Every
once in a while a special instrument comes along. This is one of them.
From the big sound down to the subtle details, this is an awesome organ.
Meet the Korg CX-3.
The sound of this
tonewheel clone will equal that of any other clone in the business. And
we'll give you one of the best prices you'll find anywhere. CX-3 Technology If you're searching for ultimate realism in a classic tonewheel organ sound, stop looking. You just found it. The engineers at Korg just raised the bar for realism. This organ is the truest reproduction of the famous tonewheel sound ever built. The new Korg CX-3 takes tonewheel realism to a whole new level. Using its newly developed Tone Wheel Organ Modeling generator, KORG's advanced DSP technology precisely recreates the truly unique sound produced by a tonewheel organ. Two different tone wheel sounds are provided ("VINTAGE" and "CLEAN"), and the CX3's amazing realism extends to such details as allowing you to add the mechanical noise generated by the tone wheels (Leakage) and the ability to adjust the overtone levels of the tone wheels. Plus, you can connect an expression pedal and control volume and sound characteristics with your foot. 128 possible programs for immediate use. With 128 programs
including over 30 preset programs, the CX-3 covers a wide range of styles
including pop, hard rock, jazz, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Detailed
drawbar and parameter settings are displayed in an intuitively understandable
way, and can be easily edited to create your own personalized sounds.
Thanks to the contribution of leading organ players such as Brian Auger,
Bill Champlin, Tom Coster, Al Kooper, Greg Phillanganes, Derek Sherinian
and Dr. Lonnie Smith, the CX-3 also Ultra-fast response maximizes your organ playing technique. Careful attention has been paid to the long-neglected aspect of keyboard response speed. Conventional MIDI keyboards begin producing sound after the second key contact is reached, resulting in an unavoidable time lag between the moment the key is pressed and the beginning of the sound. The key scanning method used on the CX-3 starts the sound at the first key contact, ensuring a much faster response to your fingering. Notes speak more crisply, allowing glissandi and trills to be played with total authenticity. Drawbars - the backbone of the organ sound. The CX-3 provides two sets of nine drawbars just like the real instrument. By sliding drawbars in or out to mix various pitches relative to the fundamental, you can create the richly distinctive sounds of an electric organ. Careful attention has been paid to sonically emulate this system, including the proper foldback settings, and individual harmonic distortion for the truest tonewheel sound ever providing by a digital emulation. In addition, the CX-3 provides an EX mode in which the 18 drawbars can be fully utilized for new sound-creating potential. You can add new harmonics and control additional percussion harmonics to create new organ sounds that have never been heard before. Percussion and key-click add character to your organ sounds. The CX-3 also produces the unique percussive effects that add an authentic "clunk" to the notes. The volume, decay rate, and pitch (2nd, 3rd) of the percussion sound can also be adjusted and the percussion has the proper "multi-triggered-yet-monophonic" characteristic for authentic organ performance. And you can make settings for the key-click sound that is heard when you press or release a key, giving you the distinctive sense of attack that characterizes the classic electric organs. Realistic rotary and spatial effects. KORG's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology is applied to create effects that add further authenticity to the organ sound. The rotary effect that is so important for organs is recreated with total realism. You can even adjust the time required for rotation to stop after the rotor or horn switch speeds or stop the rotating altogether. This lets you enjoy real organ playing without needing a bulky and expensive rotary speaker system - simply connect to any playback system. Three types of amp simulator are provided to accurately reproduce the real rotary speaker sound, a classic tube amp sound, or a pre-amp only signal for running into a real rotary speaker cabinet. The simulation is perfect, ranging from mild and fat sounds to natural overdrive as you increase the volume. In addition, the classic vibrato and chorus settings of a true tonewheel organ are provided, along with three types of reverb, with adjustable tone and depth. Split function lets you use two sounds simultaneously. You can specify a split point and use different sounds in the left and right sides of the keyboard. This lets you use the single keyboard as if it were two, an UPPER and LOWER keyboard, so that you can move smoothly between playing different sounds on the same keyboard without pausing to press buttons. You can also plug in a second MIDI keyboard and use it to drive the lower manual sound for even more freedom in playing. The CX-3 can also function as a MIDI controller, allowing you to layer other external sound sources on top of the organ sounds, and decide whether they play with or without velocity response for the ultimate in expressive capabilities. Timeless aura and inimitable presence. The sturdy wood chassis and natural wood side boards project an inimitable presence. Visible bolts and the cream-colored keyboard are just some of the details by which the CX-3 maintains a timeless aura that tells the musician they are playing a classic instrument. Drawbars, vibrato/chorus, and percussion switches are placed in the very same location as on the classic tone wheel organs, demonstrating a total commitment to the traditional playability of the organ.
