1. Power cable connections

Connect the included power cable to the AC power inlet of the CX-3, and then plug the other end of the cable into an AC outlet.

2. OUTPUT jack connections

Connect powered monitors, keyboard amps, or your audio system to output the sound of the CX-3.

If you connect the CX-3 to a stereo audio amp, high- volume playing may damage your speaker system. Be careful not to raise the volume excessively.

Connect the OUTPUT L, R jacks to the INPUT jacks of your powered monitors etc.

When connecting in stereo, use the L and R jacks. When connecting in monaural, use the L jack. We recommend that you use stereo connections whenever possible.

3. Pedal connections

Pedal switch connections

The rotary speaker effect, vibrato/chorus on/off, and program selection can be controlled by a foot switch. The function to be controlled can be specified by the parameters of Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode.

Connect a separately sold Korg PS-1 pedal switch to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jack of the rear panel.

Expression pedal connections

A pedal can be used to control the volume, etc.

The function to be controlled can be specified by the parameters of Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode.

Connect the included expression pedal to the EX- PRESSION PEDAL jack, and a separately sold Korg EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expression/volume pedal to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jack of the rear panel.

4. MIDI connections

MIDI connections allow you to use the keyboard and controllers (drawbars etc.) of the CX-3 to control an external MIDI tone generator, or use another MIDI keyboard or sequencer to play the tone generator of the CX-3.

Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI connector of the CX-3 to the MIDI connector of the external MIDI device. For details refer to “2. MIDI applications” (p.27).
