 0 and 127 are valid for "min." and "max." only.

10.01.2022 HX3.5 Manager #5.712, Fatar Scan Driver #51.41

Note: In non-early (normal) contact mode of FATAR scan driver, note will stop on release of second contact now (no hysteresis). Old algorithm lead to noticeable key height hysteresis between "key on" and "key off".

Previous Fatar scan drivers had a small bug: A "bouncy" key release (like on glissando) would have left the state machine in a meta state, so pressing the same key again would send minimal MIDI key velocity (leading to a "lost" note) or no note on splitted bass.

30.12.2021 Firmware #5.712, #FPGA 29122021, HX3.5 Manager #5.711, Scan Driver #5x.40

Note: CC sets have been modified to support up to 32 NRPN MIDI codes now. To use the CC Set Editor, update firmware first; otherwise, editor will freeze on CC set transmissions due to different length of CC set blocks.

Swell loudness curve now yields more bass in minimal swell position and has improved dynamic range. You may have to re-adjust your equalizer settings.

15.12.2021 Firmware #5.710, HX3.5 Manager #5.710

Note: This was a really nasty bug. Sometimes happened anywhere in CC set table, sometimes not. Turned out I misinterpreted CC set name coded in raw data (also stored in cc set loaded to board) as MIDI table data in CC Set Editor. So when the name was "4 Nord C1/C2", it set upper drawbar #1002 CC data to zero inadvertedly. With other names, it happened in a different row - or not at all. Dang!

30.11.2021 Firmware #5.707, HX3.5 Manager #5.707

18.11.2021 Firmware #5.706, HX3.5 Manager #5.706

When using "inverted keys" voice presets, we recommend setting corresponding inputs in Input Mode #5200 ff. as Switch (ON), regardless of latching or non-latching preset keys. With switch (ON) assigned, voices and preset keys will act immediately on press, while assigned as button the voices and presets will be recalled on key/button release (so a long "save" press may be detected on any voice/preset).

Pressing the CANCEL key briefly will mute the drawbars and percusssion on it's manual, but it does not change the voice/preset number. Last active preset/voice LED will blink now to show it is invalid, while the CANCEL LED is lit (if present). You may set up a new voice by adjusting the drawbars now or select any voice on this manual to end CANCEL.

To save a voice/preset (even the active one which has been altered), press and hold the CANCEL key for at least two seconds until all panel LEDs blink. It will save the sound to last active preset/voice. In this case, CANCEL muting will not occur, and organ returns to last preset/voice used.

Note: HX3.5 Editor #5.705 may also be used with older firmwares by just replacing ''HX35_Manager.exe'' in your current installation.

15.11.2021 Firmware #5.704

11.11.2021 Firmware #5.702, HX3.5 Manager #5.702

07.11.2021 Firmware #5.700, HX3.5 Manager #5.700

Note: Code for digital button/switch inputs has been completely re-written for versatility and speed. Any digital input pin/bit on any Panel16, Preset16 or Extend16 (even those jumpered as "Preset only" boards with address set to $60 and $61) may be a switch or button (with indicator LED) now, assignable to any tab function, also any preset/voice select available. Therefore, digital input numbers have been renamed to make space for additional assigns.

There is one restriction, though: When assigned to Voices or Common Presets by Switch Remap values 100 to 104, these particular buttons must be in consecutive ascending order on digital inputs on (any) Preset16 or Extend16 within one input group/panel (i.e. on one Preset16/Extend16). Example: You may assign 5 Voices (drawbar presets) on digital inputs #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 (this is bottom row of buttons in first panel group 0, starting with leftmost button, Preset16/Extend16 jumper set to address $60), but not to digital inputs #0, #1, #8, #9, #20 (not in consecutive order, not in same group). All voice/preset buttons of one category (Presets/Upper/Lower/Pedal voices) must be located on one input group resp. one Panel16/Preset16/Extend16. It may be nessecary to relocate gray button caps (indicating "Live" voice) to top left corner of Preset16 as this is button 0.

This change makes some params in System Inits obsolete as Button Masks #1499 and 1500 have been replaced by new Input Modes. Firmware will try to copy/restore new Input Modes from old System Inits once after update has finished - but anyway, please check Switch Remap and Input Mode parameters of your digital button/switch inputs for correct values.

See updated Wiki page http://wiki.keyboardpartner.de/index.php?title=HX3.5_Installationsanleitung#Digitale_Eing.C3.A4nge for details.

