Welcome to the "unofficial" HX users website

A free resource for the world wide users of the HX Electone

Visit our new HX FORUM

Welcome to the new hosting, please bear with me whilst I get the site de-bugged and fully operational!

This site was created to act as a hub for all users of the HX organ. So that everyone can gain practical information to get the most out of their instruments. The HX is a very complex computer and those new to the instrument (as well as seasoned users) need all the help available.

I hope to relay as much advice and information as possible to expand on the "unfriendly" manual and expose the "hidden" parts of the HX. I welcome contributions from all users, let me know if you have a "tip" which would benifit others.

I have been playing the HX since 1996, I bought a HX 5 and was keen to find a HX 1 system 1, Having searched for information on the HX and finding little help I decided to set up this website, It started off as a bit of a joke. But now it has grown beyond my initial expectations.

There have been many visitors, I am not bothered about the number because that is irrelevant. Many of these visitors get in touch and I am always interested to hear from anyone.

The site is really for the HX, but I welcome contributions about other organs of this generation, HS HE HC ME MC US CHX.  I was brought up on the organs of the 80's, I like the way they operate and the way they sound. It's the familiarity of the HX as an extension of the ME and HS organs which I learned to play whilst at school.

HX series player will recognise the above, press the buttons to access all areas!
