MOTU: Free MIDI Definition
This file contains everything you need to install the proper Patch Names in Mark Of The Unicorn's FreeMIDI system. Mac users should download the .sea file, PC users the .zip file.

During the development of the BX3 Korg’s design team worked hard to enhance the sound engine and functionality of the product, striving to get even closer to the sound of the true tonewheel system and improving the functions based on user feedback. Now these additions can be added to the CX3 with an operating system upgrade to Version 2.0. What will you get?

First of all 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 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. You’re also able to bypass the Speaker Simulator in the Preamp, opening up a world of new tonalities. 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’ve even sped up the Wheel Brake “return” to better emulate that classic effect. Finally, we now offer selectable key triggering (Shallow and Deep) to allow the user to tailor the response of the keyboard to their playing style.

Note: Since the Program will be sending a long stream of data to your CX3 it has been designed to ruggedly test your MIDI system to ensure that the update is possible on your given computer/MIDI interface setup before the update actually begins. Even though it has been designed to take every precaution we cannot guarantee that the update will go successfully on your system due to the range of different components used in manufacturing computers and MIDI interfaces. If the transfer gets interrupted during the process due to a power interruption or fails because of an interruption of the MIDI data stream due to your system, the CX3 may be left in a state that can only be corrected by bringing it into a Service Center for repair. This work would not be covered under warranty and would likely take a few weeks to perform, as it requires ordering and installing a new mainboard.

So if you are not willing to take this chance do not run the upgrade yourself and contact your local Authorized Korg Distributor to get it performed by an authorized representative

Easy Start Guide
A quick step-by-step tutorial that provides a basic overview and highlights key features of the CX-3 Combo Organ . While not a replacement for the Owner's Manual, this is a friendly "hands on" guide that provides a good place to start in getting familiar with this keyboard.

This guide was written for the CX-3. However the BX-3 shares many of the same features and specifications, so this guide will be of use to BX-3 users as well.
