HX3 MIDI-Implementierung
MIDI Steuerung
HX3 akzeptiert MIDI-Tasteninformationen NOTE ON / OFF (Default: Kanal 1 für Obermanual, Kanal 2 für Untermanual und Kanal 3 für Pedal; der Basiskanal 1 kann per Menu MIDI CH geändert werden) wie auch verschiedene MIDI CCs in selektierbaren, zu vielen Instrumenten kompatiblen Sets. Fremde SysEx-Daten werden generell ignoriert. Die beiden MIDI-IN-Buchsen (Default) haben gleiche Priorität. Sie können zwei Masterkeyboards, ein Keyboard und ein Basspedal oder einen MIDI-Controller gleichzeitig anschließen. Zum Anschluss eines dritten Eingabegeräts ist ein MIDI Merge Interface erforderlich. HX3 kann in allen für das Orgelspiel relevanten Funktionen über MIDI fernbedient werden.
Allgemein
Der MIDI-OUT-Anschluss Ihres MIDI Controllers/Keyboards wird mit einem der beiden HX3 MIDI IN verbunden. HX3 kann die Einstellung eines neu angeschlossenen MIDI-Controllers nicht bestimmen, bevor dessen Bedienelemente erstmalig benutzt werden. Warten Sie, bis HX3 zum Datenempfang bereit ist (Preset/Drawbar-Hauptmenü erscheint im Display). Es ist ratsam, den HX3 vor dem angeschlossenen Masterkeyboard oder Controller in Betrieb zu nehmen. MIDI CC #7 steuert den analogen Ausgangspegel (Master Volume), MIDI CC #11 die Schwellerstellung. Diese Zuordnung kann, falls erforderlich, im Menü geändert werden.
HX3.5 ermöglicht MIDI over USB durch den USB-Port, verbunden mit einem USB-Host, typischerweise einem PC. Die USB-Verbindung ist außerdem geeignet für die Kommunikation des HX3.5 mit dem HX35 Editor, für Firmware-Updates über MIDI SysEx und für DSP-Updates über DFU-Datentransfer.
MIDI CC #7 steuert den analogen Ausgangspegel (Master Volume), MIDI CC #11 die Schwellerstellung. Diese Zuordnungen können, falls erforderlich, im Menü geändert werden. Bei direkt angeschlossenem Schwellerpedal überschreiben CC-#11-Befehle die Schwellerstellung. Andernfalls, wenn das Schwellerpedal nicht benutzt wird, werden die MIDI-Expression-Befehle wirksam. Jedes gültige MIDI CC Kommando überschreibt die HX3-eigenen analogen Controller und Schalter, bis sie selbst im HX3 verändert werden.
Einige MIDI-Controller wie auch Orgel-Keyboards (z.B. Hammond SK und XK-Serien) erlauben 2nd und 3rd Percussion gleichzeitig. Der HX 3 betrachtet in diesem Fall die Funktion "2nd ON" als "Percussion ON"-Schalter, da er sich streng an die Bedienweise der B3 hält.
Lesen Sie in der Bedienungsanleitung den Abschnitt 3.2.4 Gruppe Commons zur Auswahl des gewünschten MIDI CC Satzes. Default-Einstellung ist Native Instruments B4, die den vielseitigsten Kommandosatz besitzt
das Menü-Panel und HX3 Remote (HX3.4) oder HX35 Editor (nur HX3.5) ermöglichen die Einstellung des MIDI-Kanals und die Auswahl des MIDI CC-Sets. Im Menü halten Sie den Drehknopf zwei Sekunden gedrückt, um die Einstellung als Start-Defaultwert zu sichern.

Von HX3.4 generierte MIDI-Events
HX3.4 (mk2/3/4 Board) sendet lokale Noten-ON/OFF-Events auf dem MIDI-Basiskanal (Obermanual), dem Basiskanal +1 (Untermanual) und dem Basiskanal +2 (Pedal). Es sendet MIDI CCs von Bedienelementen (Zugriegel, Schalter) entsprechend der NI B4-Implementierung (unabhängig vom gewählten CC-Set). Ab Firmware 3.82 sendet HX3 keine eigenen MIDI CCs auf MIDI OUT, wenn die MIDI Option = 3 (RcvSndMgNoCC). MIDI Option = 3 ist jetzt Default auf allen Firmware-Versionen ausgenommen für den HX3 Expander (der MIDI CCs annehmen muss). Diese Änderung ist erfolgt, weil die vom HX gesendeten MIDI CCs einige MIDI-Workstations/Arranger gestört haben. Bitte beachten: Wenn Senden/Empfang von MIDI CCs eingeschaltet ist (Option = 1 oder 2), sendet HX3 seine eigenen CCs (Zugriegel etc.) immer entsprechend dem NI B4 Set, unabhängig vom gewählten MIDI CC-Interpreter.
