HX3.7 – Preliminary Draft

HX3.7 Part/Connector designators (available as PDF also, see our Documentation and Update Server)
HX3.7 JackExtension board

Common Features with HX3.5/HX3.6

  • Same firmware and same FPGA sound engine
  • Same PCB size, same mounting holes
  • Same location of DC, USB, audio and MIDI connectors
  • MenuPanel/Preset Bus Connector (I2C)
  • Analog MPX Bus for newer DBX, PTX and ANX boards
  • Auxiliary MIDI out, Fatar scan and pedal scan connectors

Omitted Features

  • No onboard drawbar inputs
  • No onboard button/switch inputs

Note: HX3.7 does no longer offer "legacy" button/switch inputs (Panel16) and classic analog drawbar inputs (old DB9/DB9-MPX boards). Instead, it relies on I2C interfaces on external panels (like Preset16, Extern16 or VibSw) and analog scanning circuits as found on PTX, ANX, DBX9 and DBX12 drawbar boards. For existing OEM installations, we may offer an interface (LegacyBoard) providing connectors for legacy hardware.

However, we strongly recommend I2C bus (PANEL connector) and MPX bus (ANLG MPX, analog scanning) circuits 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.

See HX3.7 Schematics Directory for detailed PDF drawings and schematics.

Additional Features

  • All ExtensionBoard features integrated
  • Integrated 11-pin Leslie control, ExtensionBoard pinout on 14-pin box header PL1
  • Additional DAC, outputs for plain organ and pedal signal, total of 4 audio output channels
  • Headphone amp
  • Improved DACs and audio amps/filters
  • Insert loop (mono effects insert between tube amp simulation and rotary simulation)
  • 3 onboard MIDI connectors (2x IN, 1x OUT)
  • Onboard audio output jacks may be jumpered as L/R mono jacks or stereo L/R and stereo headphone jack
  • Additional output signals and effect loop input available on 16-pin box header PL2 and 3-pin wire-to-board connectors
  • 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).


See HX3.7 Schematics Directory on our Update Server for details.

HX3.7 JackExtension

A small board will be available which makes installation of additional HX3.7 connectors easier. HX3.7 JackExtension will be used in futute 19" rack expander. It connects to HX3.7 PL2 and only carries passive/mechanical parts for convenient wiring.

HX3.7 LegacyBoard

HX3.7 LegacyBoard dimensions

As HX3.7 does no longer offer legacy analog and switch inputs, the HX3.7 LegacyBoard will be available to connect existing switches and analog controls. The LegacyBoard is not needed for new installations using the new MPX connector (DBX/PTX/ANX boards).
