My Korg CX-3 Combo Organ turns on, but when it's plugged in to an amplifier, I don't hear anything and it doesn't generate any sounds except for a clicking noise when hitting the key. I hope you can help me. Thank You

From the user manual troubleshooting:

No sound

• Are the other devices or headphones connected

correctly?

Check the connections. ........................................ (see p.6)

• Is the power of your amp or mixer turned on?

• Is the [MASTER LEVEL] knob raised?

• Is the Global mode Group 4 "MIDI Local" parameter

turned On?

Check the setting of this parameter.

• Are the bars of Drawbar 1 or 2 pulled out?
Pull out some of the bars.

Also check out this site and scroll down and do the "Factory reset" by holding down the buttons they say... AND please note that you have to hold them for a while during this.

I have an Analog Korg CX3 and suddenly All of the C# keys are oscillating off pitch and tone, just the C#'s.

The analog cx3 uses old school organ technology where a single oscillator for each scale note is divided to put it in the correct octave. Its likley the c# oscillator needs to be replaced. This is a job for a tech rather than being user serviceable.

You have probably activeated a split point. Do a reset next time you turn it on and see if that doesn't correct the problem.

No sound whatsoever.

You have a blown speaker. Try plugging in a cab or connect another speaker of any kind to to see if you hear anything at all real low. Speakers blow in 2 different ways, they can either overheat, warping the voicecoil and end up sounding like a tin can or overheat and burn out completely, severing the voicecoil, leaving no sound at all, dead silence.

So you're saying with headphones you also only hear one side? I would suspect the internal amp is panned all to one side. There are also several other settings in this unit where pan can be set so you may have to check several areas. If you don't have any specific custom settings made I would try a restore to factory defaults. If that doesn't resolve it you likely have a hardware failure which is likely not repairable. I strongly suspect a panning issue though.

If this is a flash upgrade to the unit be VERY careful as a failed upload can leave unit dead. They usually have pretty tight checks to prevent an error from killing the unit during the upload. For certain music products I have found that I had to upload an in between version first that was available before uploading the latest current version.

This is likely a power supply problem. It is important that all interconnected equipment be powered by the same receptacle OR source or isolation such as DI's be used for system safety.

I would try hitting the side of the amp before turning it on. There may be a loose piece of solder or other conductive particle stuck somewhere. Bang the cabinet rather hard with your fist. If that doesn't help it might be a loose solder connection at a resistor or capacitor but a tech should check that out.