Hinweis für OEM: Unabhängig von der gewählten MIDI Option sendet HX3 immer ein Signal mit 3.3V TTL-Pegel auf PL16 Pin 8 zur Steuerung des Ventilator/Minivent DSP-Boards mit synchronisiertem Stop/Slow/Fast. Pin 34 des Vent DSP-Board ist der MIDI TTL-Eingang. Außerdem Digital Ground (PL16 pin 10) verbinden. Der Ventilator DSP akzeptiert MIDI CC #21 mit den Werten 0 (Stop), 1 (Slow), 2 (Fast) auf Kanal 1.
Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, per Fernsteuerung ein Preset anzulegen; dafür ist die Speicherfunktion des Menü-Panels zu verwenden.
Von HX3.5 generierte MIDI-Events
HX3.5 sendet lokale Noten-ON/OFF-Events auf dem MIDI-Basiskanal (Obermanual), dem Basiskanal +1 (Untermanual) und dem Basiskanal +2 (Pedal). Es sendet MIDI Program Change und Schweller-Pedal, aber keine andere Daten von Bedienelementen. MIDI IN1, IN2 und MIDI over USB werden immer akzeptiert. Wichtig: MIDI IN2 und MIDI IN over USB dürfen nicht simultan genutzt werden.
Program Change
Program Change auf HX3.4
HX3 mk4 akzeptiert MIDI Program Change-Befehle in einigen MIDI CC-Sets. Im NI B4-Modus, rufen MIDI Program Changes 12...23 auf dem Kanal für das obere Manual die Presets für das untere Manual auf, übereinstimmend mit gebräuchlichen NI B4-Hardware-Controllern. In den Hammond CC-Modi ist Program 11 das "Live"-Preset (inverse "B"-Taste) und ruft die Voice 0 auf.
Program Change auf HX3.5
Generell verarbeitet HX3.5 (ab Firmware 5.3) MIDI Program Change-Befehle (gültiger Bereich 0 bis 39). Die Nummern 0 bis 15 werden nach den MIDI-Kanälen getrennt verarbeitet als "Auswahl der Zugriegel-Voice" für Obermanual, Untermanual und Pedal, das heißt, sie entsprechen der "inversen" Preset-Tasten , die man von Hammond-Konsolenorgeln kennt. Die Nummern 16 bis 39 wählen die mittels HX35 Editor vorbelegten GM Voices aus. Der Wechsel einer Zugriegel-Voice wirkt sich nicht auf Schalterstellungen (Perkussion, Vibrato etc) aus.
Allerdings verarbeiten nicht alle HX3.5 MIDI CC Sets die MIDI Program Changes in gleicher Weise: Im NI B4-Modus rufen MIDI Program Changes 12 bis 23 auf dem Obermanual-Kanal die Voices für das Untermanual ab, entsprechend gebräuchlichen NI B4-Hardware-Controllern. In den Hammond CC-Modi, ist Program 11 das "Live"-Preset (inverse "B"-Taste) und ruft Voice 0 ab. Im Nord C1/C2 CC-Modus sind Program 126/127 die "Live"-Presets (inverse "A#"- und "B"-Tasten) und rufen Voice 0 ab.
Bank Select on HX3.5
HX3.5 will handle MIDI Bank Select Commands as "Set Overall Preset" (valid numbers range from 0 to 15). Overall Presets include all Tab settings and additional pots (volume, reverb amount etc) as well as the drawbar voice number. Note that some MIDI keyboards will send a MIDI Bank Select command separately, others will issue a MIDI Bank Select only with a MIDI Program Change. In the latter case, the issued MIDI Program Change command will override the voice setting.
