![]() ![]() Actually my thoughts are pretty much the same as Teashea's. I've had my Vox Continental for a couple days so I'll add my thoughts. In fact it does not have a screen - Just some led readouts to show the selection numbers for the instrument variations. It does not have the deep adjustments that other clones have. Overall I really like it but it is only going to appeal, I think, to a specific group of players. I will add some more specific comments on specific issues. There is also a drive which uses a Nutube vacuum tube. In fact the basic innerds are from the Korg Grandstage. These are Korg sounds, so you know if you like them or not. The sounds across the spectrum are clean and rich. There is no need for a half moon switch because the Leslie simulation is controlled by a bend lever (which also controls tremelo and pitch). There is also a Leslie simulation, which Is good but not a Vent. ![]() Of course, they don't have the tactile feel of drawbars. They are quite easy to use and they do have the advantage of always showing the position of what is actually being played. I had never used led touch sensors before. They can also be used to control the nine band EQ and the Key/Layer sound parameters. These control the organ section instruments, as you would expect. Instead of drawbars there is a section of led touch sensors. There are insert effects and master effects. There is also an effects section that is easy to use. Each of the four main sound sections has a separate volume knob so you can adjust the relative balance between sections. Selecting a split is done by pushing a button. Layering requires nothing more than pushing the two main sound section buttons that you want. This is done by simply pushing a button to select the main sound section, another button to select the instrument and turning a dial to select the variation of the instrument. For each instrument you can select any of several variations. For example, the organ sound section has three instruments - Vox (of course), CX3 (B3 family) and Compact (Farfisa). Very simple and very clear.Įach of the four main sound sections has a selection of instruments. There are four buttons that are used to turn these on and off. Organ, Piano, Electric Piano and Key/Layer. There are four main sound sections, two of which can be layered or split. It is not the orange color that it appears to be under the lighting of some of the videos and photos. By the way the color is red, with some orange in it. Other than that the aesthetics are something that I like very much. I think they put these on to add to the retro look, which is not quite my cup of tea. I also removed the chrome "Vox" logo and the "British" logo. I personally don't like hard plastic knobs so I replaced mine with Chroma Cap knobs (as I have done with dozen of my synths). The knobs and switches have a good feel, with no wobble. I don't think that is is going to appeal to the mainstream market, but to rather to a certain narrow group.įirst, the build quality. This is a multi dimensional stage keyboard that is focused on a very specific target market. True, it does have an excellent Vox Continental sound, but that is a small part of what it does. While Korg/Vox markets this as a Vox Continental, that is misleading. It's an instrument that perfectly fits your live performance requirements for a variety of styles including rock, pop, jazz, and more.This is a an unusual instrument. In addition, the Continental features a powerful effects section to enhance these sounds, and even analog valve drive powered by Nutube, the cutting-edge vacuum tube. ![]() The high-quality sound engine section is centered on organ, electric piano, and acoustic piano, and provides a wealth of stage-ready sounds. The VOX Continental uses a simple and intuitive interface that allows quick accessibility of every function. ![]()