"Middle detent" correction/shift for Equalizer and Percussion Volume potentiometers has been changed slightly as it slowed down ADC speed and mid shift did not work on MIDI CCs. Default Mid position is 64 now, not 128. Four additional parameters from #1124 to #1127 still adjust the four pots middle position. When pots are assigned by Analog Remap, parameters #1085, #1112, #1115 and #1118 now represent actual potentiometer values, not corrected values. Simply set Equalizer/PercVol potentiometer to middle detent and adjust #1124 to #1127 to personal taste for "mid" position.

06.10.2021 Firmware #5.659, HX3.5 Manager #5.710

Note: Even if you won't do an update, please use the new HX3.5 Manager due to bugfixes.

Alternate vibrato setups may be used instead of factory setup. To try out, click "Execute INI" in Updater and select vib setup file in "scripts" folder. To return to factory setup, use vib_factory.ini.

"Middle detent" function for Equalizer pot mid positions has been restricted to 3 "Gain Control" values. To set middle position value in Editor, set Equalizer Gain Control pots to middle position and adjust parameters #1112, #1115 and #1118 to personal taste. When done, click "Store Group Values". This also applies to #1085 Perc/Dry Volume pot if assigned.

01.09.2021 Firmware #5.658

Vibrato Buttons mode is disabled now when Panel16 is in Common Preset mode (#1504 = 2), even if some buttons are assigned to Vibrato Buttons (Switch remap on 60..63).

To enable Vibrato Buttons, set #1504 to 0, #1497 to 1 or 2 and assign Vibrato Buttons with "Switch Remap". To enable Common Preset Buttons an Panel16, set #1504 to 2. In this case, DO NOT assign any "Switch Remap" input to V/C Buttons (60..63).

01.09.2021 Firmware #5.657

26.08.2021 Firmware #5.656

09.07.2021 Scan Drivers #51.38 (Fatar)

01.07.2021 Firmware #5.654, FPGA #09062021, Scan Drivers #5x.37 (Fatar/MIDI)

Note: New keyboard split mode added. Mode 5 "Add Pedal to Lower" will add pedal notes to lower manual up to split point. To engage, hold two adjacent keys on lower manual and set Split to ON. To return to normal Pedal to Lower split, only hold one key while setting Split to ON as on previous versions.

12.06.2021 Firmware #5.653, FPGA #09062021

Note: In MIDI CC Set Editor, "indirect" drawbars (#1700 and up, section "Upper/Lower Indirect Drawbars") may be assigned instead of regular drawbars (#1000 and up) for upper and lower manuals for control keyboards (like Nord C2D) with two drawbar sets, each sent on different CCs. Indirect drawbar CCs will be accepted and stored, but only be forwarded to HX3.5 drawbars when particular A/B switch (#1690 and up, section "Switch Indirect Drawbars") is activated. Percussion is disabled on set B. See MIDI Set #4 (Nord C1/C2) for example.

I'm not quite sure if mode 5 (mid threshold) on #1692 and #1695 is right, it might be 6 (inverted threshold) as well when DB sets are swapped. Pleasy try out if owning a Nord C2.

27.05.2021 Manager/Firmware #5.651

17.05.2021 Manager/Firmware/EEPROM #5.650, FPGA #16052021, Scan Drivers #5x.36

Note: Due to some requests, firmware #5.650 and FPGA #16052021 now support "Pedal on Lower Vibrato" in B3 gating mode (original behaviour of classic console organs). To obtain vibrato on pedals when lower vibrato switched on, set bit 4 of Various Configurations #1501 in System Inits to ON (box checked, value 16+). "Pedal on Lower Vibrato" is not available in H100 and EG/ADSR gating modes.

As the Pedal Factors and Scanner Vibrato Setup changed (as well as some other params stored in updated EEPROM file), we do not recommend using an old backup INI file to restore your settings unless you remove these particular parameter assignments from your INI file using a text editor (notepad.exe or similar): #1320..#1335, #2200..#2263, #3000..#3311.

A new vibrato parameter set was incorporated on May 18th, 2021 in EPROM which improves V1..V3. To make it effective on firmwares downloaded before this date, execute file "alternate_vib_1_1320_2337.ini" contained in "user" directory (to install: HX3.5 Updater menu File -> Execute INI file). Make sure to save your current Editor table (or vibrato groups) as a backup in case it won't fit your taste.

