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 KORGs 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.

3. DRAWBAR section

Drawbar 1, Drawbar 2 Drawbar 1 is at the left, and Drawbar 2 at the right. Each bar is assigned a pitch (footage), and you can adjust the volume of that pitch by pulling the bar toward yourself. The overall character of the sound is determined by how far each bar is pulled out.

In EX mode, Drawbar 2 is used to control EX Drawbar and EX Percussion. For details, refer to Playing the CX-3 (p.13).

4. [DISPLAY] key The contents of the display will change each time you press this key.

The display will differ between Normal mode and EX mode. For details, refer to 1. About the display (p.15).

5. [EDIT] key Press this key to enter Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode In Normal mode, pressing this key will enter Normal Edit mode. In EX mode, pressing this key will enter EX Edit mode.

[GLOBAL] key Press this key to enter Global mode.

[EXIT] key Press this key to exit from Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, or Global mode, or to cancel an operation such as program write, copy, swap, or data dump.

[WRITE/ENTER] key Press this key to execute an operation such as pro- gram write, copy, swap, or data dump.

[ ]/[] keys In Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode, use these keys to move to the previous or next page, or to move the cursor to the left or right in the display.

[]/[+] keys In Normal mode and EX mode, use these keys to select banks of preset programs.

In Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode, use these keys to edit the value of a parameter.

Pressing and releasing a key will change the value in steps of 1, and holding down a key will change the value continuously.

6. [SPLIT] key The keyboard can be divided at the note (split point) you specify, with the right side as the upper and the left side as the lower keyboard. (p.14)

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.

The split point will be the highest note in the lower keyboard. You can set the split point separately for each pro- gram.

To change the split point, use the Group 7 Split Point parameter.

Since you can assign a separate MIDI channel to the upper and lower keyboards, you can connect an external MIDI keyboard to the CX-3 and use the external MIDI keyboard to play the CX-3's lower keyboard sound.

7. PERCUSSION section Here you can add an attack to the beginning of the notes, making the sound more crisp. For details, refer to 4. Percussion (p.18).

[ON] key This switches percussion on/off. When this is off, the [3rd] key, [SOFT] key, and [FAST] key will have no effect. LED lit: Percussion will be on.

[SOFT] key This switches the percussion volume (soft or normal).

LED lit: The percussion volume will be lowered.

[FAST] key This switches the percussion decay speed (fast or slow).

LED lit: The decay will be faster.

[3rd] key This switches the pitch of the percussion sound between the 3rd and 2nd harmonics.

When you are using the EX mode drawbars, this setting is assigned to the 2-2/3' drawbar of the EX Percussion (the five right-most bars of Drawbar 2).

LED lit (3rd): A pitch one octave and a fifth higher (corresponding to 2-2/3') will be assigned to the percussion effect. LED dark (2nd): A pitch one octave higher (corre- sponding to 4') will be assigned to the percussion effect.

8. PROGRAM [1][8] keys In Normal mode and EX mode, these keys are used to directly select a preset program from within a bank.

In Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode, these keys are used as shortcuts to select parameters (p.16).

Be sure that the power is off before you make any connections. Improper use can damage your speaker system etc., or may cause a malfunction.

1. Power cable connections Connect the included power cable to the AC power inlet of the CX-3, and then plug the other end of the cable into an AC outlet.

2. OUTPUT jack connections Connect powered monitors, keyboard amps, or your audio system to output the sound of the CX-3.

If you connect the CX-3 to a stereo audio amp, high- volume playing may damage your speaker system. Be careful not to raise the volume excessively.

Connect the OUTPUT L, R jacks to the INPUT jacks of your powered monitors etc.

When connecting in stereo, use the L and R jacks. When connecting in mono, use the L jack. We recom- mend that you use stereo connections whenever possible.

3. Pedal connections

EXPRESSION PEDAL jack You can connect the included expression pedal to this jack, and use it to control the volume in the same way as when using the front panel [EXPRESSION/ OVERDRIVE] knob. The Global mode Exp Ctrl parameter setting specifies whether the volume will

be controlled by the [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob, the expression pedal, or both. Alternatively, you can connect a separately sold EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expression/volume pedal to this jack. In this case, the operating range of the pedal may be different, so you will need to adjust the sensitivity of the expression pedal (p.36).

ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jacks You can connect a separately sold Korg PS-1 pedal switch to these jacks, and use them to switch the rotary speaker effect or vibrato/chorus effect on/off, or to select programs. Alternatively, you can connect a separately sold EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expression/volume pedal to these jacks and use it to adjust the reverb or the amp gain.

The Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode parameters specify the function(s) that will be controlled by a pedal connected to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jack. You may assign more than one function to a single pedal.

4. MIDI connections MIDI connections allow you to use the keyboard and controllers (drawbars etc.) of the CX-3 to control an external MIDI tone generator, or use another MIDI keyboard or sequencer to play the tone generator of the CX-3.

Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI connector of the CX-3 to the MIDI connector of the external MIDI device. For details refer to 2. MIDI applications (p.37).

3. Play the keyboard. You will hear the sound specified by the Drawbar 1 and EX Drawbar settings of the EX DRAWBAR & PERCUSSION parameters.

If you are using the Split function, the notes to the right of the split point will be the upper keyboard, and the notes to the left of (and including) the split point will be the lower keyboard.

