Introduction

1. About the CX-3

Main features

The CX-3 dual-manual combo organ contains a

tone

wheel organ modeling tone generator

that produces the

distinctive sound of a tone wheel organ. It provides two
61-note keyboards, allowing you to mimic the perfor-
mance techniques of a traditional tone wheel organ.

Korg's

technology is used to create spatial effects such

as rotary speaker, chorus/vibrato, and reverb, faithfully
simulating the modulated sounds produced by the turning
rotor and horn, the natural overdrive, and chorus/vibrato to
produce the authentic combo organ experience. The CX-3 is
all you need to enjoy real organ sound.

By operating the two sets of

drawbars

you can modify the

sound in realtime while you play. The sound is created
using one set of drawbars

in Normal mode

, or by using

both sets

in EX mode

. In EX mode, you can introduce

additional tonal and percussion harmonics, letting you
produce new sounds unavailable until now.

A conventional keyboard does not sound until a key is
pressed down all the way, but the CX-3 will sound even
when a key is pressed lightly. The notes will “speak” very
rapidly, as will the glissandi and trills you play.

The CX-3 accurately reproduces the distinctive

percus-

sive

attack associated with certain classic tone wheel

organs. You can also adjust the settings to obtain the
“contact arcing” or

key click

effect when you press or

release a key, providing the sense of attack unique to a
tone wheel organ.

There are

128 internal programs

(Normal mode: 64, EX

mode: 64) that let you enjoy a variety of organ sounds.

The CX-3 provides two “virtual” keyboards;

UPPER

and

LOWER

. The actual (physical) keyboard operates as the

upper keyboard, but by using the Split function you can
divide it into the upper and lower keyboards at any
desired point. Alternatively, since you can assign a
separate MIDI channel to the upper and lower keyboards,
you could connect an external MIDI keyboard to the CX-3
and use the external MIDI keyboard to play the CX-3's
lower keyboard sound.

To create the sound, the CX-3 uses the two sets of draw-
bars (Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2) on the front panel, as
well as the drawbar settings specified by the program.
Drawbar settings can also be made via MIDI.

The keys in the DRAWBAR SELECT section let you
choose which set of drawbars is active (see the diagram).

What is

(Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling

System) is KORG’s proprietary sound modeling technology
which precisely reproduces the complex character and nature of
both acoustic and electric instruments as well as electronic
circuits in real world environments. REMS emulates a wide
variety of sound generation characteristics including instru-
ment bodies, speakers & cabinets, acoustic fields, microphones,
vacuum tubes, transistors, etc.
