Unzip "hx36_manager_XX.zip" file to a local directory on your harddisk. Applications will not run properly when started within ZIP window. Also download and unzip "DFU_driver_XP.zip" when using Windows 8 or older. For a full update, use the new application HX3 Manager contained in ZIP file. For a board installation manual, visit the HX3.6 Wiki Main Page. For changelog of older firmwares, see Firmware Archive. Please see the HX3.6 Migration Guide (english) for upgrades from HX3.5 boards. Serious bugfixes marked bold.
MAG and UHL organ users: Please do not update unless update version is certified by MAG Organs or UHL Instruments! These instruments require special configurations provided by manufacturer. Please see changelog below before downloading firmware. No field test has been accomplished on BETA versions, otherwise they should work as indicated. Send bug reports to "info at keyboardpartner dot de".
Laden Sie die Datei "hx36_manager_XX.zip" herunter und entpacken Sie diese in ein Verzeichnis auf Ihrer lokalen Festplatte. Wenn Sie eine ältere Windows-Version als Windows 10 verwenden, laden Sie zusätzlich den Treiber "DFU_driver_XP.zip" herunter; dieser wird ggf. während des Update-Prozesses benötigt. Die Anleitung zur Board-Installation finden Sie auf der HX3.6 Wiki Hauptseite. Ältere Firmware-Versionen finden Sie hier im Verzeichnis Firmware Archive. Die Unterschiede zu HX3.5-Boards finden Sie im HX3.6 Migration Guide (deutsch).
MAG and UHL-Instrumente: Bitte führen Sie kein Update durch, bevor dieses nicht vom jeweiligen Hersteller freigegeben ist! Diese Instrumente benötigen spezielle Konfigurationen, die vom Hersteller vorgegeben werden. Bitte prüfen Sie vor einem Update, ob es für Sie relevante Neuerungen enthält. Mit den BETA- Versionen wurde kein Feldtest durchgeführt, ansonsten sollten sie wie angegeben funktionieren. Senden Sie Fehler-Reports an "info at keyboardpartner dot de".

Note: Hammond organs with well-maintained (lubed) key contacts as well as newer Hammond keybed variants yield a somewhat lower key click volume. If a too loud key click is observed, update to newest firmware, FPGA and scan driver.
Organ Models parameter #1365 switches compression and loudness robbing effect on or off. It should be ON for all tonewheel organ models.
File Organ Models should be updated as well. If you wish to keep your existing (modified or custom) organ models, set parameters #1364 and #1365 to ON or OFF in HX3 Editor's Organ Models tab. Adjust Contact Spring Flex #1360 and Contact Spring Damping #1361 to personal taste. Click Store as Organ Model when done.
New HX3.6 scan drivers will no longer work on HX3.5, so they have been renamed to numbering scheme #6x.xx. Please use new scan driver(s) #6x.45 supplied in ZIP. Be sure to select the appropriate scan driver (Fatar, MIDI etc.) in HX3 BootLoad utility or HX3 Updater.
Note: It was not possible to get separate plain organ and pedal audio on main audio output jacks; when the RotaryBypass tab is ON, both organ and pedal audio are downmixed to mono on both Main L and R. This might be undesirable for customers without optional Extension Board when using an external rotary speaker.
When activated (checked), the new "Separate Main/Pedal if RotaryBypass ON" bit (in System Inits, parameter #1502) routes the plain organ and pedal audio separately to the mainboard L/R output channels when rotary/speaker simulation is bypassed. This bit should be OFF (unchecked) when an Extension Board is used as here both signals are present anyway.
Note: Some customers noted a "thin" reverb along with lower "Overall Reverb" #1086 values. In the past, parameter #1086 also controlled wet/dry mixture, which was undesirable. I changed behaviour to reverb time control on "Overall Reverb" #1086 parameter, while reverb "wet" levels are solely set by params #1400..1402. Max. reverb time (i.e. "Overall Reverb" #1086 potentiometer range) for each of the 3 reverb program (2 buttons) is still to be set by ''DSP Setup'' params #2005..#2007.
Note: I'm not quite shure which FPGA/SoundEngine sounds best in respect off bass response. fpgamain.bin is version #10122023 with old bass response. I added two versions simulating different bass reflex "holes" to try out: #16122023 (fpgamain_16.bin, 120 Hz reflex hole) and #17122023 (fpgamain_17.bin, 60 Hz reflex hole), both in updates directory. Please tell me your opinion.
Note: For Bootloader update to #1.07, board must be sent to KeyboardPartner for factory update (in case your SD Cards do not work properly).
Note: When preset key inputs are configured as switches, HX3 will change preset or voice directly when "inverted" preset key is pressed, not on preset key release. This may also be appropriate with non-latching keys. A voice or preset is immediately saved by pressing the CANCEL key and then the desired save destination key.
If bit 4 of param #1502 Various Configurations 2 is set, you must hold CANCEL key for about 2 seconds and then the desired save destination key. This would prevent an unintended save of a voice or preset.
