Subject:FYI Version 2.0 info from Korg..

Looks like they have just posted this info on version 2.0:

Coming Soon:CX3 Version 2
During the development of the BX3, Korg's design team worked hard to
enhance the sound engine and functionality of the product, striving
to get even closer to the sound of the true tonewhell system and
improving the functions based on user feedback. Now these additions
can be added to the CX3 with an operating system upgrade to Version
2.0. What will you get?

First of all, we've re-balanced the drawbars with a new setting that
better emulates their performance across the full key range. The
original setting is also available for those that like the
extra "scream" in the upper octaves. We've added a Noise parameter to
recreate the standing-state noise of an old, beat-up organ when
desired. The Chorus/Vibrato emulation has been improved, along with
the Rotary Speaker algorithm. You're also able to bypass the Speaker
Simulator in the Preamp, opening up a world of new tonalities. We've
added a fourth reverb algorithm (Dark), as well as a three-drawbar
sound source for the lower manual in EX mode allowing for split-
keyboard settings. All pedal assignments can now be set to be
momentary or alternating, and we've even sped up the Wheel
Brake "return" to better emulate that classic effect. Finally, we now
offer selectable key triggering (Shallow and Deep) to allow the user
to tailor the response of the keyboard to their playing style.

This upgrade should be performed by a skilled computer
specialist/technician, and can be done at select Korg Authorized
Repair Centers or by knowledgeable end-users.

Version 2 is due for release in early September, 2002.
