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.