The [DRAWBAR PRESET] key will automatically be selected for the lower keyboard, and the lower keyboard will play the EX LOWER parameter settings of the program.

Since you can assign a separate MIDI channel to the upper and lower keyboards, you can connect an external MIDI keyboard to the CX-3 and use the external MIDI keyboard to play the CX-3's lower keyboard sound.

Play using Drawbar 1 and 2 We will use both Drawbar 1 and 2 of the front panel. The EX mode footage and percussion settings are assigned to Drawbar 2, letting you create richer and more expressive sounds than in Normal mode.

1. In EX mode, press the [DRAWBAR 1] or [DRAW- BAR 2] key of the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section. Notice that the LEDs of the two keys are lit.

2. While you play the keyboard, create the desired sound by pulling out the Drawbar 1 and 2 bars of the front panel. Drawbar 1 will adjust the volume of the footage printed on each bar.

For Drawbar 2, the EX Drawbars (the four bars at the left) will adjust the volume of the corresponding footage, and the EX Percussion (the five bars at the right) will adjust the volume of the corresponding percussion sound.

These bars are assigned as follows.

If you want to check the footage that is assigned to each bar, use EX Edit mode to check which type is used, and use Global mode to check the settings for each.

EX Percussion 2-2/3': 2-2/3' is assigned when the PERCUSSION section [3rd] key LED is lit, and 4' is assigned when the LED is dark. 2': 16' is assigned. 1-3/5': 5-1/3' is assigned. 1/1-3': The footage assigned to the 16' EX Drawbar is assigned. However, EX Drawbar 16' is assigned a footage by the EX Edit mode Ex Drawbar Type parameter, as described above. If you want to check the footage that is actually assigned to this bar, use EX Edit mode to check which type is used, and use Global mode to check the settings for each. 1': The footage assigned to the 5-1/3' EX Drawbar is assigned. However, 5-1/3' of Drawbar 2 is assigned a footage by the EX Edit mode parameter Ex Drawbar Type, as described above. If you want to check the footage that is actually assigned to this bar, use EX Edit mode to check which type is used, and use Global mode to check the settings for each.

3. Selecting a different program. Use the [-] [+] keys to select the bank, and the PRO- GRAM [1][8] keys to select the number.

When you select a different program, the program parameters other than the drawbar settings will be recalled and assigned to the sound.

If you are using the Split function, the notes to the right of the split point will be the upper keyboard, and the notes to the left of (and including) the split point will be the lower keyboard.

The lower [DRAWBAR PRESET] key will automati- cally be selected (no other selection will be possible), and the lower keyboard will play the EX LOWER parameter settings of the program. If you want to change the tone of the lower keyboard while you play, you will need to create several different programs with the desired drawbar settings before- hand, and switch these programs while you play.

If you want to change the preset drawbar settings, edit the parameters in EX Edit mode. For details, refer to Editing the drawbar parameters (p.22).

4. Split function You can divide the CX-3's keyboard into upper and lower areas to play the UPPER and LOWER tone generators independently, giving you possibilities similar to when playing an actual two-manual instrument.

1. Press the [SPLIT] key. The key LED will light.

The keyboard will be divided at the split point that is set for each program. The right side will be the upper keyboard, and the left side will be the lower keyboard. The split point will be the highest note of the lower keyboard.

If you want to change the split point, edit the Group 7 Split Point parameter.

2. In the DRAWBAR SELECT section, select the settings for the upper and lower keyboards. However in EX mode, [DRAWBAR PRESET] will automatically be selected for the lower keyboard. Make sure that the LED of the corresponding key is lit.

In Normal mode, you can press the [DRAWBAR 1] key and use the front panel Drawbar 1 bars to create the sound for each keyboard, or press the [DRAWBAR 2] key and use the Drawbar 2 bars.

If you select the [DRAWBAR 2] key for upper, you can use the keys of the front panel PERCUSSION section to add percussion.

If you press the [DRAWBAR PRESET] key, you can play using the drawbar settings of the program. In this case if you want to add percussion, set the Normal Edit mode Group 2 DB Preset's Perc parameter to Ena.

In EX mode, you are free to make a selection for upper, but the [DRAWBAR PRESET] key will auto- matically be selected for lower, and this cannot be changed. The lower keyboard will use the EX LOWER parameter settings of the program.

3. While you play the keyboard, operate the bars of the front panel to adjust the sound.

The range of the upper keyboard and lower key- board can be changed by the Normal Edit mode Group 7 Split Upper Octave parameter and Split Lower Octave parameter.

This indicates that the DB Preset's Perc parameter is set to Ena (Enable). If this is set to Ena, you can use percussion in the upper keyboard if [DRAWBAR PRESET] is selected for the upper keyboard in Normal mode. For details, refer to 4. Percussion (p.18).

Shortcuts Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode contain numerous parameters and detailed settings. In each mode, related parameters are organized into eight groups (Group 1Group 8).

After entering a mode, you can access a parameter by pressing the [ ] or [] keys to step through the param- eters one by one, but if you know the group that contains the desired parameter, it is convenient to use a shortcut key.

After you enter Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, or Global mode, press one of the PROGRAM [1][8] keys and the first parameter in that group will appear in the display. Press the [ ] or [] keys to view the preceding or following parameter.

