Authentic Tone Wheel Combo Organ!
For years, if you wanted the sound of a real tone-wheel organ, there was only one instrument that could deliver! In today's world of virtual modeling and synthesis, sometimes a real instrument is just what the doctor ordered!

Meticulous re-creation of the tone-wheel system
Korg's state-of-the-art DSP technology has made it possible to precisely re-create the unique sound that, until now, could only be produced by the real thing. Two different tone-wheel sounds are provided: "VINTAGE" and "CLEAN." The BX-3's amazing realism even extends to such details as allowing you to add the "leakage" noise generated by the tone-wheels, and the ability to adjust their overtone levels.

Drawbars - the backbone of the organ sound
The BX-3 features two sets of nine drawbars that duplicate the sonic characteristics of the originals - including the proper foldback settings and harmonic distortion. And you can easily select between the presets and these two sets of "live" drawbars while performing for that real organ-playing experience. The BX-3 also provides an EX mode in which all 18 drawbars can be utilized as one extended palette.

Classic sounds and more
With 128 programs, the BX-3 is ready to cover a wide range of musical styles including pop, hard rock, jazz, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Plus, Korg's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology is applied to create effects that add further authenticity to the organ sound. The rotary speaker effect, so important to the organ experience, is recreated here with total realism.

Features:

Dual manual version of the award winning CX-3
Tone Wheel Organ modeling system that perfectly reproduces a tone wheel organ's sound-producing mechanism
Modeled parameters include leakage, key click (on and off), vintage and clean tone wheel simulations, adjustable overtones, proper foldback characteristics
Two sets of nine drawbars easily assignable to upper or lower sound
Classic percussion settings with proper polyphonically-triggered-yet-monophonic performance
3 types of preamp/amp simulation with natural dynamic overdrive
Detailed rotary speaker simulation
Classic Vibrato/Chorus settings
Innovative EX mode for additional harmonics and percussion harmonics (allows both sets of drawbars to be linked)
128 Programs (64 regular/64 EX mode) w/ many signature artist settings
MIDI controller capabilities, including Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels; also send velocity on a second
Every knob/switch/drawbar sends MIDI controller messages for accurate sequencing possibilities
Large Vacuum Florescent Display
3 controller pedal inputs
MIDI In/Out/Thru
Wooden cabinet and matching wooden stand for a timeless appearance

Customer Reviews

The real deal!

“Having just finished talking about the current lineup of organs at an online forum, I wanted to add my review here while the thoughts were still fresh in my mind. While there are many ways to simply add an organ track to a song using various samplers...if you want to PLAY organ, an actual organ is the only way to go. Of all the currently-available organs, the BX3 is easily the king...including...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"Really many of my customers like it better than a B3! I think that's because it's so much lighter (duh) and still sounds like the real thing. Also the wood case and stand make it righteous!" Kenny Bergle
