The Korg CX-3 is a portable, single-manual organ (also called a "stage organ"). As a so-called "Hammond clone", its control elements, design and sound are strongly based on the original Hammond organs.
There is an old and a new model of the Korg CX-3. There is also a two-manual version of both, the "BX-3" model.
The first CX-3 came on the market in 1979. In addition to the sound of the tonewheels of a Hammond organ, controlled by a register set with nine-chorus drawbars , which was based on its characteristics , it also contained an electronic simulation of the Leslie loudspeaker cabinet , referred to as the "Rotary Speaker" effect.
In 2000, the CX-3 was replaced by a version using digital technology. This is equipped with a second set of drawbars and allows the keyboard to be subdivided for the two sound variants. Chorus and reverb effects, 128 presets and the MIDI interface were added, as well as storable parameters for key click, Leslie speed and the possible coupling of drawbar sets for further registers. Korg presented a virtual CX-3 for its own workstation OASYS, the predecessor of KRONOS.
