Main features

The CX-3 contains a newly developed tone wheel organ

modeling tone generator that reproduces the distinctive sound

of a tone wheel organ.

technology is used to create spatial effects such as rotary,

chorus/ vibrato, and reverb, faithfully simulating the effects of a

combo organ. It creates the modulated sounds produced by the

turning rotor and horn, the natural overdrive, and chorus/

vibrato to produce an authentic sense of presence. The CX-3 is

all you need to enjoy real organ sound.

By operating the two sets of drawbars on the front panel, you

can modify the sound in realtime while you play. In Normal

mode, the sound is created using one set of these drawbars. In

EX mode, the sound is created using both sets of drawbars. In

EX mode, you can use the drawbars to control percussion,

creating new sounds that could not be produced before.

A conventional keyboard will not sound until you depress the

key all the way; however the CX-3 will sound when a key is

even slightly depressed. This allows more rapid response, and

ensures precise glissandi and trills.

DRAWBAR 1, 2

DRAWBAR PRESET

The CX-3 lets you produce the percussive “clunk” sound that is

characteristic of tone wheel organs. You can also make settings

so that a key click is heard when you press and release a key,

creating the sense of attack that is distinctive on these organs.

128 programs are built-in (Normal mode: 64, EX mode: 64),

allowing you to enjoy a variety of organ sounds.

Program

MIDI CC#

The CX-3 has two tone generators, the Upper tone generator

and the Lower tone generator. In Normal mode, you can use

both the upper and the lower tone generator. In EX mode, you

can use only the Upper tone generator.

In Normal mode, you can use the Split function to divide the

keyboard into two areas, and play different sounds as though

you were using two keyboards.

If you do not use Split, the keyboard will use the Upper tone

generator. If you use Split, the right side of the keyboard will

use the Upper tone generator, and the left side will use the

Lower tone generator.

The Upper and Lower tone generators can be assigned

separate MIDI channels, so that either tone generator can be

used from an external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI

connector.

The modes of the CX-3

Normal mode and EX mode

In these modes you can select and play programs.

The main differences between Normal mode and EX

mode are given below.

Normal mode

• The sound is created by one set of drawbars

• The Upper tone generator and Lower tone generator

can be used

To create its sound, the CX-3 uses the Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2

sets on its front panel, and the drawbars specified by each

program. Drawbar settings can also be set via MIDI.

• The keyboard can be split

EX mode

By using the keys of the DRAWBAR SELECT section you can

use the drawbar settings that you wish. (Refer to the diagram.)

• The sound is created by two sets of drawbars

• The Upper tone generator is used

Normal Edit mode and EX Edit mode

Here you can edit the program parameters of Normal

mode or EX mode.

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 instrument

bodies, speakers & cabinets, acoustic fields, microphones,

vacuum tubes, transistors, etc.

Global mode

Here you can make settings that affect the entire CX-3,

such as master tune, transpose, and global MIDI

channel.

2. About programs

3. Playing the CX-3

The CX-3 has 128 preset programs (64 for Normal mode,

and 64 for EX mode).

Play using the drawbars

In each mode, the programs are organized as banks A–H,

with eight programs in each bank.

Normal mode

As an example, here’s how to play using front panel

Drawbar 2.

How a program is organized

A preset program consists of the following four types of

settings.

We will play the sound specified by Drawbar 2 across the

entire keyboard without splitting the keyboard.

1) Settings for the basic organ sound

2) Drawbar settings

3) Effect settings

1. Make sure that you are in Normal mode.

For details refer to the preceding section “Selecting

programs.”

4) Front panel key settings

Each program has its own independent settings. This

means that when you change programs, the settings of

the selected program will take effect.

2. In the DRAWBAR SELECT section, make sure that

the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2] key LED is lit.

If this key LED is dark, press the UPPER [DRAWBAR

2] key.

2) Drawbar settings are specified by each program as

parameters, but these settings will be used only if

[DRAWBAR PRESET] key is selected in the DRAWBAR

SELECT section.

If you select either [DRAWBAR 1] key or [DRAWBAR 2]

key in the DRAWBAR SELECT section, drawbar param-

eter settings will not be used; instead, the settings of the

front panel Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2 controls will be

used.