I moved former bit 3 (Pedal Bypass behaviour) to bit 4 in Various Configurations #1501:

If you find key click of Scan Drivers #5x.36 too aggressive, feel free to re-install older Scan Driver #5x.35 with softer click.

16.05.2021 Firmware #5.641, WaveSets, FPGA #14052021

07.05.2021 Firmware #5.640

05.05.2021 Firmware #5.639, FPGA #06052021

03.05.2021 Firmware #5.639, FPGA #04052021, Scan Drivers #5x.35

Note: Just a few improvements to version from April 23rd due to various requests. Changed pedal routing:

Bugfix in rotary mixer may cause horn/rotor balance slightly off optimum with your current parameters. We found Rotary Setup values of #2104=145, #2105=180 and #2106=235 to be OK. Higher values of #2104 may work when you won't play Jon Lord overdrive levels; this yields a better signal/noise ratio.

23.04.2021 Firmware #5.638, Manager #5.638, Scan Driver #51.34 (FatarScan2)

Note: Due to space restrictions in System Inits parameter group, we had to move some system on/off params into Various Configuration Bits #1501: Latching Preset Keys, Wrap Menus, Pots are audio taper as well as new Use Preset Btns as Upper Voice and Use Preset Btns as Lower Voice selectors.

When Use Preset Btns as Upper Voice bit or Use Preset Btns as Lower Voice bit is checked, the 4 preset buttons on Panel16 (if configured as preset buttons) will select Upper and/or Lower Drawbar Voices instead of Common Presets. This may be useful for organs without Preset16, Extend16 or Preset12-2 board if the customer demands a "percussion off on drawbar presets" behaviour.

New System Inits parameter #1509 is used by the finalizing process after update. If zero, it should be set to a value representing your instrument, as it determines which INI file will be run automatically on future updates.

Important: Using a custom made organ, please review new System Inits parameters for your demand after update to #5.638 firmware.

17.03.2021 Firmware #5.635, Manager #5.636

Note: All Equalizer parameters and Perc/Dry Volume parameter now designate middle detent of assigned potentiometer. Example: If Equ Mid Gain parameter #1115 is set to 80, middle detent of potentiometer will deliver a value of 80, not 64 as on other analog inputs.

If "motorboating" vibrato appears, run vib_setup.ini in "scripts" directory with HX3.5 Updater. Also replace parameters 1320..1335 and 2200..2327 in your own INI backup file.

18.02.2021 Firmware #5.635, Manager #5.633, Scan #54.33 (OrganScan61)

Note: Vibrato V1..C3 may be selected by menu, rotary knob connected to PL24 or three resp. four buttons on Panel16 or external panels. Set parameter #1364 according to your installation. Three button toggle mode (#1364 = 1) was introduced for XB5 and other conversions where only two "adding" buttons (V I, V II) are present for V1..V3 select. For HX3.5 Drawbar expander and others with three radio type buttons (plus one C/V button), set #1364 = 2. In three or four button vibrato select mode, buttons may be assigned to any digital input; they are no longer restricted to lower left four buttons on first Panel16. To assign "adding toggle" or radio buttons to vibrato, set input in Switch Remap section to 60..63.

10.02.2021 Firmware #5.633, EEPROM #5.633, Manager #5.633, FPGA #30012021

Note: A scan driver for old OrganScan61 scan boards has been added to "updates" folder. This scan driver ist not automatically updated; you have to install it manually by Uptade/Finalize window, menu "Update via FTDI or USB cable -> Scan Driver". It will show up in message field as "ScanCore ID: 54.32 [unknown]".

15.01.2021 Scan #5X.33, DSP 21.23 (MAG organs)

13.01.2021 Firmware #5.630, EEPROM #5.630, Editor #5.630, FPGA #11012021, DSP #X1.23, Scan #5X.32

Major update with various bugfixes and improvements. EEPROM must be updated on manual installation. Some adjustments for custom installations may be necessary.

New Piano Sounds: DSP soundbank file "HX35_Pianos_0x8050.dfu" in ZIP contains 10 new piano sounds (Grand & E-Piano, some with tremolo) as a courtesy from KeyboardPartner UG which replace GM standard sounds 0..10 (#7 "Clavi" omitted). Requires DSP firmware #X1.23 to work. To upload soundbank, proceed as follows:

Mac Users: Please see updated HX3.5 Editor user manual for DSP updates.