MIDI CC Sets
HX3 provides pre-configured MIDI CC sets plus one fully customizable set (HX3.4 only), selectable by MenuPanel, by HX3 Remote or HX35 Editor application, respectively. Factory default is the Native Instruments B4 set, supported by many MIDI controllers. If MIDI CC output is enabled, HX3 will send CCs always according to NI B4 set. HX3 does not support weird SysEx encodings found on some Roland, Oberheim and Viscount models. All values based decimal!
A very comprehensive Böhm/Keyswerk Sempra MIDI CC set is available on HX3.5 mainboards. Please contact KeyboardPartner for details.
NI B4 d3c
The Doepfer d3c drawbar controller is a very nice and rugged piece of gear, so we recommend it for use with our HX3 board. It does support foot controllers and foot switches. The Keyswerk/Böhm db4 is also compatible with NI B4 CC set.
Upper, lower and bass drawbars work as usual. It is a good idea to set all to zero before switching on as this is a “known state” for HX3. Also the Percussion and Vibrato buttons work as described in d3c manual. There is a small drawback, anyway: Default HX3 Vibrato setting is V1 (but upper/lower vibrato OFF), while the V1 LED will not light up when powering up the d3c (there is no “V0” on a real Hammond!). So pressing the V1 button will not change the sound – just turn its LED on.
The “Brightness” knob controls AO28 “tone” parameter of the HX3. There is no key click simulated by HX3 (it is just there), so you cannot adjust key click (a real Hammond does not have key click adjustment, either). The “Key Click” knob controls the bass sustain instead. You may argue “a real Hammond does not have a bass pedal sustain, too”. Right, but many aftermarket kits are installed, so this is OK (for me).
Do not use the “Harmonic content” knob as it sends the “Percussion” button’s controller number like a continuous controller. What for? No idea. This is definitely of no use.
Preset buttons may be used, but in a restricted way. First, HX3 has 15 presets per manual, not 127 like NI B4. When selecting “Bank 1”, all 12 available preset buttons work on upper manual. When selecting “Bank 2”, all 12 preset buttons work on lower manual. Doepfer d3c resends the program change message when changing the bank, which may be annoying. Choose bank 2, lower preset first, then bank 1, upper preset. BTW: Bank buttons do not send bank select messages, they just add an offset to the preset buttons. Blame Doepfer for that.
Doepfer d3c preset 1 is the HX3 “Live” (preset 0) position. It will be saved temporarily (until HX3 is switched off) when a preset sound (2 to 12) is selected. If you return to preset 1 “Live”, your last drawbar/button setting will be recalled. Please note: HX3 tracks drawbar and button changes even when in preset position 2 to 12, so it keeps itself updated all the time.
NI B4 set accepts program changes for upper manual MIDI channel, range 0..11 = upper presets and 12..23 = lower presets.

Voce Drawbars
Using your HX3 board with Voce MIDI Drawbars is straightforward, as the Voce module sends on one MIDI channel only (i.e. upper manual). Please note that Voce MIDI Drawbars does not send drawbar data unless you press the “Drawbar/Save” button, so that its LED lights up. You may change the Voce MIDI Drawbars send channel (back rotary HEX switch) at any time to lower (2) and bass channel (3), although this is somewhat inconvenient. In case of your technician has installed a toggle switch on the back side, channels can be changed easily.
Voce CC set accepts program changes for upper and lower manual on separate MIDI channels, range 0..15.

Hammond XK
HX3 supports most of Hammond XK MIDI controller functions. For convenience, some controllers have been relocated to other HX3 functions:
- XK Overdrive knob controls HX3 Rotary Tube Amp Volume
- XK Reverb button controls HX3 lower manual Vibrato On
- XK Tube On button controls HX3 Reverb
Hammond uses NRPN controllers instead of standard controller range. Drawbars are encoded through a weird grid scheme using only 3 CC#s, see XK manual for details.
Hammond XK set accepts program changes for upper manual MIDI channel, range 0..15, and changes presets for both upper and lower. Hammond Preset 11 will be converted to HX3 preset 0 (live).

Hammond SK
Hammond SK does not use the weird drawbar encoding scheme of the XK, instead standard CCs whith same numbers as NI B4 CCs for upper/lower manual and bass pedal 16'/8'. For other controllers, knobs and buttons, the SK uses nearly the NRPN scheme as found on XK. Some NRPNs differ, though (see table).
Hammond SK set accepts program changes for upper manual MIDI channel, range 0..15, and changes presets for both upper and lower. Hammond Preset 11 will be converted to HX3 preset 0 (live).
