Originally a transistor organ that debuted in the 1960s, the VOX Continental is a classic that is loved by top musicians and is a practical keyboard for live performance or home use. Now, an all-new keyboard that brings this concept to the forefront has been released by the VOX brand.

The VOX Continental uses a simple and intuitive interface that makes every function quickly accessible. The high-quality sound engine section focuses on organ, electric piano and acoustic piano, and there is a rich range of sounds ready for the stage. In addition, the Continental features a powerful effects section to enhance these sounds, and even analog valve drive provided by the state-of-the-art vacuum tube Nutube. It is an instrument perfectly suited to your live performance needs for rock, pop, jazz and many more.

The traditional feel of VOX organs combined with the innovation of years of research, right down to the illuminated VOX logo, means the new VOX Continental is a fusion of both, redefining the look of the modern stage keyboard.
