Subject:Re: XK3 and CX3

I agree with Chuck. This was the natural evolution for me

Loved the Korg BX-3, but then I acquired a real B3 Leslie. Then I became increasingly dissatisfied with the Korg, but I couldn't haul the B3 around. The XK-3 smokes the Korg hands down (my opinion). Other advantages are the 11-pin out and the XK obviously supports pedals which the Korgs don't do.

There is no comparison between an XB2 and an XK3. None.
If you have never owned or even messed with an XK3 at least do that before
deciding.
This entire comparison between the clones is so subjective it's funny.
EX: I thought the action on the XK3 left a bit to be desirded then realized
from a post that the attack on the XK3 can be adjusted internally which
gives you the impression of different speeds of attack and release.
The editing capabilities in the XK3 blow the Korgs out of the water. Unless
you are going to buy an Oasys in which case the editing parameters in the
interenal CX3 change greatly.
I had a BX3 and got rid of it because it was simply not up to par with a B3.
I hated the v/c among othere things.
AGAIN-this is highly suibjective but try them all out before deciding and
really spend time with each piece before buying.