Now you can play the Upper tone generator using

front panel Drawbar 2 settings.

With the factory settings, the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2]

key and LOWER [DRAWBAR 1] key LEDs will be lit

when you turn on the power.

You can set the Global mode Group 7 “Default Db

Select” parameter to specify what will be selected in

the DRAWBAR SELECT section when the power is

turned on.

4) Front panel key settings are the Group 1 “Prg. Chng”

parameters of Global mode. If you select Int. Params, the

front panel key settings will be used without change even

when you switch programs.

Selecting a program

As an example, here’s how to select the Normal mode

program C-3 (program 3 of bank C)

1. Make sure that you are in Normal mode.

When you turn the power on, the CX-3 will automati-

cally be in Normal mode.

When the keyboard is not split, the Upper tone

generator will be used for the entire keyboard. In

this case, what you choose for the Lower tone

generator in the DRAWBAR SELECT section will

have no effect on the sound played from the CX-3’s

keyboard.

In Normal mode, the [EX MODE] key, [EDIT] key, and

[GLOBAL] key LEDs will be dark.

If the [EX MODE] key LED is lit, press the [EX MODE]

key once.

If the [EDIT] key or [GLOBAL] key LED is lit, either

press the lit key once or press the [EXIT] key.

2. Press the [+] key twice to select bank C.

Notice that C appears at the left side of the display.

3. Press the PROGRAM [3] key.

The C-3 program will be selected, and the display will

show the program number and program name.

To select an EX mode program, verify that you are in

Normal mode in step 1 and then press the [EX

MODE] key. Then perform steps 2 and 3.

Now you can continue to the section “3. Playing the

CX-3” that follows.

Basic operation

3. While playing the keyboard, pull out the various

bars of the front panel Drawbar 2 section to create

the desired sound.

EX mode

In EX mode you can use both the Drawbar 1 and 2

settings of the front panel. This means that you can create

more detailed sounds than in Normal mode.

If only the 8' (eight foot) drawbar of Drawbar 2 is

pulled out, only the pitch of the key you play will be

heard. The volume will depend on how far you pull

out the bar.

In EX mode you can use only the Upper tone

generator; you cannot split the keyboard or use a

connected external MIDI device to play the Lower

tone generator.

By pulling out other bars, you can add the pitches of

the corresponding feet. Create the desired sound by

combining bars in this way. For details on the sound

that is assigned to each bar, refer to “How the draw-

bars work” (p.27).

1. Press the [EX MODE] key to enter EX mode.

In EX mode, the [EX MODE] key LED will light, and

the [EDIT] key or [GLOBAL] key LEDs will be dark.

If the [EDIT] key or [GLOBAL] key LEDs are lit, press

the lit key once or press the [EXIT] key to make the

LED go dark.

4. Try selecting other programs.

Use the [+] and [–] keys to select the bank, and the

PROGRAM [1]–[8] keys to select the number.

When you switch programs, the program parameters

other than the drawbar settings will be reflected in the

sound.

2. In the DRAWBAR SELECT section, make sure that

the UPPER [DRAWBAR 1] key and UPPER [DRAW-

BAR 2] key LEDs are lit.

If the LEDs of these keys are not lit, press the UPPER

[DRAWBAR 1] key or the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2] key.

5. While you play, press the various keys of the

PERCUSSION section to add percussion.

When you add percussion to your performance, a

sense of attack will be added to the beginning of the

notes you play, producing a crisper sound.

Now you can play the Upper tone generator using

the Drawbar 1 and 2 settings of the front panel.

For details on percussion settings, refer to “Percus-

sion” (p.11).

If you play the keyboard legato, the percussion will

be added only to the first note you play.

You can also add vibrato, chorus, or rotary speaker

effects to your playing. For details refer to “4.

Applying effects to your playing” (p.11).

By pressing the UPPER [DRAWBAR 1] key in step 2

and using Drawbar 1 to create a different sound, you

can play the Drawbar 1 sound when you press the

UPPER [DRAWBAR 1] key and play the Drawbar 2

sound when you press the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2]

key.

3. While you play the keyboard, move the bars of the

front panel Drawbar 1 and 2 sections to create the

desired sound.

In this way, you can use the keys of the DRAWBAR

SELECT section to switch between different sets of

drawbars during a song or between songs.

