Parameters unique to a combo organ

The CX-3 has various parameters for simulating the distinctive sound of a combo organ.

As an example, here’s how to edit the tone wheel, over- tone, key click level, and leakage level.

1.Press the [EDIT] key to enter Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode.

2.Press the [] key or [®] key to access the “ Wheel

Type” parameter.

If this parameter does not appear immediately, press the PROGRAM [1] key and then press the [®] key once.

This parameter selects the type of tone wheel.

The tone wheel is the sound-producing mechanism used by the tone generator of combo organs.

3.Press the [–] or [+] key to select Vintage.

Vintage includes leakage noise. This is mechanical noise created by the tone wheel, and is unique to combo organs.

Clean does not include leakage noise.

4.Press the [®] once to access the “ Over Tone

Level” parameter, and use the [–]/[+] keys to adjust the value.

This parameter adjusts the level of the overtones produced by the tone wheel. Increasing this value will increase the volume.

5.Press the [®] key once to access the “ Leakage

Level” parameter, and use the [–]/[+] keys to adjust the value.

This parameter adjusts the amount of noise (unrelated to the keyboard) that is combined with the tone wheel signal. Increasing this value will increase the noise.

6.Press the [®] key once to access the “ On Click

Level” parameter, and use the [–]/[+] keys to adjust the value.

This parameter simulates the noise that is produced when you play a note, and adjusts the level of this noise. Increasing this value will increase the noise.

7.Press the [®] key once to access the “ Off Click

Level” parameter, use the [–]/[+] keys to adjust the value.

This parameter simulates the noise that is produced when you release a note, and adjusts the level of this noise. Increasing this value will increase the noise.

If you select another program or turn off the power before writing the modified settings, the settings will revert to their previous values. If you wish to write your settings into memory, refer to “Writing a program” (p.15).

Other editing

The CX-3 has parameters that add various effects to the sound. Each of the factory-set programs has effect settings that are appropriate for their sound.

If you wish to make detailed adjustments to the sound of a program, you can edit these parameters in Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode.

Percussion settings: Group 3 (p.18)

Amp settings: Group 4 (p.19)

Reverb settings: Group 5 (p.19)

Rotary speaker settings: Group 6 (p.19)

Writing a program

When you select a program, the program data is called into a edit buffer inside the CX-3. Then when you use Normal Edit mode or EX Edit mode to modify the parameter values, the data within the edit buffer will be modified.

If you wish to save the modified data into internal memory, you must perform the Write operation.

When the data in the edit buffer has been modified, an “” will appear between the program number and the program name.

If you select another program before writing the program you modified, new data will be called into the edit buffer, and your modified data will be lost. The data in the edit buffer will also be lost when you turn off the power.

1.Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key.

The mode does not matter.

The left side of the display will indicate WRITE., and the writing destination program number will be shown in the square brackets [ ] at the right.

2.If you wish to change the writing destination, use the [–]/[+] keys to specify the desired writing destination.

You can play the keyboard to audition the sound of the program marked by the Speaker icon. The Speaker icon can be moved using the [√ ][®] keys, allowing you to compare or confirm the sounds of the program you are about to write and the program that will be overwritten.

3.Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key.

A message will ask you to confirm the writing desti- nation you specified.

4.To write the data, press the [WRITE/ENTER] key. To cancel without writing, press the [EXIT] key.

When the data has been written, the display will indicate Completed.
