Subject:Re: cx 3 splitting

Adam:
I dont know much about your question because i play a Bx3, but i
agree with Adam (from New York). Assuming that the Bx3 its the same
but with two manuals as the CX3 (which i think is true), i could tell
theres no better organ clone in the market. Mine has just arrived and
i am just amazed!!! The possibilities with this korg Bx3/Cx3 are the
greatest!!! I don´t play pedals so i dont care about that... but you
can emulate every organ sound youve ever listened to with this
things, even a Vox!!!!
So just buy it and enjoy!!!
And with two plugs for the pedal switches you can do whatever you can
imagine with your cx3.Do that trick that Doug told you, its a very
good idea!! Plus the cx3 is lightweighted, you cannot imagine the
money i had to expend to move my bx3 safely and with less effort.
I would say you go for it, youll have no regrets.
Best wishes
Eduardo
