	** JackExtension PCB available for additional MIDI and audio input/output jacks, same jack location as old extension board		** JackExtension PCB available for additional MIDI and audio input/output jacks, same jack location as old extension board

	MIDI output jack may be mounted on mainboard (new hole for connector necessary) or custom JackExtension board (old location of MIDI OUT connector) alternatively. Note: JackExtension board may be customized for OEM use as it only contains passive components (jacks, optional level potentiometer).

	Commissioning is carried out in the same way as for the [[HX3.6_Installation_Manual#Preparing_HX3.6_for_first_Use\|'''HX3.6 board''']]. However, '''note the different header designations''' for HX3.7. Disregard sections concerning internal analog and internal digital inputs, vibrato rotary swich, ExtensionBoard as these are not applicable to HX3.7 mainboard.

	The improved, highly integrated HX3.7 mainboard will be available by end of 2024. It replaces the current HX3.6 mainboard and should be compatible with most existing installations. The basic HX3.7 board offers 2 audio output channels like HX3.6, while the '''HX3.7 EFX''' version offers 4 channel DACs, full Leslie speaker control circuits and an effects insert loop with additional ADC between internal tube amp and internal rotary simulation. This allows separate use of the rotary simulation for external musical instruments as well. Basic HX3.7 boards may be upgraded to HX3.7 EFX by factory.

	HX3.7 does no longer offer "legacy" button/switch inputs (like '''Panel16''') and classic analog drawbar inputs (old green '''DB9/DB12''' boards). Instead, it relies on I2C bus interfaces on external panels (like Preset16, Extern16 or VibratoSwitch) and analog scanning MPX bus circuits as found on PTX, ANX, DBX9 and DBX12 drawbar boards. For existing OEM installations, we will offer an interface ('''LegacyBoard''') providing connectors for legacy hardware ~~(see below)~~. However, we '''strongly recommend''' I2C bus ('''PANEL I2C''' connector, for buttons/switches/LEDs) and MPX bus ('''ANLG MPX''', analog scanning for pots/drawbars) circuitry as this greatly reduces wiring effort. Refer to our DBX, ANX and PTX schematics for MPX bus interfacing (using 74HC164 shift registers and 4066 analog switches) and Preset16/VibSw schematic (using PCA9554A and PCA9555 port devices) for I2C bus interfacing. All newer drawbar boards for HX3.5 and up (colored black) are compatible with HX3.7 ANLG MPX bus. All I2C-bus based Preset16, Preset12-2 and Extend16 boards are compatible with HX3.7, they do not need the LegacyBoard. For connection of a vibrato rotary switch, we offer the small '''HX3.7 VibratoSwitch''' board which has its own I2C circuit onboard. It connects to '''PL31 PANEL I2C''' bus.

 HX3.7 (HX3 mk7) is the follow-up model of the well-known HX3 mk5 and mk6 boards. While maintaining size and form factor, it offers higher performance and more flexibilty by using a larger 7th generation XILINX FPGA and a more powerful ARM microcontroller that handles the user interface.

 As an option (extended licence required), the new HX3 engine is capable of emulating all electromagnetic organs including H100, combo organs, several concert organs of the 70s and 80s like Böhm Orchester and Wersi Helios.