Note: New advanced "DBX" drawbar sets and potentiometer modules will be available in January 2021. Each drawbar pot may be assigned freely to any analog function, also to act as secondary drawbar set per manual. With new DBX6/DBX9/DBX12/DBX16 drawbars and PTX4 potentiometer modules, HX3.5 features a total of 88 analog inputs (24 onboard, 64 by drawbar modules). Older DB12/DB9/DB9-MPX drawbar modules may be mixed with new DBX modules. They are still available, but not recommended for new designs.

Important for custom organ installations: For compatibility with existing DB9-MPX modules, set "System Inits" parameter #1503 ADC Configuration to "2 - DB9(-MPX)/DB11/DB12"). Set "Analog Remap" parameter #5024 to 255 (End of Table) to prevent "floating" inputs, unless DBX modules are attached to PL20 DRAWB_MPX connector. Set #1503 to "3 - DBX6/DBX9/DBX16" when using new DBX drawbar modules.

Troubleshooting

If anything went wrong, it may help to re-install the update parts manually with HX3.5 Edtor's Update/Finalize window, menu "Update -> Update via USB or FTDI cable".

Update manually all parts that differ in version number or if scan driver type (Fatar, MIDI or Scan61) is not correct. To prevent corrupted EEPROM (non- volatile configuration data), always update EEPROM after a crashed update.

On custom made organs (non-keyboardpartner products like DIY, Uhl or MAG) a custumized INI file may be run within automatic update. We supply INI files for our MIDI/Drawbar Expanders as well as standard Fatar-equipped organs with 2 or 4 drawbar sets, MAG and Uhl organs, but as we cannot determine your particular custom organ configuration, some manual adjustments may be necessary. If in doubt, do NOT run any config script, check parameters manually instead.

Pro tip: You can create, enhance or edit the config INI by yourself (give it a special name) with any pure text editor (notepad etc.) if you want custom settings set automatically (ie. your personal percussion times, vibrato settings, button/analog remaps, system configuration etc.).

24.11.2020 Firmware #5.622, Editor #5.622, FPGA #29112020

26.10.2020 Firmware #5.621, Editor #5.621

Note: Changes needed for some NI B4 drawbar controllers which use strange values for on/off functions like Perc normal/fast or Perc 2nd/3rd (i.e. NI/Böhm D4B). See http://wiki.keyboardpartner.de/index.php?title=HX3_MIDI-Implementierung#.230_NI_B4D for details.

08.10.2020 Firmware #5.620, FPGA #01102020, Scan #5x.29

Please Note:**** AO28 simulation adds some "coloured" noise to input and intermediate tube stages. S/N ratio is in the -78 dB range, so noise is somewhat lower than on a real B3, although noticeable. This is intended.

08.09.2020 Firmware #5.619, FPGA #310082020, Editor #5.618, Scan #5x.29

Please Note:**** Check for System Inits parameter #1498 bit 7 (leftmost) is set, otherwise drawbars will not be saved/recalled. Default value for #1498 is 135.

06.08.2020 Firmware #5.618, Scan Driver #5x.27

Please Note:**** Seems I forgot to copy the #5x.27 scan drivers to the ZIP on release date. Corrected today (August 27th, 2020), please download ZIP again. Also check for System Inits parameter #1498 bit 7 (leftmost) is set, otherwise drawbars will not be saved. Default value for #1498 is 135.

22.07.2020 Firmware #5.616, DSP #x1.21, FPGA #15072020, Scan Driver #5x.26

Note: NI B4 MIDI uses CC #66 for Percussion ON/OFF while this CC is reserved for Sostenuto pedal. As HX3.5 normally accepts Sustain/Sostenuto, we decided to disable Sustain and Sostenuto footswitch (either via extension board or MIDI) when CCs #64 or #66 are used in a particular CC set.

Special considerations apply to Hamichord CC set #7. This instrument sends complete drawbar preset data along with MIDI Program Change which may conflict with HX3.5 own Voice presets loaded in parallel (so-called race condition). Therefore, Hamichord CC set #7 will not load HX3.5 Voice presets. If your instrument also sends drawbar data on MIDI Program Change, use CC set #7 and edit to your needs with HX3.5 Editor's CC Set Editor window.