When you press one of the PROGRAM [1][8] keys, the group name corresponding to that key will appear in the display.

The functions in each group are described below.

Normal Edit Mode / EX Edit Mode Group 1: Specifies the output level, tone wheel

noise, click level etc. Group 2: Specifies the drawbar levels and EX

drawbar type. Group 3: Specifies how the CX-3 will respond to the

PERCUSSION section controls. Group 4: Specifies amp settings. Group 5: Adjusts reverb settings. Group 6: Specifies rotary speaker settings. Group 7: Specify the Split setting, the function of the

pedals etc. connected to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/ SW jacks, and what will happen when MIDI control change Modulation Wheel messages are received.

Group 8: Edits the program name.

Global Mode Group 1: Specifies the master tuning, the expression

pedal function, the pedal switch function, the pitch bend range, and the keyboard triggering type etc.

Group 2: Specifies the MIDI channels. Group 3: Set MIDI filtering and Local on/off. Group 4: Specifies the MIDI control change numbers

that will be used to transmit and receive drawbar settings.

Group 5: Specifies the MIDI control change numbers that will be assigned to the front panel keys, and to connected pedals.

Group 6: Specifies the EX drawbar types. Group 7: Copy, swap, or initialize programs, execute

a data dump, make settings for the DRAWBAR

SELECT section, calibrate a connected pedal, and adjust the settings for the wheel break function.

Group 8: Use this parameter to play the demo songs.

Normal Edit mode / EX Edit mode The contents of the display will depend on which param- eters of which group were displayed when you press the [DISPLAY] key. The following information is displayed when you press the [DISPLAY] key.

Group 1: The program name will be displayed. Group 2 UPPER, LOWER, EX DRAWBAR &

PERCUSSION, EX LOWER parameters: Drawbar levels will be shown numerically. DB Preset's Perc parameter: The program name will be displayed. EX Drawbar Type parameter: The EX Drawbar settings will be shown numerically.

Group 3: The program name will be displayed. Group 4: The program name will be displayed. Group 5: The program name will be displayed. Group 6: The program name will be displayed. Group 7 parameters to which a controller is as-

signed: The assigned controller will be displayed. If two or more controllers are assigned, they will be successively displayed each time you press the [DISPLAY] key. Other parameters: The program name will be displayed.

Group 8: The program name will be displayed.

Global mode The following information is displayed when you press the [DISPLAY] key.

Groups 13, 8: The display will not change when you press the [DISPLAY] key.

Groups 4, 5: The selected CC# and controller name will be displayed. If the CC# had been blinking before you pressed the [DISPLAY] key, this means that another controller has already been assigned to that number. If you press the [DISPLAY] key while this is blinking, the assigned controller name will be displayed each time you press the key.

Group 6: When you press the [DISPLAY] key, the four values of the currently selected EX Drawbar type (set by the Ex Drawbar Type parameter) will be displayed.

Group 7 Program Mapper parameter: The pro- gram number and program name corresponding to the currently-shown MIDI program number will be displayed. If the MIDI program number had been blinking before you pressed the [DISPLAY] key, this means that a program has already been assigned to that number. If you press the [DISPLAY] key while this is blinking, the assigned program name will be displayed each time you press the key. Copy, Swap, Init parameters: If you press the [DISPLAY] key when the Speaker icon is displayed, the name of the program marked by the icon will be displayed. MIDI Dump parameter: If you press the [DIS- PLAY] key when dumping one program, the name of the program being dumped will be displayed. Other parameters: The display will not change.

2. About the programs The CX-3 contains 128 preset programs (64 for Normal mode, and 64 for EX mode). In both Normal mode and EX mode, the programs are organized into banks AH, with eight programs in each bank.

How a program is structured A preset program consists of the following four types of setting.

1) Organ sound settings (tone wheel selection, etc.) 2) Drawbar parameter settings 3) Effect settings 4) Front panel key settings

Each program contains its own settings. When you switch programs, the parameter settings of the selected program will be used.

The drawbar parameter settings saved within each program are used if [DRAWBAR PRESET] is selected in the front panel DRAWBAR SELECT section. If you have selected either [DRAWBAR 1] or [DRAWBAR 2] in the DRAWBAR SECTION, the front panel Drawbar 1 or Drawbar 2 settings will be used.

The front panel key settings saved within each program are used if the Global mode Group 1 Prg.Chng param- eter is set to All Params. If the Prg.Chng parameter is set to Int. Params, the state of the front panel keys will be used, meaning that the state of the front panel keys will not change when you switch programs.

3. Restoring the factory settings

The CX-3 lets you re-initialize either the programs or the Global parameters back to their original factory settings. Use this procedure if you have accidentally overwritten a preset program, or want to return to the original factory settings. Initialization can be performed on the following four types of data:

One program All programs Global parameters All program parameters and Global parameters

Restoring the factory settings will erase any edits or changes you may have made to the data.

7. Press the [EXIT] key twice to return to the previ- ous mode.

4. Percussion When playing the upper keyboard, you can use the front panel PERCUSSION keys and drawbars to add percus- sion.

Percussion adds an attack to the beginning of the note, making the sound more crisp. However when you play legato, percussion will apply only to the first-played note.

