This CX-3 is in perfect working condition. T is a little platform that can bolt to the left underside. I used it to rest a mixer on. If the buyer wants it I will ship it with the organ. The mixer in the photos is not included. This synth has always been covered or in the case and the keys and controls are very clean and in excellent condition. The aluminum edging was put on to help protect the wood case from further damage. If you can live with the stickers and cosmetic blemishes, this will make a nice unit for you. It comes with the original manual, custom vynill cover, long throw control pedal, power cord, case and bolt on platform if wanted. Shipping is $25 to the lower 48. Please email me with any questions. CX-3 Version 2 During the development of the Korg BX-3 combo organ , Korg's design team worked hard to enhance the sound engine and functionality of the instrument, striving to get even closer to the sound of the true tone-wheel system and improve the functions based on user feedback. Now, these additions can be added to the CX-3, with an operating system upgrade to Version 2.0. What will you get? First, we've re-balanced the drawbars with a new setting that better emulates their performance across the full key range. The original setting is also available for those that like the extra "scream" in the upper octaves. We' ve also added a Noise parameter to recreate the standing-state noise of an old, beat-up organ when desired. The Chorus/Vibrato emulation has been improved, along with the Rotary Speaker algorithm. Users also have the ability to bypass the Speaker Simulator in the Preamp, opening up a world of new tonalities. In addition, we've added a fourth reverb algorithm (Dark), as well as a three-drawbar sound source for the lower manual in EX mode, allowing for split-keyboard settings. All pedal assignments can now be set to be momentary or alternating, and we have even sped up the Wheel Brake "return" to better emulate that classic effect. Finally, selectable key triggering (Shallow and Deep) was introduced, allowing the user to tailor the response of the keyboard to their playing style. This upgrade should be performed by a skilled computer specialist/technician, and can be done at select Korg Authorized Repair Centers or by knowledgeable end-users. Select the Support tab. This is it - the real sound -a sound that hasn't been matched...until now. The classic sound of a tone-wheel organ, long considered unattainable even with modern technology, has been recreated to absolute perfection. Meet the Korg CX-3, the result of KORG's meticulous re-thinking of combo organ sound, keyboard touch, and classic appearance. The KORG CX-3 first went on sale in 1979. This advanced combo organ broke through the monopoly of the legendary tone-wheel sound, and went on to become a favorite in its own right. It is still widely used by musicians in studios and on stages around the world. Twenty years later, the CX-3 was reborn, making full use of KORG's acclaimed DSP technology reflecting painstaking attention to musically sensitive keyboard touch and exterior detail. The second-generation CX-3 combo organ is the real thing. Perfect DSP simulation of a tone-wheel organ system. Using its newly developed Tone Wheel Organ Modeling generator, KORG's advanced DSP technology precisely recreates the unique sound that, until now, could only be produced by a tone-wheel organ. Two different tone wheel sounds are provided: ("VINTAGE" and "CLEAN"), and the Korg CX-3'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 to control volume and sound characteristics with your foot. 128 possible programs for immediate use. With 128 programs, including over 30 preset programs, the Korg CX-3 is ready to cover a wide range of styles including pop, hard rock, jazz, ... read more
