Korg CX-3
A digital remake of the Korg CX-3 was launched in 2001, has two sets of drawbars, expression and overdrive controls, and a built-in reverb unit and Leslie simulator. It weighs 37.5 lb (17 kg). It has a 20-character fluorescent display to provide information to the player about the presets and effects. It uses Korg’s REMS (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) to provide sound modeling and emulation for the tonewheel sound.Like a Hammond B-3, the Korg CX-3 has three vibrato settings and three chorus settings. It can save 128 programmable presets. It has 2 drawbar sets with 9 drawbars each and offered a split keyboard mode. It also has MIDI In, Out and Thru jacks so it could be connected to sequencers or other MIDI instruments.The 2001 model has some buttons and functions not present on its 1979 version, such as an edit button, a write/enter button, an exit button, eight program select buttons, two check/advance buttons and two increment/decrement buttons. The buttons have LED lights, which indicate the status of the button. As well, the 2001 model has a 1/4″ expression pedal jack and two 1/4″ assignable control jacks (switch pedals could be connected to the two assignable jacks to control various features, such as turning on the rotary speaker emulator or selecting programs). A feature not found on the 1979 CX-3 or on the vintage Hammond B-3 is the 2001 CX-3’s EX mode, which enables the user to produce new and even unusual synthesized sounds using the tonewheel synthesis engine. The CX-3 does not have an 11-pin Leslie speaker jack, a feature found on vintage Hammond B-3’s and on earlier clonewheel organs.The 2001 digital Korg CX-3 was retired in 2011 after the introduction of the Korg Kronos. The Kronos included a tonewheel modelling engine as one of nine sound-generating engines//The Korg M1 is a synthesizer and music workstation manufactured by Korg from 1988 to 1995. It became the top-selling digital synthesizer of its time.Whereas previous synthesizers had shipped with sounds chosen for different markets, Korg chairman Tsutomu Kato and his son Seiki decided that their synthesizers should use the same sounds internationally. Korg assembled an international team to develop the sounds for the M1. To create a deep blown bottle sound, the team played a pan flute over a large sake bottle.The M1 features a 61-note velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, 16-note polyphony, a joystick for pitch-bend and modulation control, an eight-track MIDI sequencer, separate LFOs for vibrato and filter modulation, and ADSR envelopes. Data can be stored on RAM and PCM cards.The M1 has a ROM with four megabytes of 16-bit PCM tones, including, according to Sound on Sound, “exotic instruments that previously hadn’t been heard in the mainstream”. The sounds include sampled attack transients, loops, sustained waveforms without attack transients, and percussive samples. The timbres include piano, strings, acoustic guitar, woodwinds, sitar, kalimba, wind chimes, and drums.It also features effects including reverb, delay, chorus, tremolo, EQ, distortion, and Leslie simulation, an innovative inclusion at the time. According to Sound on Sound, none of the M1’s features were unique at the time of release, but were implemented and combined in a new way.The Korg M1 is the bestselling synthesiser in history. It was released in 1988 and manufactured until 1995, selling an estimated 250,000 units. Sound on Sound wrote that it “can rightly be called the most popular synth of all time”.The M1 piano and organ presets were widely used in 1990s house music, beginning with Madonna’s 1990 single “Vogue. Its slap bass sound was used to create the theme tune for the sitcom Seinfeld.