Normal mode 1. In the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section, press the

[DRAWBAR 2] key or [PRESET DRAWBAR] key.

or

2. In the PERCUSSION section, press the [ON] key. The key LED will light.

3. Press the [FAST] key. When the key LED is lit, the percussion will decay more quickly. When the key LED is dark, the percus- sion will decay more slowly.

4. Press the [SOFT] key. The volume of the percussion will decrease when the key LED is lit, and will return to normal when the key LED goes dark.

The changes that occur when you press the keys of the PERCUSSION section can be specified in Normal Edit mode Group 3, and stored independently for each program.

For these parameters, you can specify the following. The volume for Soft and Normal settings The decay speed for Fast and Slow settings

If percussion is not added when you operate the keys of the PERCUSSION section, make sure that the [PRESET DRAWBAR] key is selected. If percussion is still not added, use the following procedure to check the DB Preset's Perc parameter.

Checking the DB Preset's Perc parameter

1. Make sure that the display shows the name of a Normal program. If the display does not show the program name, press the [DISPLAY] key several times.

2. Press the [DISPLAY] key once, and check whether the Percussion icon is shown at the left of UPPER in the display.

If the Percussion icon is displayed, operate the keys of the PERCUSSION section while you play the upper keyboard. If the Percussion icon is not displayed, proceed to step 3.

Basic functions

19

Since the DB Preset's Perc parameter is set inde- pendently for each program, you will have to check each program to see whether percussion can be used for that program.

3. Press the [EDIT] key. You will enter Normal Edit mode.

4. Press the PROGRAM [2] key, and then press the [] key twice. The DB Preset's Perc parameter will appear.

5. Press the [+] key once to change the setting to Ena (Enable).

6. Press the [EXIT] key to return to Normal mode.

7. Now you can assign the PERCUSSION section to the upper keyboard.

EX mode Regardless of the settings of the DRAWBAR SELECT section, you can also use the front panel PERCUSSION SECTION keys to add percussion to the upper keyboard.

1. In the PERCUSSION section, press the [ON] key. The key LED will light. The PERCUSSION effect is now on.

2. Press the [FAST] key. When the key LED is lit, the percussion will decay more quickly. When the key LED is dark, the percus- sion will decay more slowly.

3. Press the [SOFT] key. The volume of the percussion will decrease when the key LED is lit, and will return to normal when the key LED goes dark.

The values for these percussion controls can be accessed in EX Edit mode Group 3, and may be stored independently for each program.

For these parameters, you can specify the following. The volume for Soft and Normal settings The decay speed for Fast and Slow settings

EX Percussion in Drawbar 2 If the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section [DRAWBAR 2] key is selected, the percussion can be adjusted by the front panel Drawbar 2 bars as well as by the front panel PERCUSSION section keys.

EX Percussion (the five right bars of Drawbar 2) controls the percussion levels assigned to these bars. For details, refer to Using the Drawbar 1 and 2 settings (p.13).

2-2/3': 2-2/3' or 4' (depending on the setting of the PERCUSSION section [3rd] key)

2': 16' 1-3/5': 5-1/3' 1-1/3': The footage assigned to EX Drawbar 16' 1': The footage assigned to EX Drawbar 5-1/3'

5. Rotary The ROTARY Speaker section replicates the sound of the classic rotating drum and horn speaker system associated with the tone wheel organ. Controls are available to simulate different amplification and microphone place- ment.

1. In the front panel ROTARY section, press the [ON] key. The key LED will light.

If when you press the ROTARY section [ON] key, the LED blinks three times and then goes dark, the program's Amp Type parameter (Group 4 of Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode) has been set to Pre Amp. With this setting, the rotary speaker effect cannot be obtained. Either select another program, or change the setting of the Amp Type parameter.

Even if the Amp Type parameter is set to Pre Amp, you can select the ROTARY section [STOP] key and [FAST] key. We recommend that you use the [STOP] key and [FAST] key to pre-select the settings you want for the next time you select a Type 1 or Type 2 program.

2. Use the [FAST] key and [STOP] key to control the rotation of the rotary speaker. To switch between fast and slow, make the [STOP] key LED go dark, and operate the [FAST] key. When you press the [FAST] key to make the LED light, the rotary speaker will turn rapidly. When you make the LED go dark, the rotary speaker will turn slowly.

To switch between fast and stopped, make the [STOP] key LED light, and operate the [FAST] key. When you press the [FAST] key to make the LED light, the rotary speaker will turn rapidly. When you make the LED go dark, the rotary speaker will stop turning.

To switch between slow and stopped, make the [FAST] key LED go dark, and operate the [STOP] key. When you press the [STOP] key to make the LED light, the rotary speaker will stop turning. When you make the LED go dark, the rotary speaker will turn slowly.

Rotary speaker settings are made in Group 6 of Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode, and are saved as part of each program.

The following rotary speaker parameters can be adjusted. Volume balance between the horn and rotor of the

rotary speaker Slow and fast rotational speeds of the horn and

rotor Transition time from slow to fast, and from fast to

slow, for the horn and rotor Time from when the rotation of the horn and rotor is

stopped until it actually comes to a stop, and the time from when rotation is started until it reaches the specified speed

The distances from the horn and rotor to the mic The spread of the sound from the horn and rotor

6. Effects

Reverb You can use the front panel [REVERB OFFSET] knob to adjust the depth of reverb.

