My korg cx3 original model wont adjust the levelof key click. i can turn it off but as soon as i adjust the volume control it goes full on. i have replaced the pot but no difference

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.

SOURCE: Can a Korg CX3 Organ 61 keys be compatible with the RolandFantom XR module?

Hi, from what I can tell you cound plug your CX3 into the synth module with a 1/4 inch patch cable and run the audio through it, however I think you will be quite limited in what you can do to modify your sound.

Where the synth really works well is when you feed it digital input data. For you to be able to do that your CX3 would need midi outputs and while I don't have one, I looked it up and can see that the CX3 is too old and does not have midi capability.

Midi (musical instrument digital interface) is a common language that allows musical devices such as your fantom to communicate with other devices. A keyboard with midi running into a synth is in essence just a control surface, a way for you to input data into your synth module, it is making no sound itself, but rather outputting digital data into your synth which in turn generates the sounds you want it to. There are allot of keyboards out there that are only for this purpose and are simply controllers. For example, M-Audio Oxygen 61 - 61-Key USB MIDI Controller. I'm afraid your CX3 is just too old to be able to do this, however, I imagine some of the sounds that thing makes are very vintage and good, and modern synthesizers often times just cant reproduce that (though they are getting batter all the time). Hope that helps :)

You have bad contacts on some of your keys. The keyboard has to be taken apart, and electronic contact cleaner has to be sprayed into the contacts to clean them. Press the keys repeatedly to spread the cleaner into the contacts. If the contacts are too badly pitted/rusted from water or other liquid damage, cleaning will not help.
