Value For Money : Poor
Keyboard 61 keys, like Waterfall. Ragit of Manir trs fast. No pitch-bend, no sustain. It is an organ, not a synth with a sound like an organ about.
At the rear there is the traditional trio noon, Stereo output, an input for an expression pedals, and two others for switches. Not bad. In my humble opinion it lacks an outlet for a Leslie cabinet.
The sounds of origins are not really usable, but if we start mode "manual" is the bte rveille immediately ... In EX mode, the two sets of Drawbars can be used, opening of new sonic possibilities. The polyphony is total.

UTILIZATION

Trs trs simple to use. In "manual", it pulls the RULES as one DSIR, and the sound is formed. The possibilities are standards, and worth looking a little ...
There is still the possibility to edit dtail in the positions of microphones from the leslie simulation, the type of amp, the acclration, type of wheels (clean - vintage), and s has quickly become complex. But I find it nice that the possibility of changing these parameters is l.

SOUNDS

I do not compare a CX-3 with a real Hammond C-3 or B-3, or M100 or other models tonewheel prampli and lamps. It is a formulation certainly well damn, that sounds clean (too clean at times) but also acknowledges its limitations. By connecting a vritable Leslie cabinet is a different story dj. You can live the Doppler effect in all its plnitude. Although the Leslie simulation is by no means bad, there's always a sense of flatness, a lack of structure in depth. The effect carrment overdrive is bad. It is cold and digital trs.
In short, used with a Leslie, or another firm (Elka, Dynacord, Motion Sound) is a good alternative to a laptop vritable Hammond organ that does not hide. But used alone, even when the sound is a bit lightweight compared his MODEL. But this applies to almost any formulation ...

OVERALL OPINION

As said before, for someone who has not 4 roadies to transport 120 kilograms of a M100 and a further 70 kilos vritable Leslie is an excellent alternative portable (18 kg) with a more as correct. Operation is simple and efficient trs trs. The Leslie simulation is good, only the overdrive is really below the expectation. But it's something that can change with a good or a firm prampli Motion Sound.
The report is lev qualitprix when we see how the rating formulations computer. But hey, we reoit a beautiful wooden furniture vritable, with beautiful white keys-crme (Waterfall) and 2 sets of Drawbars ... it's 1000x better than a mouse and keyboard Edirol; -)