1. While you play, turn the [REVERB OFFSET] knob. When the knob is in the center position, the reverb depth will be as specified by the program.

Reverb settings are made in Group 5 of Normal Edit mode and EX Edit mode, and are saved as part of each program.

The following reverb parameters can be adjusted. Reverb type Reverb time Reverb amount Reverb routing

Vibrato and chorus You can use the front panel VIBRATO/CHORUS section to apply vibrato or chorus to the sound.

1. While you play, use the VIBRATO/CHORUS section [UPPER] key or [LOWER] key to select the keyboard(s) to which the effect will be applied.

2. Use the [VIBRATO/CHORUS] knob to select vibrato or chorus. V1V3 are vibrato, and C1C3 are chorus. Higher numbers will produce a greater effect.

Overdrive You can use the front panel [EXPRESSION/OVER- DRIVE] knob to adjust the amount of overdrive. This will also affect the volume.

1. While you play, turn the [EXPRESSION/OVER- DRIVE] knob. This will adjust the output level of the tone generator, changing the input level of the internal amp simula- tion.

By using this in conjunction with the Amp Gain parameter (p.27) in Group 4 of Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode, you can make further adjustments to the overdrive effect.

7. Saving your data Program parameter settings and Global parameter settings of the CX-3 can be saved by writing a program or transmitting a MIDI data dump.

Writing to internal memory

Writing a program A program that you created by editing the parameters in either of the Edit modes can be saved in internal memory. This is referred to as writing a program. If you want the program you edited to be preserved even when the power is turned off, you must write it into memory.

When you select a program, the program data is called into an internal edit buffer.

When you edit program parameters in Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode, you are making changes to the data in the edit buffer. When you make changes to this data, an will appear between the program number and program name.

Since your editing will only affect the data in the edit buffer, you must write this data into internal memory if you want to keep it.

If you select another program before writing the edited program, new data will be called into the edit buffer, and your changes will be lost. The data in the edit buffer will also be lost when you turn off the power. If this occurs, the data prior to your editing will be recalled the next time the power is turned on.

Writing procedure

Swap (Swap Program) This lets you exchange two specified programs. For details, refer to Swapping two programs (p.23).

Init (Initialize) This lets you return program or global settings to the factory settings. For details, refer to 3. Restoring the factory settings (p.17).

Dump (MIDI Dump) For details, refer to MIDI data dump (p.38).

Dump Program Dumps the data for one specified program.

Dump All Program Dumps the data for all programs.

Dump Global Dumps the global data.

Dump All Data (Dump All Programs and Global data) Dumps the data for all programs and global data.

Drawbar Scan When the CX-3 receives MIDI control changes, the drawbar registers will be modified, so that the sound may no longer match the physical settings of the front panel Drawbar 1 and 2 bars. When you execute Drawbar Scan, CX-3 will re-read the actual physical position of the Drawbar 1 and 2 settings, and their values will be set in the drawbar registers. Execute this when you want the settings of Drawbar 1 and 2 to be reflected in the sound. Since the control changes for all drawbars will be transmitted via MIDI when Drawbar Scan is executed, this is convenient when you want to record a CX-3 performance on your se- quencer.

2. MIDI applications

About MIDI MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard that allows various perfor- mance-related data to be exchange between electronic musical instruments and computers. If a MIDI cable is used to connect MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged even between electronic musical instruments or computers made by different manufacturers.

Connecting an external MIDI sequencer or computer If you want to play the keyboard of the CX-3 and record your playing on an external MIDI sequencer/computer (connected via a MIDI interface) while using the CX-3s tone generator to monitor your performance and the playback, or if you want to use the CX-3 as a n input keyboard and as a MIDI tone generator, connect the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors of the CX-3 and the exter- nal MIDI sequencer/computer to each other respectively.

1. How the drawbars work Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2 each consist of a set of nine bars.

In Normal mode and Normal Edit mode, these bars have the following functions.

16': The pitch one octave below the note you play 5-1/3':The pitch a fifth above the note you play 8': The pitch of the note you play 4': The pitch one octave above the note you play 2-2/3':The pitch one octave and a fifth above the note

you play 2': The pitch two octaves above the note you play 1-3/5':The pitch two octaves and a third above the

note you play 1-1/3':The pitch two octaves and a fifth above the

note you play 1': The pitch three octaves above the note you

play

The white drawbars (8', 4', 2', 1') produce fundamentals. The black drawbars (2-2/3', 1-3/5', 1-1/3') produce pitches that are a fifth or a third above these fundamental pitches. The brown drawbars (16' and 5-1/3') add depth to the tone.

Pulling out the four right bars to a greater extent will produce a harder-toned sound, while pulling out the two left bars to a greater extent will produce a softer tone.

For example when you play middle C, each bar corre- sponds to the pitches shown in the diagram below. The further a bar is pulled out, the greater its volume will be.

For details on the function of the Drawbar 2 bars (EX Drawbar, EX Percussion) in EX mode and EX Edit mode, refer to the Drawbar 2 illustration (p.13), to the EX Edit mode Group 2 Ex Drawbar Type parameter, and to the Global mode Group 8 Type 1 Ex Drawbar 1 through Type 4 Ex Drawbar 4 parameters.