The Drawbar 1 and the Drawbar 2 EX Drawbar bars

will adjust the volume of the corresponding feet.

The Drawbar 2 EX percussion bars will adjust the

volume of the corresponding percussion feet.

The following feet are assigned to the Drawbar 2 EX

Drawbar and EX Percussion.

1. How the drawbars work

2. MIDI applications

Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2 each consist of a set of nine

bars.

About MIDI

In Normal mode and Normal Edit mode, these bars have

the following functions.

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.

16':

The pitch one octave below the note you play

5-1/ 3': The pitch a fifth above the note you play

8':

4':

The pitch of the note you play

The pitch one octave above the note you play

2-2/ 3': The pitch one octave and a fifth above the note

you play

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-3’s

tone generator to monitor your performance and the

playback, or if you want to use the CX-3 as a input

keyboard and 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':

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.

Sequencer/Computer

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.

MIDI interface

MIDI OUT

MIDI IN

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.9), 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.

MIDI OUT

MIDI IN

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.

Middle C

Appendices

The CX-3 will sound even when you press a key

lightly. In other words on the CX-3, a note message

with fixed velocity will be transmitted when you

press a key lightly. However a note message with

velocity will not be transmitted until you press the

key all the way. This means that if you have made

settings to transmit note messages with velocity, there

may be cases in which a note message is not transmit-

ted even though the CX-3 has produced sound.

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 key-

board 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-3’s

Local Control off, you can prevent notes from being

sounded in duplicate; once from the keyboard and

again from the echo-back.

MIDI data dump

The CX-3 can transmit its internal settings to a connected

MIDI data filer or to another CX-3 as exclusive data.

Transmission

To turn off Local Control, set the Global mode Group 4

“MIDI Local” parameter to Off.

While data is being transmitted, do not touch the

CX-3’s keys, drawbars, or knobs, and never turn off

the power.

If you are using the CX-3 by itself, you must turn

Local Control on. (If this is off, playing the CX-3’s

keyboard will produce no sound.)

There are four types of data dump.

Dump Program: Dump data for one program.

Dump All Programs: Dump all program data.

Dump Global Parameter: Dump global data.

Dump All Programs and Global Parameter: Dump all

program data and global data.

Connecting a MIDI keyboard

If you wish to use the CX-3 in Normal mode, and use

a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector

to play the CX-3’s Lower tone generator, you will

need to set the following parameters.

Transmitting 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.

Set the transmit channel of your MIDI keyboard to

match the receive channel of the CX-3 (set by the

Global mode Group 2 “MIDI Lower Rx Ch” param-

eter). This allows your MIDI keyboard to be used as

the keyboard for the Lower tone generator.

2. Enter Global mode.

The key LED will light.

3. While holding down the PROGRAM [7] key, press

the [®] key six times.

If you also want to connect a sequencer, turn the

Global mode Group 4 “Merge Lower Message”

parameter On. Channel messages of the channel

specified by the “MIDI Lower Rx Ch” will be con-

verted into the channel specified by the “MIDI Lower

Tx Ch” parameter, and transmitted.

The display will indicate Dump Program.

When you select Dump Program, the number of the

program to be dumped will be shown in the square

brackets [ ] at the right of the display.

If you wish to change the program, use the [–]/ [+] keys.

The program transmitted here will be a program of

the mode that was last selected when you entered

Global mode in step 2. If you wish to dump a Normal

mode program, select Normal mode before entering

Global mode in step 2. Similarly, if you wish to dump

an EX mode program, select EX mode before entering

Global mode in step 2.

Using a MIDI tone generator with velocity

The CX-3 is set to transmit note messages (with fixed

velocity).

If you are using an external tone generator that is

velocity-sensitive, you will need to set the following

parameters.

After pressing the PROGRAM [7] key, you can press

the [®] from 6 to 9 times to select the following data

to dump.

Set the Group 2 “MIDI Upper 2nd Ch” and “MIDI

Lower 2nd Ch” parameters to a setting other than Off.

With this setting, note messages with velocity will be

transmitted on the specified MIDI channel.

4. Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key.

The display will ask you to confirm the dump opera-

tion.

