KORG VOX Super Continental v1.1.3 WiN

The legendary VOX Continental organ is faithfully recreated in software as the VOX Super Continental!

Originally conceived in the early 1960s as a more portable and affordable alternative to tonewheel organs, the VOX Continental's distinctive sound – and its sharp red-and-black design – soon made it a staple of “British Invasion” bands. The Continental's bright timbre and brash attitude fit perfectly with jangly guitars, and easily cut through the mix on stage and in the studio.

Production stopped around 1970, but a new generation of ska, garage, punk, and new wave bands adopted the instruments in the '70s and '80s. Weathered and worn through decades of use, and none-too-stable to begin with, the instruments tend to be charmingly out of tune. As the key contacts aged, each note started to sound slightly different. With this unique voice, a combination of electric tone and vintage character, the Vox Continental is a fixture of stage and studio – particularly in indie music.

The KORG Collection VOX Super Continental began as a careful re-creation of a number of Continental keyboards, including a beloved instrument personally owned by the primary software engineer, in order to get the best possible representation of the Super Continental sound performance. This analysis included such details as the behavior of hundreds of individual key contacts – and is the most accurate VOX Continental software instrument available anywhere!
