HX3 Drawbar Expander is a tonewheel
organ emulation in a compact box – an
organ just without the keys. 32 drawbar
presets, many parameters tweakable by
simple menus – like key contact flex and
damping for key click response, more or
less percussion punch etc. And, of
course, it yields the legendary
unmatched HX3 sound.
