This Tour Guide is your first stop on an amazing journey of discovery. Our goal here is to get you comfortable working with this model, so that you can fully take ownership and give this amazing organ emulation your personal stamp. After you’ve finished this tour, you can learn more about this great instrument by working with the OASYS Operation and Parameter Guides. And you’ll find new OASYS tutorials, tips and tricks, support materials, and discussions with other OASYS owners by visiting and on a regular basis!

The higher numbers contain more great AL-1 Programs. Why not more? Much of the variety and magic of playing a tonewheel organ comes from moving the drawbars yourself, and operating the controls in realtime – it’s not about changing presets as much as it is playing with the instrument in an interactive fashion! Plus, it’s so easy to edit the drawbars and tone to your liking, that you’ll be creating your own original CX-3 Programs in no time!

Note that the factory organ programs all ‘wake up’ with the CONTROL ASSIGN mode defaulting to MOD: TONE ADJUST. Faders 1-8 are your first eight drawbars, and the MASTER fader behaves as drawbar #9. Move the faders as you play, noting that the display’s drawbars update to the changes you make. Touch the small drawbar area beneath Upper and an enlarged view appears, which also updates and responds to your fader movements. Push the joystick away from you (+Y), and the Rotary Speaker slows down; push it again and it accelerates. Try this while holding a low note and a high note together and you can hear the accuracy of the CX-3 rotary model: there are separate acceleration/deceleration rates for the horn (the highs) and the rotor (the revolving drum for the lows).

The Upper Drawbars are linked to the Control Surface. As for the Lowers, note that the 16’ drawbar is colored red: this is the ‘cursor’. The red drawbar is linked to the VALUE slider and VALUE wheel. Touch any drawbar, either Lower or Upper and note that its position can now be adjusted by the VALUE fader and wheel. Note: The Upper Drawbars default to always being linked to the Control Surface. We’ll see in a little bit how we can customize the Control Surface to behave differently.

Besides Joystick –Y, you can enable a Split just by checking the box labeled Split Enable. On this page you can: 1. Change the Split point to any key. Highlight the default ‘B3’ in this example > Use the VALUE Slider or Wheel to modify, or *SHORTCUT* Hold ENTER and press the desired key. > (Note: You are setting the uppermost note for the Lower zone.). 2. Independently shift the octave of the Upper or Lower zone. Try setting the Lower Octave Shift to +2. Why This Is Cool: Organists will often set the Lower Manual as a chordal accompaniment to their soloing on the Upper; or they find it useful to use the Upper and Lower as if they were two different ‘patches’, so that they can change up their soloing with two different voices without any fuss. 3. Change the source of the Split command. To review: AMS stands for Alternate Modulation Source Press the popup after AMS: These are the wealth of sources you can apply for this Split message, or any modulation message. 4. A desirable AMS application for a organist would be to enable hands-free switching of the rotary speaker speed > Press the Amp/ VC/ Rotary Speaker tab, then press the Rotary Speaker tab in the second row > In the Mode/Speed cell, locate the setting Speed SW: Slow, and notice the AMS popup which is currently set to JS+Y > Press this popup and select Damper (CC#64) from the list: now your damper pedal will toggle the rotary speed > Note that the AMS Mode parameter offers the choice of a Momentary setting, so that the rotary would be fast only as long as the pedal is depressed.
