Virtual KORG CX-3

    There are 2 versions of the Korg CX-3. The first from the 1970s was used by the Rolling Stones. I bought one based on that fact, and it served me well for years. It did not have MIDI, but there were 2 versions: the single manual CX-3 and the dual manual BX-3, which I saw once in Chicago in the late 1990’s. I ended up selling the old CX-3 because I wanted MIDI, and years later ended up with the newer model CX-3. It offered some non-realistic B3 voicings that were interesting, and the display was much nicer than the display-free first version. I did not feel that it had the proper “crunch” of distortion so I kept my Roland VK-8 instead.

      I have the two manual BX-3 (the later digital one). I turned off the Leslie sim, and ran the instrument into a physical rotary speaker. I got the sound I needed out of it. I didn’t use the EX mode much but it could be nice if trying to copy the extra tonewheels that the H and X Series Hammond had.
