2. A conventional keyboard will not sound until you depress the key all the way however the CX 3 will sound when a key is even slightly depressed This allows more rapid response and ensures precise glissandi and trills The CX 3 lets you produce the percussive clunk sound that is characteristic of tone wheel organs You can also make settings so that a key click is heard when you press and release a key creating the sense of attack that is distinctive on these organs 128 programs are built in Normal mode 64 EX mode 64 allowing you to enjoy a variety of organ sounds The CX 3 has two tone generators the Upper tone generator and the Lower tone generator In Normal mode you can use both the upper and the lower tone generator In EX mode you can use only the Upper tone generator In Normal mode you can use the Split function to divide the keyboard into two areas and play different sounds as though you were using two keyboards If you do not use Split the keyboard will use the Upper tone generator If you use Split the right side of the keyboard will use the Upper tone generator and the left side will use the Lower tone generator The Upper and Lower tone generators can be assigned separate MIDI channels so that either tone generator can be used from an external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI connector To create its sound the CX 3 uses the Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2 sets on its front panel and the drawbars speci