10.07.2020 Firmware #5.615

02.07.2020 Firmware #5.614, Editor #5.614, Updater #5.614

Update/Finalize panel in HX3.5 Editor offers same functionality as HX3.5 Updater through new All/Auto Update menu now. It will use the same scripting mechanism as in old Updater (runs update_script.ini file in scripts folder). Open help window in Update/Finalize panel for more information.

01.07.2020 Firmware #5.613, Editor #5.61, Updater #5.61

NI B4 and Hammond XK/SK MIDI CC sets will use hard-wired NRPN functions for compatibility which override CC set values displayed in CC Set Editor. However, these sets will always send MIDI data according to CC Set Editor values, not NRPN.

If you experience "invalid" CC sets after update, please re-run current HX3.5 update.

19.06.2020 Firmware #5.610, Editor #5.61

Note: Major changes in firmware, so extensive test pending. MIDI CC set tables for Nord C1/C2, VoceDrawbars, KeyB Duo/Mojo, Hamichord, HX3.5/KBP native, Custom 1 and Custom 2 are held in flash memory now and may be edited individually. For updates from SD card, files ccset0.dat to ccset10.dat must be present on card also. HX3.5 will now send MIDI CC data from all custom controls present in active CC set. Custom CC sets may be freely exchanged through .CSV text files.

22.05.2020 Firmware #5.608

Note: With newer Scan Driver #17 and up, keyboard split is no longer supported on MIDI IN (as a split should be done by masterkeyboard preferably), so SPLIT button on Drawbar Expander is obsolete (although it can be assigned to any other tab with HX3.5 Editor's Button Remap). For those who want a MIDI IN keyboard split, we added the older Scan Driver 53.16 in ZIP file which can be used alternatively. It must be installed separately with HX3.5 Editor Update/Finalize.

No changes in Sound Engine. Do not update from versions 5.53x and up if you won't use TouchOSC or WiFi interface. TouchOSC layouts may be uploaded to iOS/Android phone or tablet using the free TouchOSC Editor from Hexler. You may need a Lightning-to-USB-MIDI cable for Apple products. See https://youtu.be/1OVdODQVFTE for a HX3.5 Touchpad demo and HX3_Touch_Readme.pdf for an installation guide. Our TouchOSC layouts will automatically switch to native HX3.5/KBP MIDI CC set (temporarily).

Important: FW #5.602/3 might have a bad handling of Preset16 boards due to compiler bug. If you experience flashing Preset16 LEDs after startup, remove Preset16 board connection to HX3.5 temporarily until FW is updated to version #5.604.

No need to update FPGA, EEPROM (Voice settings will be retained) or Preset file if present firmware is at least #5.530.

Wir nehmen gern Ihre Vorschläge für optimale Vibrato-Einstellungen (V1..V3, Chorus ist weniger kritisch) entgegen; die vorliegenden Parameter (#1320..#1334) wurden lediglich nach Klang-Erinnerung eingestellt, da derzeit keine Vergleichs- B3 zur Verfügung steht.

Da sich die Vibrato-Parameter geändert haben, sollten Common Presets, die das Vibrato benutzen, überschrieben werden. Ein Initialisieren der Presets ist ansonsten nicht erforderlich.

Known Bug: Evt. erklingen GM-Instrumente unbeabsichtigt bei Ansteuerung über MIDI. Stellen Sie sicher, dass in den Presets die Pegel der GM-Instrumente auf "0" stehen, wenn nicht anders beabsichtigt.

Wir empfehlen, den DSP bis zur Fertigstellung der optimierten GM-Klänge mit Version 11.17 (HX35_5504-FW_1117_noGM.dfu) upzudaten, es stehen dann bei #2001..#2003 die erweiterten Hall-Programme zur Verfügung (z.B. 4 bei #2002, 6 bei #2003).

Änderungen gegenüber der Vorgängerversion sind rot markiert.iddle position. When pots are assigned by Analog Remap, parameters #1085, #1112, #1115 and #1118 now represent actual potentiometer values, not corrected values. Simply set Equalizer/PercVol potentiometer to middle detent and adjust #1124 to #1127 to personal taste for "mid" position.

06.10.2021 Firmware #5.659, HX3.5 Manager #5.710

Note: Even if you won't do an update, please use the new HX3.5 Manager due to bugfixes.

Alternate vibrato setups may be used instead of factory setup. To try out, click "Execute INI" in Updater and select vib setup file in "scripts" folder. To return to factory setup, use vib_factory.ini.

