Korg CX3 61-Key Combo Organ
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've been chasing that elusive Hammond sound for nearly two decades now. My last purchase was EMU's B3 module, which I must admit, blew me away. An old friend of mine came up to me at a recent gig, loving the sound I'd got, but raving about the CX3. I had to go check it out.
I played it for three hours and couldn't help buying it - an impulse buy that my bank manager will probably be nagging me about for months to come. But that's how good it is... having played loads of emulations in the past, I've never really felt like Keith Emerson or Jon Lord until I got my hands on this baby. Even playing through the presets, there is so much variation to be had just by adding or changing the various effects available that it was almost a week before I started to play with the drawbars and make my own sounds. And here the beast really takes off. Korg's display panel allows you to view the drawbar settings for each preset so that, from here, it's easy to recreate the preset sound and then experiment with the settings to "fine tweak" the sound to your exact requirements. Percussive effects and leakage emulation add to the authenticity - that real "choking Hammond" sound that you've been striving for for years, re-created with a minimum effort and a little talent!
I played the original Korg CX3 several years ago (it was OK), but this is a whole new ball game. For the first time ever, I've really found the sounds I was looking for. I don't know what the future might hold for Hammond emulations, but this is definitely the closest thing I've heard so far, and the only one I've felt happy with after a month playing it.
