The HX3 Sound Engine is the digital remake of the fabulous HAMMOND B3 organ, created by Carsten Meyer.
The HX3 is a completely new approach for a tonewheel organ emulation.
The sound module HX3 uses neither computers nor signal processors, sample players or analog electronics for recreating the genuine tonewheel organ sound.
Instead, the original plans of a vintage Hammond B3 and also the Leslie speaker have been transferred to a detailed physical model,
and implemented in a XYLINX FPGA chip. ( Field Programmable Gate Array )
The new tonewheel sound engine ( HX3.5 ) is now available. Outward appearance unchanged, it brings up new technology and great enhancements. The new HX3 RealOrgan engine is capable of emulating all electromagnetic organs including the famous H100, combo organs, concert organs of the 70s and 80s like Böhm Orchester and Wersi Helios.