The CX-3 simulates 79 tone wheels that produce the notes from C2 to F#8, just as on traditional tone wheel organs. This means that if the drawbar settings could cause the pitch to exceed the range of C2 through F#8, the pitch will wrap around to the previous octave.

Local Control On setting

If you make connections as shown on the preceding page, you must turn on the Echo Back setting of the external MIDI sequencer or computer (so that the data it receives at MIDI IN will be retransmitted without change from MIDI OUT), and turn off the Local Control setting of the CX-3 (to disconnect the keyboard section from the tone generator section).

When you play the keyboard of the CX-3, the data will be sent to the external MIDI sequencer or computer, and will be echoed back to sound the tone generator of the CX-3. In other words by turning the CX-3s Local Control off, you can prevent notes from being sounded in duplicate; once from the keyboard and again from the echo-back.

To turn off Local Control, set the Global mode Group 4 MIDI Local Cntrl parameter to Off.

If you are using the CX-3 by itself, you must turn Local Control on. (If this is of, playing the CX-3s keyboard will produce no sound.)

Connecting a MIDI keyboard

If you want to connect an external MIDI keyboard to the CX-3's MIDI IN connector so that you can play the CX-3 as a two-manual instrument, turn the Global mode Group 3 MIDI IN to Lower parameter On.

Regardless of their channel, the incoming note messages will be handled as note messages for the lower keyboard. These incoming note messages will not only play the lower keyboard, but will also be transmitted via MIDI as note messages on the specified lower channel. This is the same operation as when the Merge Lower Message parameter is turned On. Also, all program changes and control changes received via MIDI will be ignored, and the Split function will not operate even if you press the [SPLIT] key.

If you want to use your connected external MIDI key- board to perform program changes and control the CX-3 panel keys, turn the MIDI IN to Lower parameter Off, and set the Global mode Group 2 MIDI Global ch parameter so that the global MIDI channel matches the transmit channel of your connected MIDI keyboard. MIDI control change numbers can be edited in Group 4 and 5.

If you are recording your CX-3 performance on a se- quencer, and want the state of all panel keys to be repro- duced, perform the following steps. Since Drawbar 1, 2, and DRA WBAR SELECT operations are not reproduced by a program change, use DRAWBAR SELECT to select the drawbar settings with which you will start your performance. Then execute the Global mode Group 7 Drawbar Scan parameter to transmit the state of Drawbar 1 and 2. Immediately after you begin recording, select the pro- gram that you will use for your performance, to transmit the corresponding program change.

When using a velocity-sensitive MIDI sound module

With the factory settings, the CX-3 is set to transmit note messages with a fixed velocity. If you are using a velocity-sensitive MIDI sound module, you will need to set the following parameters.

Set the Global mode Group 2 MIDI Upper 2nd ch and MIDI Lower 2nd ch parameters to other than Off. This will cause note messages with velocity to be transmitted on the specified MIDI channel.

However in this state, two sets of note messages (one with variable velocity, and another with fixed velocity) will be transmitted, so you should also set the Global mode Group 2 MIDI Upper Tx ch and MIDI Lower Tx ch parameters to Off, so that the fixed-velocity note messages will not be transmitted.

Alternatively, you could set MIDI Upper 2nd ch and MIDI Upper Tx ch, and MIDI Lower 2nd Tx Ch and MIDI Lower Tx Ch, to diferent channels so that they do not conflict, and then make settings on the connected MIDI sound module so that it receives the note messages with variable velocity.

If Global mode Group 1 Key Trigger is set to Shallow, the note message with fixed velocity will be transmitted when you have only pressed the key lightly. However, the note message with variable velocity will not be transmitted until you have pressed the key all the way. This means that if you have made settings to transmit note messages with variable velocity, it is possible for the CX-3 to produce sound without a note message being transmitted. In order to match the timing at which the CX-3 sounds with the timing at which your MIDI sound module will sound, set the Key Trigger parameter to Deep.

MIDI data dump Exclusive data (internal settings) can be transmitted from the CX-3 to a connected MIDI data filer or another CX-3.

Transmission While data is being transmitted, do not touch the keys, drawbars, or knobs of the CX-3. Also, never turn off the power of the CX-3 while data is being transmitted.

The following four types of data dump can be transmitted. Dump one program Dump all programs Dump global data Dump all data (programs and global data)

To transmit a data dump

1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the CX-3 to the MIDI IN connector of the device that will receive the data dump.

2. Enter Global mode. The key LED will light.

Appendices

leave a suf ficient interval of time between each data dump transmission.

Type of data Time required to write into memory 1 Program Approximately 1 second All Programs Approximately 7 seconds Global Data Approximately 1 second All Program + Global Data Approximately 7 seconds

To receive a data dump

1. Connect the MIDI IN connector of the CX-3 to the MIDI OUT connector of the device that will trans- mit the data dump.

2. Set the Global channel of the MIDI device to match the global MIDI channel of the CX-3. The global MIDI channel of the CX-3 is set by the Global mode Group 2 MIDI Global ch parameter.

When data transmitted to the MIDI device is to be sent back to the CX-3, you must set the global MIDI channel of the transmitting MIDI device to match the global MIDI channel of the CX-3. For details on how to set the MIDI channel of your MIDI device, refer to the owner's manual for your device.

