![]() ![]() The VOX Continental-V sounds as cool as the original, and moves with you more easily. All of the parameters you would expect to be ‘tweakable’ have been faithfully reproduced – great attention to detail. Now, the VOX Continental-V software version gives contemporary, computer-based musicians instant access to those same hit-making sounds, and much more.Īs Steve Nieve (Elvis Costello and The Attractions) states, “Arturia has brought the VOX Continental into the 21st Century. However, VOX organs have become increasingly difficult to acquire due to the high prices that they can command, compounded by the limited supply of working units. ![]() Onstage, The Beatles performed a memorably frenzied version of "Help!" B-side "I’m Down" during their August 1965 performance at New York’s Shea Stadium with John Lennon playing a VOX Continental using his elbows at times!ĭespite being phased out of production in the early-Seventies, the VOX Continental has stood the test of time, too, playing a pivotal part in generating many of the distinctive keyboard sounds supporting later musical genres, including almost everything ever recorded by British Ska revivalists Madness, as well as New Wavers like Elvis Costello and The Attractions and American counterparts Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. As such, it prominently featured on many hit records of the time, including The Animals’ classic "House Of The Rising Sun" in 1964 and, a little later, "Light My Fire" by The Doors. ![]() ![]() Introduced in 1962, the VOX Continental-or "Connie" as it affectionately became known-was originally designed to address the needs of touring musicians, but became musically much-loved in its own right. Vintage effects are also included, letting you immerse yourself in the rich history of organ performance.As a high-end software recreation of the Sixties-vintage VOX Continental 300 transistor-based combo organ, VOX Continental-V is the latest addition to Arturia’s acclaimed Analog Classics lineup, where it sits alongside an authentic recreation of another archetypal Sixties staple, the Wurlitzer-V (based on the classic "Wurly" electric piano). It goes without saying that the CX-3 provides percussion to create an attack sound, and the COMPACT is equipped with an MTB (multi-tone booster) that lets you create everything from sweet and mellow tones to a distinctively sharp sound.įurthermore, every sound allows vibrato/chorus and the rotary speaker simulation to be quickly switched on/off at a touch. The VOX and the CX-3 also let you switch between upper (upper keyboard) and lower (lower keyboard) and split at a single touch of a button. These organ sounds let you use the revolutionary touch drawbars to freely control the harmonics and tone. The CX-3 tonewheel organ sound engine faithfully models KORG's classic combo organ. The COMPACT reproduces every detail of another compact transistor organ from the same era as the VOX Continental. The VOX transistor organ sound engine perfectly reproduces the sound of the original VOX Continental that went on sale in the 1960s. The ORGAN part contains three different sound engines. ORGAN part meticulously models three vintage organs The air of tradition that emanates from VOX organs, together with the innovation of decades of research, down to the illuminated VOX logo shows the new VOX Continental is a fusion of both, redefining the existence of the modern stage keyboard.

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. Now, a completely new keyboard that carries this concept into the present day has been again released by the VOX brand. The original VOX Continental, a transistor organ that appeared in the 1960s, is a timeless classic beloved by top players as a practical keyboard with a home on any live stage. VOX returns with a stage keyboard crafted with the professional player in mind. ![]()