"Middle detent" function for Equalizer pot mid positions has been restricted to 3 "Gain Control" values. To set middle position value in Editor, set Equalizer Gain Control pots to middle position and adjust parameters #1112, #1115 and #1118 to personal taste. When done, click "Store Group Values". This also applies to #1085 Perc/Dry Volume pot if assigned.

01.09.2021 Firmware #5.658

Vibrato Buttons mode is disabled now when Panel16 is in Common Preset mode (#1504 = 2), even if some buttons are assigned to Vibrato Buttons (Switch remap on 60..63).

To enable Vibrato Buttons, set #1504 to 0, #1497 to 1 or 2 and assign Vibrato Buttons with "Switch Remap". To enable Common Preset Buttons an Panel16, set #1504 to 2. In this case, DO NOT assign any "Switch Remap" input to V/C Buttons (60..63).

01.07.2021 Firmware #5.654, FPGA #09062021, Scan Drivers #5x.37 (Fatar/MIDI)

Note: New keyboard split mode added. Mode 5 "Add Pedal to Lower" will add pedal notes to lower manual up to split point. To engage, hold two adjacent keys on lower manual and set Split to ON. To return to normal Pedal to Lower split, only hold one key while setting Split to ON as on previous versions.

12.06.2021 Firmware #5.653, FPGA #09062021

Note: In MIDI CC Set Editor, "indirect" drawbars (#1700 and up, section "Upper/Lower Indirect Drawbars") may be assigned instead of regular drawbars (#1000 and up) for upper and lower manuals for control keyboards (like Nord C2D) with two drawbar sets, each sent on different CCs. Indirect drawbar CCs will be accepted and stored, but only be forwarded to HX3.5 drawbars when particular A/B switch (#1690 and up, section "Switch Indirect Drawbars") is activated. Percussion is disabled on set B. See MIDI Set #4 (Nord C1/C2) for example.

I'm not quite sure if mode 5 (mid threshold) on #1692 and #1695 is right, it might be 6 (inverted threshold) as well when DB sets are swapped. Pleasy try out if owning a Nord C2.

27.05.2021 Manager/Firmware #5.651

17.05.2021 Manager/Firmware/EEPROM #5.650, FPGA #16052021, Scan Drivers #5x.36

Note: Due to some requests, firmware #5.650 and FPGA #16052021 now support "Pedal on Lower Vibrato" in B3 gating mode (original behaviour of classic console organs). To obtain vibrato on pedals when lower vibrato switched on, set bit 4 of Various Configurations #1501 in System Inits to ON (box checked, value 16+). "Pedal on Lower Vibrato" is not available in H100 and EG/ADSR gating modes.

As the Pedal Factors and Scanner Vibrato Setup changed (as well as some other params stored in updated EEPROM file), we do not recommend using an old backup INI file to restore your settings unless you remove these particular parameter assignments from your INI file using a text editor (notepad.exe or similar): #1320..#1335, #2200..#2263, #3000..#3311.

A new vibrato parameter set was incorporated on May 18th, 2021 in EPROM which improves V1..V3. To make it effective on firmwares downloaded before this date, execute file "alternate_vib_1_1320_2337.ini" contained in "user" directory (to install: HX3.5 Updater menu File -> Execute INI file). Make sure to save your current Editor table (or vibrato groups) as a backup in case it won't fit your taste.

I moved former bit 3 (Pedal Bypass behaviour) to bit 4 in Various Configurations #1501:

If you find key click of Scan Drivers #5x.36 too aggressive, feel free to re-install older Scan Driver #5x.35 with softer click.

03.05.2021 Firmware #5.639, FPGA #04052021, Scan Drivers #5x.35

Note: Just a few improvements to version from April 23rd due to various requests. Changed pedal routing:

Bugfix in rotary mixer may cause horn/rotor balance slightly off optimum with your current parameters. We found Rotary Setup values of #2104=145, #2105=180 and #2106=235 to be OK. Higher values of #2104 may work when you won't play Jon Lord overdrive levels; this yields a better signal/noise ratio.

23.04.2021 Firmware #5.638, Manager #5.638, Scan Driver #51.34 (FatarScan2)

Note: Due to space restrictions in System Inits parameter group, we had to move some system on/off params into Various Configuration Bits #1501: Latching Preset Keys, Wrap Menus, Pots are audio taper as well as new Use Preset Btns as Upper Voice and Use Preset Btns as Lower Voice selectors.

