  • Page 3: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION MAG Custom Organs use the HX3 sound engine, which offers an incredibly accurate reproduction of the sound generated by the vintage tonewheel consoles. Besides the few typical controls of the consoles, some knobs and buttons offer real-time control of the most frequently adjusted parameters, and “hidden”...

  • Page 4: Front Panel Controls

    FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The following controls are located on the front panel, from left to right. • VOLUME NORMAL/SOFT: This tab reduces the volume of the organ, enabling a lower minimum volume. On the Soft setting, the signal is properly equalized for a perfect simulation of the original effect.
  • Page 5 • PERCUSSION ON/OFF: This tab activates the harmonic percussion tone. As in the vintage consoles, when this tab is ON, the 1’ drawbar of the upper manual is not active; this setting can be changed through the external Programmer Unit or the free Editor software. •...

  • Page 6: Reverse-Color Keys

    REVERSE-COLOR KEYS At the left end of each manual is an octave of reverse-color keys. These control which set of drawbars or preset is active for each manual. The keys are non-latching, and two rows of small LEDs on the front strip between the manuals indicate which set of drawbars or preset is engaged on each manual.

  • Page 7: End Block Controls

    END BLOCK CONTROLS The following knobs are located on the end block to the left of the upper manual. • SUST: This knob adds a sustain effect to the pedal tones as in some vintage consoles. In the free Editor software, this parameter is labelled Release and controls the length of time for the tone to fade away when a pedal is released.
  • Page 8 The following buttons are located on the end block to the left of the lower manual. • REV I and REV II: These buttons select the three available reverb algorithms (I + II = III) for the Extra Sounds only. The intensity of each algorithm can be set through the external Programmer Unit or the free Editor software.
  • Page 9 • VENT SPEED (2 LEDs unlabeled): This button is mainly used for programming the mini VENT (see the relevant section); the two LEDs flash to indicate the speed of the virtual rotors, with the amber LED indicating the speed of the low-frequency drum rotor, and the red LED indicating the speed of the mid/high-frequency horn rotor.

  • Page 10: Back Panel Connectors

    • SERIAL: This DB9 serial port socket is for connecting the optional Programmer Unit. • MIDI IN P: This socket is for connecting a MIDI pedalboard. If a MAG pedalboard is used, the needed voltage for the pedalboard is carried by the wires not used for MIDI signals in a 5-wire DIN cable.
  • Page 11 • EXTRA SOUNDS R + L: These sockets are stereo audio outputs from the Extra Sounds section. • ORGAN DIR.: This socket is a mono audio output from the Organ section. This is the same signal sent to the mini VENT and the Leslie™ interfaces. •...

  • Page 12: Programmer Unit (Optional)

    PROGRAMMER UNIT (OPTIONAL) The PU-1 Programmer Unit is an optional compact unit equipped with a display, a rotary encoder and two buttons that provide a very practical way to adjust all of the parameters affecting the sound generation and modifications (carried on inside the AO-28 preamplifier in the vintage consoles) and some more parameters related to the setup of the organ.

  • Page 13: Mini Vent

    mini VENT When the mini VENT is installed, its stereo audio output signal is presented to the ROTARY (BAL) R/MONO + L sockets on the back panel. The mini VENT R + L signals are balanced to enable direct connection to other professional equipment. If only a mono signal is needed, the R/MONO output delivers the best rotary emulation quality, particularly when the Stop mode is engaged.

  • Page 15: Software Updating Procedure

    SOFTWARE UPDATING PROCEDURE The HX3 sound engine installed inside MAG organs routinely receives software updates to improve its sound generation and functionality, and this is a great opportunity to keep the organ updated with the latest features and sound quality. Each new version of software needs to be fully tested on our systems, and we typically release our specific version when the beta phase has been terminated.
