SPEF for accurate, see page BX-3 ( http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=BX3&category_id=1 ) Korg site.

Hyper-complete, I put 8 Because I saw an audio input to use the Leslie with other instruments.
The keyboards are velocity sensitive, ok for the organ, but to control an expander is a shame ...

UTILIZATION

It's an organ! It is lighter and it plays!
The screen is very readable, well organized menus, without opening the user guide people come here quickly. The manual is also simple but complete.

SOUNDS

Sounds?? Yum ....
The grain is usually very hot, with the body, the grave of velvety.

Before I used the BX-3 Native B4. B4 in the mix is ​​very good, but the Korg is a good notch above!
The Leslie is downright killer (I had not cracked on the simulation of Roland nor the Nord Electro), and is hyper-configurable.
A nice detail you can choose to route the reverb before the Leslie. Indeed retro 70's guaranteed!
Stirs at the sound, you can choose the linearity of zippers, the tone wheel more or less clean or vintage, the background noise of the wheels, the sounds of contact at the beginning of note in the end notes, etc ...

At gaming experience, nothing to do with a soft controlled from a kbd (even with a MIDI controller for the zippers). The keyboards are the BX-3 "waterfall", the answer is comfortable, you can even choose how deep of depression of the button the sound goes off! There, Korg has made very strong ...
A good big pedal comes with and found the pleasure of a game feeling very, very dynamic ...

Within minutes, you forget the DSP in and you think "music"!

OVERALL OPINION

That's four months I have this instrument.
I use it more, even on a prod when the organ is not the first thing that comes to mind!

And nice little detail: it is not so heavy to carry it looks. (Two is a joke!)

This choice I would do without hesitation.
