KORG CONTINENTAL73 Vox Continental 73-Key Performance Synth
The Korg VOX Continental is a professionally designed 73-key, high-performance instrument well suited for stage performances, live bands, studios, rehearsal spaces, and houses of worship. The VOX Continental's intuitive user interface ensures fast and easy playability and includes 150 built-in programs carefully selected intended for live use, powered by its high-quality PCM sound engine and its vintage sound-modeling engine. The organ section is capable of providing three distinct models including CX-3, VOX, and Compact, each comes along with drawbar controls, rotary speaker on/off, percussion on/off, split functions, and vibrato/chorus on/off. The electric piano section is made for offering choices for Reed, Tine, and FM, and the piano is capable of offering selections for Grand, Upright, and E.Grand at the same time. The Key/Layer part is capable of offering 6 types including Key, Strings, Brass, Synth, Lead, and Other. The preset variations are possible to be organized into 16 scenes intended for fast recall for on-the-fly performance switching.
The on-board insert and master effects are capable of offering a variety of choices including chorus, flanger, phaser, drive, compressor, and wah, which are capable to be controlled by the included expression pedal. Other effects include several choices of delay and reverb, and the 9-band stereo EQ is giving you the capability to quickly fine-tune the instrument's tonal balance at the same time. In addition, the VOX Continental is featuring Korg's vacuum tube Nutube 6P1, which injects harmonically rich and smooth distortion for a dense, fat sound not available through modeling.
The instrument is offering both 1/4" and XLR outputs, which is allowing it to connect to a variety of equipment including keyboard amplifiers and FOH consoles, without the need for a separate DI. The VOX Continental ships with the V861 volume/expression pedal, the ST-Continental keyboard stand, and a power adapter.
