	The ''HX3 Manager'' in version #6.0x does no longer perform automatic updates for HX3.5 devices. The parts needed for the update are listed in the changelog on our update page instead. Normally, an update should be limited to the firmware (file "firmware.bin"), unless the changelog explicitly refers to other parts. Use ''HX3 Updater'' menu "Update via USB or FTDI cable".

	With updates from older versions below #5.730 quite a lot of default parameters (EEPROM) may have changed; the organ may sound bad with it. It is then advisable to also perform an EEPROM update and manually perform the settings required for your own device (e.g. button, switch and drawbar assignments) in the HX3 Editor.

	For firmware #5.808 and up you need the new ''HX3 Manager'' version #6.06, which is included in the '''[http://updates.keyboardpartner.de/Files/?dir=HX3.5%20Manager%20Current%20Firmware update package]'''. Firmware #5.8xx uses the same parameters (see ''HX3 Editor'' table) as firmware #5.7xx with some exceptions; some now redundant ones (like various vibrato presets) have been dropped.

	Connection will fail with '''bad button or analog input configuration'''. For example, if a button input is configured as a voice or preset button and this digital input is tied to common ground (by switch, short etc), HX3 will not respond to HX3 Manager commands as it will try to save or recall voices/presets all the time (blinking LEDs). To prevent HX3 Manager from crashing due to misconfiguration, disconnect all digital input panels except MenuPanel from PL4, PL25 and PL26. When an assigned analog input is left open, it will "float" and send random MIDI CC data. In Connect dialog, disable analog inputs temporarily by checkbox. This will set System Inits #1503 to 0.