3. Set the Global mode Group 3 MIDI Rx Sys Exc parameter to Ena.

4. Send the data from the transmitting device. For the procedure, refer to the owner's manual for your device.

If the MIDI Rx Sys Exc parameter is set to Ena, data dumps can be also received in Normal mode or EX mode.

5. When transmission has been completed, the display will indicate RxSysEx Completed. If the display indicates RxSysError, turn off the power, then hold down Program [2] and [7] keys and turn the power on. However, the contents of memory will be initialized at this time.

When receiving one program, the program data will be placed in the same mode as in which it was trans- mitted. At this time, the CX-3 will internally switch to the received mode, and when you press the [GLO- BAL] key or [EXIT] key to exit Global mode after the data dump has been received, you will be in that mode.

MIDI messages that the CX-3 transmits and receives

[...] indicates hexadecimal notation

MIDI channels

MIDI messages can be received if the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices match. There are sixteen MIDI channels; 116.

MIDI messages are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. The global MIDI channel is the basic channel for MIDI transmission and reception, and is set by the Global mode Group 2 MIDI Global Ch param- eter.

3. Press the PROGRAM [7] key, and then press the [] key twice. The display will indicate Dump.

4. Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key. The display will indicate Dump Program, and Program will blink.

5. Select the data that you want to dump. If you want to dump one program, press the [ ] key once, and then use the [-][+] keys to select the pro- gram.

The programs that will be dumped will be the pro- grams contained in the mode that was selected before you entered Global mode in step 2. If you want to dump Normal mode programs, enter Normal mode before you enter Global mode in step 2. If you want to dump EX mode programs, enter EX mode before you enter Global mode in step 2.

If you want to dump all programs, press the [+] key once. The display will indicate Dump All Programs, and All Programs will blink.

If you want to dump global data, press the [+] key twice. The display will indicate Dump Global, and Global will blink.

If you want to dump all data, press the [+] key three times. The display will indicate Dump All Data, and All Data will blink.

6. Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key. You will be asked to confirm the dump. If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] key .

7. Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key. While the data is being transmitted, the display will indicate TxSysEx Processing... The following table shows the data sizes and the time required for transmission.

Type of data Data size Time required 1 Program 153 Byte 1 second All Programs 18.3 kByte 12 seconds Global Data 300 Byte 1 second All Program + Global Data 18.6 kByte 12 seconds

If you are saving dump data on a MIDI data filer, do not save multiple data dumps together. If you save multiple dumps together, the CX-3 will not have enough time to process the received data (see the table below), and will not be able to receive all of the data correctly.

Reception While data is being received, do not touch the keys, drawbars, or knobs of the CX-3. Also, never turn off the power of the CX-3 while data is being received.

While dump data is being received, the CX-3's display will indicate RxSysEx Processing... Never turn off the power of the CX-3 during this time. If the power is turned of , the CX-3 may fail to operate correctly when the power is turned on again. If this occurs, hold down the Program [2] and [7] keys and turn on the power. However, this will initialize the contents of memory.

MIDI cannot be transmitted or received while data is being written into memory. If you want the CX-3 to receive multiple data dumps in succession, you must

Note-on/off

Note-on [9n, kk, vv] Note-off [8n, kk, vv]

(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)

Each time you press or release a note on its keyboard, the CX-3 will transmit a note-on or note-of message.

Very few devices transmit note-off velocity, and the CX-3 does not transmit note-off velocity either.

Program change / Bank select

Changing the program / bank

Program change [Cn, pp] (n: channel, pp: program number that selects from up to 128 sounds)

Programs 000127 in banks AH corr espond to program changes [Cn, 00][Cn, 7F].

Pitch bend

Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm] (n: channel, bb: lower byte of value, mm: upper byte of value, together indicating a value of 16384 steps where 8192 [bb, mm=00H, 40H] is the center value)

The CX-3 can transmit pitch bend changes. When it receives pitch bend changes, a pitch bend ef fect will be applied. The range in which pitch bend will occur can be specified by the Global mode Group 3 MIDI P. Bend Range parameter.

Control change

[Bn, cc, vv] (n: channel, cc: control change number , vv: value)

Control changes can be turned on/off by the Global mode Group 4 MIDI Rx C. Change parameter .

To silence all notes

All Note Off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00] (value is 00) When this message is received, all currently-sounding notes will be turned of (as though all keys were re- leased). However, any decay of the notes will remain.

All Sound Off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00] (value is 00) When this message is received, all sound currently being produced will be silenced. While the All Note Of mes- sage allows the decay of the notes to remain, All Sound Off causes the sound to be silenced immediately .

However, these messages are intended for use in emer- gency situations, and are not used during a performance.

To reset all controllers

Reset All Controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00] (value is 00) When this message is received, the values of all currently- operating controllers will be reset.

About system exclusive messages Since system exclusive messages can be used by each manufacturer as they wish, these messages are used mainly to transmit or receive sound data or editing data for parameters that are specific to a particular device. The system exclusive message format for the CX-3 is [F0, 42, 3n, 5B, f f, ... , F7].

F0: Exclusive status 42: Korg ID 3n: [n=0F] Global MIDI channel 116 5B: CX-3 model ID ff: Function ID (type of message) F7: End of exclusive

Each CX-3 uses the same model ID, so that exclusive data can be exchanged between dif ferent CX-3 units.

