Local Control On setting
If you make connections as shown on the preceding
page, you must turn on the Echo Back setting of the
external MIDI sequencer or computer (so that the data
it receives at MIDI IN will be retransmitted without
change from MIDI OUT), and turn off the Local
Control
setting of the CX-3 (to disconnect the key-
board section from the tone generator section).
When you play the keyboard of the CX-3, the data will
be sent to the external MIDI sequencer or computer,
and will be echoed back to sound the tone generator
of the CX-3. In other words by turning the CX-3’s
Local Control off
, you can prevent notes from being
sounded in duplicate; once from the keyboard and
again from the echo-back.
To turn off Local Control, set the Global mode Group 4
“MIDI Local” parameter to Off.
If you are using the CX-3 by itself, you must turn
Local Control on. (If this is off, playing the CX-3’s
keyboard will produce no sound.)

Connecting a MIDI keyboard
If you wish to use the CX-3 in Normal mode, and use
a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector
to play the CX-3’s Lower tone generator, you will
need to set the following parameters.
Set the transmit channel of your MIDI keyboard to
match the receive channel of the CX-3 (set by the
Global mode Group 2 “MIDI Lower Rx Ch” param-
eter). This allows your MIDI keyboard to be used as
the keyboard for the Lower tone generator.
If you also want to connect a sequencer, turn the
Global mode Group 4 “Merge Lower Message”
parameter On. Channel messages of the channel
specified by the “MIDI Lower Rx Ch” will be con-
verted into the channel specified by the “MIDI Lower
Tx Ch” parameter, and transmitted.

Using a MIDI tone generator with velocity
The CX-3 is set to transmit note messages (with fixed
velocity).
If you are using an external tone generator that is
velocity-sensitive, you will need to set the following
parameters.
Set the Group 2 “MIDI Upper 2nd Ch” and “MIDI
Lower 2nd Ch” parameters to a setting other than Off.
With this setting, note messages with velocity will be
transmitted on the specified MIDI channel.
However since this would cause two note messages
(with and without velocity) to be transmitted, turn the
Global mode Group 2 “MIDI Upper Tx Ch” and
“MIDI Lower Tx Ch” parameters Off. Now the note
messages with fixed velocity will not be transmitted.
As an alternative to the above setting, you can set the
“MIDI Upper 2nd Ch” and “MIDI Upper Tx Ch”
channel settings and the “MIDI Lower 2nd Ch” and
“MIDI Lower Tx Ch” channel settings so that they do
not conflict, and set the receive channel of the con-
nected MIDI device so that it can receive note mes-
sages with velocity.
The CX-3 will sound even when you press a key
lightly. In other words on the CX-3, a note message
with fixed velocity will be transmitted when you
press a key lightly. However a note message with
velocity will not be transmitted until you press the
key all the way. This means that if you have made
settings to transmit note messages with velocity, there
may be cases in which a note message is not transmit-
ted even though the CX-3 has produced sound.
MIDI data dump
The CX-3 can transmit its internal settings to a connected
MIDI data filer or to another CX-3 as exclusive data.
Transmission
While data is being transmitted, do not touch the
CX-3’s keys, drawbars, or knobs, and never turn off
the power.
There are four types of data dump.
Dump Program: Dump data for one program.
Dump All Programs: Dump all program data.
Dump Global Parameter: Dump global data.
Dump All Programs and Global Parameter: Dump all
program data and global data.
Transmitting a data dump
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the CX-3 to
the MIDI IN connector of the device that will
receive the data dump.
2. Enter Global mode.
The key LED will light.
3. While holding down the PROGRAM [7] key, press
the [ ® ] key six times.
The display will indicate Dump Program.
When you select Dump Program, the number of the
program to be dumped will be shown in the square
brackets [ ] at the right of the display.
If you wish to change the program, use the [–]/[+] keys.
The program transmitted here will be a program of
the mode that was last selected when you entered
Global mode in step 2. If you wish to dump a Normal
mode program, select Normal mode before entering
Global mode in step 2. Similarly, if you wish to dump
an EX mode program, select EX mode before entering
Global mode in step 2.
After pressing the PROGRAM [7] key, you can press
the [®] from 6 to 9 times to select the following data
to dump.
[ ® ] key Screen display Dumped data
Press 6 times Dump Program parameters for 1
program
Press 7 times Dump All Program parameters for all
programs
Press 8 times Dump Global global parameters
Press 9 times Dump All Prog+Global all program and
global parameters
4. Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key.
The display will ask you to confirm the dump opera-
tion.
