HX3 MIDI Expander

HX3 MIDI Expander 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. HX3 provides
unlimited polyphony, 100 presets, parameters are 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.
