1. Power cable connections
Connect the included power cable to the AC power
inlet of the CX-3, and then plug the other end of the
cable into an AC outlet.
2. OUTPUT jack connections
Connect powered monitors, keyboard amps, or your
audio system to output the sound of the CX-3.
If you connect the CX-3 to a stereo audio amp, high-
volume playing may damage your speaker system.
Be careful not to raise the volume excessively.
Connect the OUTPUT L, R jacks to the INPUT jacks of
your powered monitors etc.
When connecting in stereo, use the L and R jacks.
When connecting in monaural, use the L jack. We
recommend that you use stereo connections whenever
possible.
3. Pedal connections

The rotary speaker effect, vibrato/chorus on/off, and

the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jack of the rear panel.
Expression pedal connections
A pedal can be used to control the volume, etc.
The function to be controlled can be specified by the

PRESSION PEDAL jack, and a separately sold Korg
EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expression/volume
pedal to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL/SW jack of the
rear panel.
4. MIDI connections
MIDI connections allow you to use the keyboard and
controllers (drawbars etc.) of the CX-3 to control an
external MIDI tone generator, or use another MIDI
keyboard or sequencer to play the tone generator of
the CX-3.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI connector of the
CX-3 to the MIDI connector of the external MIDI
device. For details refer to “2. MIDI applications”
(p.27).
