Incredibly realistic tonewheel organ sound!

With the Korg CX3 61-Key Combo Organ, Korg has duplicated classic organ tones right down to adjustable leakage sounds of mechanical tonewheels. With the Korg CX3's 128 program locations and over 64 presets you can cover the whole musical map from pop, hard rock, jazz, and gospel to R&B. A host of keyboardists including Brian Auger, Tom Coster, and Greg Phillinganes contributed their signature sounds to a huge array of voicings. 2 sets of nine draw bars can be extensively controlled while percussive effects add that authentic "thunk" to notes. 3 amp simulations deliver real rotary speaker, classic tube amp, or preamp only sounds. An adjustable split function lets you use 2 sounds at once to create upper and lower keyboards. Or plug in a second MIDI board to re-create the dual manual-playing experience. The Korg CX3 combo organ's 61 keys have ultrafast response speed for authentic trills and glissandi.

I had played a B3 30 years ago and , of course, loved it. I also gave up on a B3 because of the size, weight and maintenance. I seriously started looking for a similar sound several years ago and spent a lot of money on software, sims, leslie simulator pedal and keyboards with digital draw bars. I test drove all the clones and my opinion is the CX3 is the closest to the B3. The Hammond, Roland and Nord have outstanding simulation but I bought the Korg.

The ONLY portable B3

I LOVE this instrument. True, a player can tell it's not a real B3, but it can be very close if you do it right. I played this side-by-side with clones by Hammond, Roland, Native Instruments, and several others that tried to do more. Nothing came close to the Cx3. The Leslie simulator is pretty good, but play the Cx3 through a real Leslie and I doubt you can tell the difference in this and the sound of the real B3.

Imean really, this doesn't come close to a real Hammond sound. Who is anyone kidding. Unfortunately it won't act as a quality controller either as it doesn't send alot of the internal features to midi..eg. transpose, pitch change, etc. I'll stick with my B4 Software.

Love the sound and leslie sim. Comparable to my B but a lot lighter. Leslie sim very good in stereo amp or recording. Good parameters and intuitive editing. Not a Hammond but a great sub. Anyone who thinks this doesn't sound good has a tin ear or has never heard a Hammond B. Some quality issues, nothing major.