To obtain copy of the MIDI Implementation which includes MIDI exclusive format information, please contact your Korg distributor.

Universal system exclusive Some system exclusive messages have of ficially defined uses; these are called universal system exclusive mes- sages.

Of the universal system exclusive messages, the CX-3 uses the following Inquiry messages.

Inquiry Message Request [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 01, F7] Inquiry Message [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 02, (nine bytes), F7] When an Inquiry Message Request is received, the CX-3 will transmit an Inquiry Message with content that signifies I am a Korg CX-3, system version ...

Transmitting sound settings and other data (Data Dump) Program and global settings can be transmitted as MIDI exclusive messages. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive messages to an external device is called Data Dump.

By performing a data dump, you can save sound settings or other types of data on an external device, or change the sounds or settings on another CX-3.

The CX-3 uses the following three types of data dump. Dump All Pr ogram, Dump Global, or Dump All

Prog+Global transmits or receives internal memory data. When the CX-3 receives one of these data dumps, the data is written directly into internal memory; it is not necessary for you to perform the Write operation.

Dump Program transmits or receives data for the program in the edit buf fer. When the CX-3 receives one of these data dumps, the data is written into the edit bufer, so if you wish to save it in internal memory you must perform the Write operation. The Write operation can be per- formed on the CX-3 (refer to p.20 Writing a pro- gram), or by using a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request.

Appendices

41

In Global mode, a data dump can be performed when the Dump Program, Dump All Pr ogram, Dump Global, or Dump All Pr og+Global commands are displayed. A data dump will also be transmitted when a dump request is received if the MIDI Rx Sys Exc parameter is set to Ena. Data that is received by Dump Program can be written into internal memory by a Write Request.

If notes are stuck If a note is stuck and fails to turn off, press and hold the [EXIT] key for approximately one second.

4. Troubleshooting Power does not turn on

Is the power cable connected to an outlet? Check the connection. .................................... (see p.10)

Is the power switch turned ON? Check the on/of setting of the power switch.

No sound Are the connected devices or headphones connected

correctly? Check the connections. .................................. (see p.10)

Are your amp and/or mixer turned on? Is the [MASTER LEVEL] knob turned up? Is the Global mode Group 3 Local Control parameter

turned On? Check the parameter settings.

Are the Drawbar 1 and 2 bars pulled out? Pull out the bars.

Sound does not change when you move Drawbar 1 or 2 bars

Is the DRAWBAR SELECT section set correctly? If you want to play using the bars, select the [DRAW- BAR 1] key or [DRAWBAR 2] key in the DRAWBAR SELECT section. ....................................... (see p.12, 13)

Percussion does not sound Ar e the settings of the DRAWBAR SELECT section

correct? If you want to use the PERCUSSION section keys, select the [DRAWBAR 2] key in the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section. ............................................. (see p.18)

Is the Normal Edit mode DB Preset's Perc parameter set to Enable (Ena)? Check the parameter setting. ......................... (see p.18)

Are the percussion-related parameters set correctly? The Normal Edit mode Percussion Nrml Level parameter value plus the Percussion Soft Off parameter value will be the level of the soft percus- sion. If this is zero or less, the percussion will not be heard when Soft is selected. ........................... (see p.26)

Rotary speaker effect cannot be obtained Is the amp selection correct?

For the Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode Group 4 Amp Type parameter, select either Type 1 or Type 2. The rotary speaker will not be used if you select Pre Amp. .............................................................. (see p.19)

The CX-3 does not response to incoming MIDI messages

Is the MIDI cable connected correctly? Check the connection. .................................... (see p.10)

Does the MIDI channel match? Check the setting.

The CX-3 does not respond correctly to incoming MIDI messages

If you want to receive MIDI exclusive messages, is the MIDI Rx Sys Exc parameter set to Enable (Ena)? Check the parameter setting.

Does the CX-3 support the message that is being transmitted?

Pedal switch or expression pedal connected to the rear panel does not operate as you intend

Is Pedal 1 or Pedal 2 selected for the Global mode Group 1 Prog Up Ctrl or Prog Down Ctrl param- eter? It is possible to assign more than one function to a pedal switch or expression pedal. However if a pedal switch etc. is selected by the Global mode Group 1 Prog Up Ctrl or Prog Down Ctrl parameter, the Global mode setting will take priority, and the Normal Edit mode and EX Edit mode settings will not be used. Please check the settings of these parameters.

An external MIDI device acts in unexpected ways when connected to the CX-3

Is there a CC# conflict? Most operations of the CX-3's front panel keys and drawbars etc. can be transmitted as CC# (control change number) messages, and with the factory settings, control changes that differ from those used by typical MIDI devices are assigned. This means that when another device is connected to the CX-3 via MIDI, the control changes of the CX-3 may coincide with difering functions on the external MIDI device, causing it to operate in unexpected ways. Check the control change related parameters in Global mode Group 4 and 5, and turn unneeded parameters off or change their control change number.

5. Operation of included Expression pedal

Fortissimo function This allows you to selectively emphasise parts of your performance. As shown in the diagram, the pedal angle is 30 when fully raised. The pedal will rest at any point you take your foot of from fully raised to standard position. If you depress the pedal further from standard position, it will return to standard position when you take your foot off. Also, by adjusting the screw on the bottom, you may adjust the spring return range from 010 .
