When pressing one of the preset buttons the corresponding preset is called, another press on the same button switches the preset off again (ie. back to "live" setting).

			Coding of common presets is binary, they will call manual presets 1, 2, 4 and 8 (preset 0 is "Live"). It is allowed to press more than one common preset button simultaneously. Upcoming firmware version 3.925 will make it easier to select binary coded presets.

	7, 10 or 15 presets separate for each manual are available with supplementary boards Preset16 (one or two, ie. 7 or 15 presets per manual) and Preset24 (10 presets per manual), the latter with switching from two drawbar "live" sets per manual as on real B3. As on '''common presets''', a preset will be saved by pressing a preset button or Preset24 key by more than 2 seconds. See Preset16 and Preset24 pages for details.		7, 10 or 15 presets separate for each manual are available with supplementary boards Preset16 (one or two, ie. 7 or 15 presets per manual) and Preset24 (10 presets per manual), the latter with switching from two drawbar "live" sets per manual as on real B3.

			===Preset Behaviour on HX3 MIDI Expander===

	On '''HX3 MIDI Expander''', all tabs are saved to presets; preset 0 is a special "live" preset that remembers sound changes by MIDI if temporarily switched to a preset other than 0. So you get your previous "live" sound back when you switch from other preset to 0 without having to "save". The "live" setting is held in RAM, so it is lost when powering off. However, it will remember that sound permanently if preset 0 is saved explicitely.

	~~==Audio Outputs==~~
	HX3 has '''4 separate audio output channels''' (see jack description above). Use stereo type or Y-cable to obtain all channels. If using mono cables, only '''Organ Main''' and '''Leslie Sim''' outputs are available. Despite complex modeling and switchable reverb, the simulation will not replace a "room" atmosphere. If necessary, in studio recording situations you should consider a miked instrumental amplifier; direct mixing of the output signal is rather unsatisfactory.

	We recommend connecting an expression pedal '''Yamaha FC-7''' or similar (1/4" jack, 10k to 47k total resistance) directly to the module, as it has a higher resolution and acts faster than MIDI control by MIDI CC #11. Anyway, instead of the ORGAN MAIN output you may use the simulated Leslie Amp 122 output instead which has a separate volume pot (for example by MIDI CC $4C hex, 76 decimal in NI B4 MIDI CC set). It may be also be changed by MenuPanel entry "LeslieVolume" (to be reached directly by pressing DATA ENTRY knob after power-on).

	Note: On firmware '''up to version #3.44''', despite the swell/expression pedal (or MIDI CC #11) there is a "simulated" total volume control by MIDI CC #7. But: It only reduces "travel" of swell pedal, it is not intended as a volume pot substitute (would reduce resolution and S/N ratio due to internal 16 bit audio handling). On firmware '''#3.45 and newer''', MIDI CC #7 controls the Leslie amp volume which only affects the LESL/AMP Leslie Sim and Leslie Amp output jack.==Drawbars==		Note: On firmware '''up to version #3.44''', despite the swell/expression pedal (or MIDI CC #11) there is a "simulated" total volume control by MIDI CC #7.