As an alternative to the above setting, you can set the

“MIDI Upper 2nd Ch” and “MIDI Upper Tx Ch”

channel settings and the “MIDI Lower 2nd Ch” and

“MIDI Lower Tx Ch” channel settings so that they do

not conflict, and set the receive channel of the con-

nected MIDI device so that it can receive note mes-

sages with velocity.

5. If you wish to execute the dump, press the

[WRITE/ENTER] key.

5. When transmission is finished, the display will

indicate RxSysEx Completed.

To cancel the dump, press the [EXIT] key.

If the display indicates RxSysEx Error, turn the power

off. Then while holding down the Program [2] and [7]

keys, turn the power on again. However, this will

initialize the contents of memory.

While the data is being transmitted, the display will

indicate TxSysEx Processing...

The following table shows the size of each data dump

and the time it will require.

When the CX-3 receives data for one program, it will

enter the same mode (Normal mode or EX mode) in

which it was when that program was transmitted.

Since the CX-3 will switch to the received mode, you

will be in that mode when you press the [GLOBAL]

key or [EXIT] key to exit Global mode after receiving

the data dump.

If you save data dumps on a MIDI data filer, do not

save multiple dumps together. If you save multiple

dumps together, the CX-3 will not have enough time

to write the data into memory after receiving it (see

the section that follows), and the data will not all be

received.

MIDI messages that the CX-3

transmits and receives

[...] indicates hexadecimal notation

Reception

While data is being received, do not touch the CX-3’s

keys, drawbars, or knobs, and never turn off the power.

MIDI channels

MIDI messages can be received if the MIDI channels

of the transmitting and receiving devices match. There

are sixteen MIDI channels; 1–16.

When a data dump is received, the CX-3’s display

will indicate RxSysEx Processing... While this is

displayed, you must never turn off the power of the

CX-3. If you turn off the power, the CX-3 may not

function correctly the next time it 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 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” parameter.

While data is being written into memory, MIDI

transmission and reception will not occur. If you

want the CX-3 to receive multiple data dumps in

succession, you must allow a sufficient interval

between the transmitted data dumps.

Receiving 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.

Program change / Bank select

Changing the program / bank

2. Set the Global channel of the MIDI device to match

the global MIDI channel of the CX-3 (set by the

Global mode Group 2 “MIDI Global Ch” parameter).

If data that was previously transmitted to a MIDI

device is being re-transmitted back to the CX-3, set the

global MIDI channel of the CX-3 to the setting that

was used when transmitting the data.

Program change [Cn, pp]

(n: channel, pp: program number that selects from up

to 128 sounds)

• Programs 000–127 in banks A–H correspond to

program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].

Bank select MSB (CC#...) [Bn, 00, mm],

Bank select LSB (CC#...) [Bn, 20, bb]

(n: channel, mm: upper byte of bank number, bb:

lower byte of bank number)

For details on setting the MIDI channel for transmission,

refer to the owner’s manual of the device you are using.

3. Set the Global mode Group 4 “MIDI Rx Sys Exc”

parameter to Ena.

The program or bank will not change immediately

when a bank select message is received. The program

and bank will change only when a program change

message is subsequently received.

4. Send the data dump from the transmitting device.

Refer to the owner ’s manual for your device and

transmit the data.

If the “MIDI Rx Sys Exc” parameter is set to Ena,

data dumps can be received in either Normal mode

or EX mode.

Appendices

• Program change and bank select messages are trans-

mitted and received on the global MIDI channel.

Program changes can be turned on/ off by the Global

mode Group 4 “MIDI Rx Prg Chng” parameter.

Each CX-3 uses the same model ID, so that exclusive

data can be exchanged between different CX-3 units.

To obtain copy of the “MIDI Implementation” which

includes MIDI exclusive format information, please

contact your Korg distributor.

Universal system exclusive

Pitch bend

Some system exclusive messages have officially

defined uses; these are called universal system

exclusive messages.

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)

Of the universal system exclusive messages, the CX-3

uses the following Inquiry messages.

The CX-3 does not transmit pitch bend changes. When

it receives pitch bend changes, a pitch bend effect 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.

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)

Control change

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.

[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.

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.

To silence all notes

The CX-3 uses the following three types of data dump.