When Use Preset Btns as Upper Voice bit or Use Preset Btns as Lower Voice bit is checked, the 4 preset buttons on Panel16 (if configured as preset buttons) will select Upper and/or Lower Drawbar Voices instead of Common Presets. This may be useful for organs without Preset16, Extend16 or Preset12-2 board if the customer demands a "percussion off on drawbar presets" behaviour.

New System Inits parameter #1509 is used by the finalizing process after update. If zero, it should be set to a value representing your instrument, as it determines which INI file will be run automatically on future updates.

Important: Using a custom made organ, please review new System Inits parameters for your demand after update to #5.638 firmware.

17.03.2021 Firmware #5.635, Manager #5.636

Note: All Equalizer parameters and Perc/Dry Volume parameter now designate middle detent of assigned potentiometer. Example: If Equ Mid Gain parameter #1115 is set to 80, middle detent of potentiometer will deliver a value of 80, not 64 as on other analog inputs.

If "motorboating" vibrato appears, run vib_setup.ini in "scripts" directory with HX3.5 Updater. Also replace parameters 1320..1335 and 2200..2327 in your own INI backup file.

18.02.2021 Firmware #5.635, Manager #5.633, Scan #54.33 (OrganScan61)

Note: Vibrato V1..C3 may be selected by menu, rotary knob connected to PL24 or three resp. four buttons on Panel16 or external panels. Set parameter #1364 according to your installation. Three button toggle mode (#1364 = 1) was introduced for XB5 and other conversions where only two "adding" buttons (V I, V II) are present for V1..V3 select. For HX3.5 Drawbar expander and others with three radio type buttons (plus one C/V button), set #1364 = 2. In three or four button vibrato select mode, buttons may be assigned to any digital input; they are no longer restricted to lower left four buttons on first Panel16. To assign "adding toggle" or radio buttons to vibrato, set input in Switch Remap section to 60..63.

10.02.2021 Firmware #5.633, EEPROM #5.633, Manager #5.633, FPGA #30012021

Note: A scan driver for old OrganScan61 scan boards has been added to "updates" folder. This scan driver ist not automatically updated; you have to install it manually by Uptade/Finalize window, menu "Update via FTDI or USB cable -> Scan Driver". It will show up in message field as "ScanCore ID: 54.32 [unknown]".

15.01.2021 Scan #5X.33, DSP 21.23 (MAG organs)

13.01.2021 Firmware #5.630, EEPROM #5.630, Editor #5.630, FPGA #11012021, DSP #X1.23, Scan #5X.32

Major update with various bugfixes and improvements. EEPROM must be updated on manual installation. Some adjustments for custom installations may be necessary.

New Piano Sounds: DSP soundbank file "HX35_Pianos_0x8050.dfu" in ZIP contains 10 new piano sounds (Grand & E-Piano, some with tremolo) as a courtesy from KeyboardPartner UG which replace GM standard sounds 0..10 (#7 "Clavi" omitted). Requires DSP firmware #X1.23 to work. To upload soundbank, proceed as follows:

Mac Users: Please see updated HX3.5 Editor user manual for DSP updates.

Note: New advanced "DBX" drawbar sets and potentiometer modules will be available in January 2021. Each drawbar pot may be assigned freely to any analog function, also to act as secondary drawbar set per manual. With new DBX6/DBX9/DBX12/DBX16 drawbars and PTX4 potentiometer modules, HX3.5 features a total of 88 analog inputs (24 onboard, 64 by drawbar modules). Older DB12/DB9/DB9-MPX drawbar modules may be mixed with new DBX modules. They are still available, but not recommended for new designs.

Important for custom organ installations: For compatibility with existing DB9-MPX modules, set "System Inits" parameter #1503 ADC Configuration to "2 - DB9(-MPX)/DB11/DB12"). Set "Analog Remap" parameter #5024 to 255 (End of Table) to prevent "floating" inputs, unless DBX modules are attached to PL20 DRAWB_MPX connector. Set #1503 to "3 - DBX6/DBX9/DBX16" when using new DBX drawbar modules.

Troubleshooting

If anything went wrong, it may help to re-install the update parts manually with HX3.5 Edtor's Update/Finalize window, menu "Update -> Update via USB or FTDI cable".

