Subject:Re: KORG CX-3 noise from simulator

I have the same problem. Despite claims to the contrary, it can not be
turned off. Perhaps only certain serial number units have the problem.
V1 software did not have the problem, but good luck getting THAT
re-installed....
Noise gates didn't help as drawbar changes required a change to the
gate's threshold setting.
