thanks a lot my friends! great videos here (apart from mine :-) ) it's always a pleasure to come here and see all this good music!

it's time for my XMAS video [video:youtube] ciao! Marco

WOW!!!! great music, thanks for sharing

thanks!!!!

thanks a lot!!!!

always lot of great inspirations here! so, here some new improvised music of mine, just messing around.... [video:youtube]T1E7QuFc-IE

SK2 in rock (we never tried these songs before - first time ever - so forgive for the mess ) [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pAWMrVBJnE

Yes. You could tell the SK-1 that the attached controller is the lower manual of the organ and then have the lower manual play the Extra Voice piano. You can also set the SK-1 up so that whatever it receives plays the EV (channel info is irrelevant). There are a number of ways the SK-1 can be configured to use an external controller: Lower, lower + pedal, pedal, EXVoice, upper, upper + pedal and Sequence. thanks a lot!!!!!

ciao, sorry if this was already discussed.... with SK1, should it be possible to use organ sound on midi channel 1 and piano sound on midi channel 2 (played with an external midi controller)? thanks for any suggestion Marco

HX3 with GSi BURN. YES, it ROCKs! :-)

I'll try.... OK, you know I'm NOT a jazz player.... so this is the best I can do backing loop from Yamaha MOXF. HX3 direct out to mixer. HX3 amp saturation level is about 50 (on a total of about 200). in my previous video the level was around 100. remember that this parameter is NOT an "overdrive", but it imitates the correct leslie saturation occurring when increasing the leslie amp volume. here....

ciao, the HX3 expander is ALREADY mapped for different clonewheels/controllers so I jus selected midi map = hamichord and all is working. the preset keys.... I just use the last two keys in order to select the set of drawbars, I have to try with the other preset keys (but it is not important for me because I never use presets with my C3 hammond too).

I'll try....

yes, this is the direct stereo output with internal leslie sim. just a little external reverb added during the mix

again.... NO clean sound here! for rockers only [video:youtube]

ciao, solved at 80% the clip issue, thanks to Carsten's help he suggested me to reduce the parameter 607 (Leslie Level Input) with the HX3 Remote editor. it works, but still some unespected clipping occurs, so I'll try to upgrade the firmware too (but I'm still not familiar with the procedure....). new demo coming soon....

thanks again! I'm not able to do the update by myself.... so I'll send back the expander to Carsten, for the 4th time.... not feasable for me. this board is growing up month after month, becaming the reference for hammond digital clonewheels. but still too difficult for the "normal" people to update.... (also because of lack of information in english language....) I still have not anderstood what to do for the update and no easy to have quick replay (as I know Carsten is very busy with this project - and with his real life too! - ). I bought the expander when it was just relised for the first time, but I used it a couple of time only (all these months it was travelling to/from Germany ). I'll wait for Carsten replay.... maybe I'll buy the new board (when it will be "stable" for at least 6 months ) .... Ciao! M

the FATHER of all distorted hammonds.... no clean sound, for REAL jazz tone

less audible, but yes, the same. the problem is that there is no adjustable volume. previous version, using the direct out signal - no leslie simulation - allowed to adjust the volume/AMP output. now the volume is fixed, not adjustable.... other example, sounds VERY GOOD! very "real"

What example? linked video, at 4:15 or previously linked audio: at 3:44 and 3:48

Did you discuss these issues with the developer? Sounds really good in any way! yes, already sent a message (in the XH3 forum too). it's really demoralizing that you have such a powerful machine and you cannot use it (the digital clipping is really invasive). example here (at:15): ciao! Marco

Dear all! Finally the HX3 expander is back home with updated board. I just made a couple of test, so be patient, as soon as Ill have some time Ill make a detailed audio/video test. NEW Leslie simulation!!!!! Leslie in stereo is great and, thanks to this improvement, finally the overall sound is at very top level among the last generation clonewheels. Really adjustable and easy to edit with the easy-to-use front panel (I still do not use the pc editor, for the moment). Whit this new feature (stereo leslie) the overdrive effect sounds further better and natural. Finally, my ears can feel the correct behavior of a saturated tube-amped Leslie. OK, it is NOT like having a saturated 147 or 122 Leslie screaming in front of you, this is clear to all of us But the simulation (leslie + AMP/drive) is able enough to deceive and persuade my ears. Unfortunately, although the above mentioned features make the HX3 sounding great, there are a couple of "bugs" to be fixed, but the sound is really terrific. Here a quick example of the HUGE sound quality of this little beast. Expander stereo out direct to a Roland SA-1000 stereo amp. Audio taken with a ZOOM H2n placed in front of the amp. AMP saturation.... Some (three or four notes only) keys on the upper two octaves produce (with the AMP/DRIVE knob turned at levels just starting from 1/4) a digital clipping noise (you can hear a couple of that in my mp3). I determined that it is NOT a problem with my amp, or with my pc soundboard, or with my headphones, but it is a sort of digital clipping IF something digital is involved - generated by the HX3 itself. Maybe the problem should depend on the fact that HX3 has NO internal volume knob? Maybe it should be sufficient to attenuate the internal audio signal with a new system upgrade? Hopefully yes. Stay tuned. Ciao Marco

ciao Markus! unfortunately I haven't updated the stereo leslie yet. (to be honest, I have no idea about how to upgrade the module.... I asked via email but I still got no answer ) I can't wait for this upgrade, becouse the HX3 leslie sim (now in mono) sounds really good with it's internal drive (but with this mono mode it is no comparable with all the other sims). and no, the leslie pedal is definitely not the same effect of internal SK. it sounds different and it has a different overdrive (I prefer the overdrive of SK). at the moment the BURN is still my favorite....