Update manually all parts that differ in version number or if scan driver type (Fatar, MIDI or Scan61) is not correct. To prevent corrupted EEPROM (non- volatile configuration data), always update EEPROM after a crashed update.

On custom made organs (non-keyboardpartner products like DIY, Uhl or MAG) a custumized INI file may be run within automatic update. We supply INI files for our MIDI/Drawbar Expanders as well as standard Fatar-equipped organs with 2 or 4 drawbar sets, MAG and Uhl organs, but as we cannot determine your particular custom organ configuration, some manual adjustments may be necessary. If in doubt, do NOT run any config script, check parameters manually instead.

Pro tip: You can create, enhance or edit the config INI by yourself (give it a special name) with any pure text editor (notepad etc.) if you want custom settings set automatically (ie. your personal percussion times, vibrato settings, button/analog remaps, system configuration etc.).

26.10.2020 Firmware #5.621, Editor #5.621

Note: Changes needed for some NI B4 drawbar controllers which use strange values for on/off functions like Perc normal/fast or Perc 2nd/3rd (i.e. NI/Böhm D4B). See http://wiki.keyboardpartner.de/index.php?title=HX3_MIDI-Implementierung#.230_NI_B4D for details.

08.10.2020 Firmware #5.620, FPGA #01102020, Scan #5x.29

Please Note:**** AO28 simulation adds some "coloured" noise to input and intermediate tube stages. S/N ratio is in the -78 dB range, so noise is somewhat lower than on a real B3, although noticeable. This is intended.

08.09.2020 Firmware #5.619, FPGA #310082020, Editor #5.618, Scan #5x.29

Please Note:**** Check for System Inits parameter #1498 bit 7 (leftmost) is set, otherwise drawbars will not be saved/recalled. Default value for #1498 is 135.

06.08.2020 Firmware #5.618, Scan Driver #5x.27

Please Note:**** Seems I forgot to copy the #5x.27 scan drivers to the ZIP on release date. Corrected today (August 27th, 2020), please download ZIP again. Also check for System Inits parameter #1498 bit 7 (leftmost) is set, otherwise drawbars will not be saved. Default value for #1498 is 135.

22.07.2020 Firmware #5.616, DSP #x1.21, FPGA #15072020, Scan Driver #5x.26

Note: NI B4 MIDI uses CC #66 for Percussion ON/OFF while this CC is reserved for Sostenuto pedal. As HX3.5 normally accepts Sustain/Sostenuto, we decided to disable Sustain and Sostenuto footswitch (either via extension board or MIDI) when CCs #64 or #66 are used in a particular CC set.

Special considerations apply to Hamichord CC set #7. This instrument sends complete drawbar preset data along with MIDI Program Change which may conflict with HX3.5 own Voice presets loaded in parallel (so-called race condition). Therefore, Hamichord CC set #7 will not load HX3.5 Voice presets. If your instrument also sends drawbar data on MIDI Program Change, use CC set #7 and edit to your needs with HX3.5 Editor's CC Set Editor window.

10.07.2020 Firmware #5.615

02.07.2020 Firmware #5.614, Editor #5.614, Updater #5.614

Custom CC sets may be freely exchanged through .CSV text files.

22.05.2020 Firmware #5.608

Note: With newer Scan Driver #17 and up, keyboard split is no longer supported on MIDI IN (as a split should be done by masterkeyboard preferably), so SPLIT button on Drawbar Expander is obsolete (although it can be assigned to any other tab with HX3.5 Editor's Button Remap). For those who want a MIDI IN keyboard split, we added the older Scan Driver 53.16 in ZIP file which can be used alternatively. It must be installed separately with HX3.5 Editor Update/Finalize.

Da sich die Vibrato-Parameter geändert haben, sollten Common Presets, die das Vibrato benutzen, überschrieben werden. Ein Initialisieren der Presets ist ansonsten nicht erforderlich.

Known Bug: Evt. erklingen GM-Instrumente unbeabsichtigt bei Ansteuerung über MIDI. Stellen Sie sicher, dass in den Presets die Pegel der GM-Instrumente auf "0" stehen, wenn nicht anders beabsichtigt.

Wir empfehlen, den DSP bis zur Fertigstellung der optimierten GM-Klänge mit Version 11.17 (HX35_5504-FW_1117_noGM.dfu) upzudaten, es stehen dann bei #2001..#2003 die erweiterten Hall-Programme zur Verfügung (z.B. 4 bei #2002, 6 bei #2003).
