UPGRADE, ULTRA HARMONIZER TO H3000D/SE

Boost your Harmonizer H3000

D/SE CONVERSION KIT "ULTRA-RARE" Dynamics processing

KIT TO CONVERT YOUR H3000 OR FOR REPAIRED YOUR H3000!!

Converts all H3000 models to H3000D/SE.


Used to upgrade the original H3000, H3000-B, H3000-S, and H3000-D/SX. Contains all the features of the
H3000-D/SX plus those of the H3000-D/SE. Here is a complete list of features.

UPGRADE ROMS AVAILABLE FOR THE H3000 LINE OF ULTRA-HARMONIZER® Brand Effects Processors.

All Ultra-Harmonizers have the model number printed over the display. As the upgrades are done internally
by adding software EPROMs, the front panel nomenclature will not apply if the internal software has been
upgraded. Check your algorithms and presets with those listed below to confirm if your H3000 has
upgrades installed.

The presets are sound effects written from algorithms installed in your unit. Algorithms are adjusted to
create different effects and stored as presets. The original algorithms or any of the presets may be used for
signal processing. The algorithms and presets are stored in ROM and cannot be deleted. The user may
create unique presets by adjusting any algorithm or preset to the desired parameters and storing the new
settings in battery-backed, NV SRAM. These new presets can be deleted if desired. All presets have an
"origin" key that, when pressed, will display the algorithm that the preset was written from.

H3000 Modification Instructions for the H3000-D/SE Version 2.17 Operating System Software

This document describes the procedure for adding the features of the H3000-D/SE to any H3000, H3000-S,
H3000-D/SX, or H3000-B Ultra-Harmonizer. If your unit has an operating system version of 2.16 or lower
you must perform all of the modifications listed herein. If you have an H3000-B, H3000-S, or H3000-D/SX
with an operating system of 2.17 or higher, skip the CUT AND JUMP section.
In some cases, you will have to do without the presets and some features you are used to until an EPROM
exchange is made. As a consolation, you will have use of all the algorithms and presets of the H3000-D/SE to
play with while the other EPROMs are in the exchange process. Be sure to read WHAT TO DO WITH THE
LEFT OVER EPROMS section before doing the installation to determine if an exchange is required.
BEFORE BEGINNING

Save your presets! This modification procedure will cause all of your presets to be erased. If you have a
computer with "MIDI Librarian" software, transfer them to the computer as described in the manual. If you
don't, write down the settings for each parameter. NOTE: This only applies to units with an operating
system of 2.16 or higher. Many of the parameters in operating system versions 2.11 and lower have been
changed in successive revisions and are not compatible with the new operating system.
The MODIFICATION KIT (D/SECONKIT) comprises the following components:
3 EPROMS:
1 x D/SX&D/SE ROM1 V2.17 Operating System
1 x D/SX&D/SE ROM2 V2.17 Main Algorithms
1 x D/SE ROM3 V 2.17/2M Algorithms & Presets
You will also need:
Soldering iron and electronic-grade solder
Small phillips screwdriver
A cutting tool such as an Exacto knife or razor blade

1. REMOVE POWER FROM THE H3000 by disconnecting the AC power cord. Disconnect all other cables to
make access convenient.
2. REMOVE the TOP COVER from the unit by removing the phillips screws around the periphery of the
cover.
3 PLACE the UNIT in front of you with the FRONT PANEL facing you. All instructions for the placing of
EPROMs in sockets, the cuts, and jumps are described and/or shown with the unit in this position.

CUT AND JUMP PROCEDURE


1. Locate the jumpers marked X1 through X8 found between the software EPROMS installed in the right,
rear of the main PC board (see diagram).
2. Using the knife or razor blade, carefully cut between the pads as necessary to make your main pc board
match with the cuts indictated in the diagram. Be sure to break the connection completely by insuring that
any markings on the PC board that appear between the pads are cut completely through. This will insure a
broken connection.
3. Short the pads as necessary to match your main PC board with the connections shown in the diagram.
To do this you must create a small pool of solder across pads as indicated in the diagram. Be VERY
CARFUL to avoid bridging the gap(s) you created step 2 and avoid soldering anything else!
The pads should now be in exactly the same configuration as indicated in the diagram. Check your work to
insure that all connections are broken where cut and there is continuity between the newly jumpered pads.
(Note: most of the problems reported to us after an upgrade kit installation are solved simply by double
checking the cut and jump work.)
INSTALL THE NEW D/SECONKIT EPROMS
1. Remove the Operating System EPROM currently installed in socket U53.
2. Replace this EPROM with the D/SX&D/SE ROM1 V2.17 included with the kit. NOTE: Be sure to install the
EPROM with the notch to the left. As this EPROM has fewer pins than the socket, be sure that it is installed
flush right.
3. Remove all other software EPROMs. Be sure they are static protected as you may need to re-install them
after reading the next section.
4. Install both D/SX&D/SE ROM2 V2.17 and D/SE ROM3 V2.17 in any empty socket. NOTE: be sure to install
with the notch to the left.
RESET PROCEDURE
1. Carefully inspect your work for shorts and soldering quality. Be sure that all pins of the EPROMs are
inserted fully and none are bent underneath the body of the component.
2. Reconnect the AC power cord to the rear of the unit. The Operating System must now be reset as
follows:
FINAL ASSEMBLY
1. Put the top cover back on. The machine screws go in the two holes in the front center of the unit. The
remainder of the holes take the self-tapping screws.
This upgrade kit does not include the H3000 D/SE manual