All Note Off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00] (value is 00)

When this message is received, all currently-sounding

notes will be turned off (as though all keys were

released). However, any decay of the notes will

remain.

• Dump All Program, 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.

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

Off message allows the decay of the notes to remain,

All Sound Off causes the sound to be silenced imme-

diately.

• Dump Program transmits or receives data for the

program in the edit buffer.

When the CX-3 receives one of these data dumps, the

data is written into the edit buffer, 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.15 “Writing a pro-

gram”), or by using a MIDI exclusive Program Write

Request.

However, these messages are intended for use in

emergency situations, and are not used during a

performance.

To reset all controllers

• In Global mode, a data dump can be performed when

the Dump Program, Dump All Program, Dump

Global, or Dump All Prog+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.

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.

Data that is received by Dump Program can be written

into internal memory by a Write Request.

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, ff, ... , F7].

F0: Exclusive status

If notes “hang” (fail to stop)

If a note refuses to stop sounding, press the [EXIT]

key.

from an external device

4. Troubleshooting

• If you are receiving MIDI exclusive messages, is the

“MIDI Rx Sys Exc” parameter set to Ena?

Check the setting of this parameter.

Power does not turn on

• Is the power cable connected to an AC outlet?

Check the connection. .......................................... (see p.6)

• Does the CX-3 support the message that is being

transmitted?

• Is the power switch turned ON?

Make sure that the power switch is ON.

Operating a pedal switch or expression pedal

connected to the rear panel does not produce the

intended operation

No sound

• Are the other devices or headphones connected

correctly?

Check the connections. ........................................ (see p.6)

• Have you selected Pedal 1 or Pedal 2 for the Global

mode Group 1 “Prog Up Ctrl” or “Prog Down Ctrl”

parameters?

It is possible to assign multiple functions to a pedal

switch or expression pedal. However if a pedal switch

etc. is assigned to the Global mode Group 1 “Prog Up

Ctrl” or “Prog Down Ctrl” parameter, the Global

setting will take priority, and the setting of Normal

Edit mode or EX Edit mode will be ignored. Check the

settings of these parameters.

• Is the power of your amp or mixer turned on?

• Is the [MASTER LEVEL] knob raised?

• Is the Global mode Group 4 “MIDI Local” parameter

turned On?

Check the setting of this parameter.

• Are the bars of Drawbar 1 or 2 pulled out?

Pull out some of the bars.

Moving the bars does not affect the sound

Unexpected things occur when the CX-3 is connected

to an external MIDI device

• Is the setting of the DRAWBAR SELECT section

correct?

If you wish to play using the bars, select UPPER

[DRAWBAR 1] or UPPER [DRAWBAR 2]. ....... (see p.8)

• Is there a CC# conflict?

The CX-3 can transmit most of the operations of its

front panel keys and drawbars etc. as control change

numbers. This means that with the factory settings,

some of the control change numbers will conflict with

standard MIDI devices, and when the CX-3 is con-

nected via MIDI to other devices, these control

changes will coincide with different functions on the

other device, producing unexpected results.

Check the Global mode Group 6 and 7 CC# param-

eters, and turn off unneeded parameters or change

their CC#.

Percussion is not applied

• Is the setting of the DRAWBAR SELECT section

correct?

If you wish to use the keys of the percussion section,

select UPPER [DRAWBAR 2] in the DRAWBAR

SELECT section. .................................................. (see p.11)

• Is the Normal Edit mode “DB Preset’s Perc” param-

eter set to Ena?

Check the setting of this parameter. ................ (see p.11)

• Are the percussion-related parameters set correctly?

The percussion “soft” value is determined by adding

the Normal Edit mode “Percussion Normal Level”

parameter value to the “Percussion Soft Offset”

parameter value. If the sum is less than 0, no percus-

sion will be heard................................................ (see p.18)

Rotary speaker effect is not applied

• Is the amp selection correct?

Select either Type 1 or Type 2 for the Normal Edit

mode or EX Edit mode Group 4 “Amp Type” param-

eter. If you select Pre Amp, the rotary speaker cannot

be used.

................................................................................ (see p.19)

The CX-3 does not respond to MIDI data from an

external device

• Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?

Check the connection. ........................................ (see p.27)

• Is the global MIDI channel set correctly?

Check the setting.
