yes technical unreliabilities and - weight. I can remember moving my Rhodes up the stairways  That´s the thing with this new product: technical stability (hopefully) and light weighted. For me the Continental emulation is not important. It´s more the fact, that I can have the Kronos-rhodes (I find it much better than the Nord-rhodes) and -acoustic pianos with 73 keys under 9 kg. And a more direct interface in terms of effects than the grandstage. Orange is the new sexy red  Well we find out.

You know with a change in speaker systems, a Vox can sound like a "Hammond" and vice versa.
Most people aren't aware of the fact that Tom Petty's "Don't Do Me Like That" was a Vox through a Leslie. I wasn't until recently. Take a listen to that track.
A Hammond through a PR40 cabinet (or any non-rotary speaker) with vibrato engaged can sound quite similar to a combo organ. Both the Hammond and Vox build their sound through footages.
I do understand people who can't stand the sound of an organ. I've known quite a few musicians that don't like the Hammond or combo organ. Personally, I'm not in love with Mellotrons or the CP70, but I understand them to be important keyboards from our past.

I'm with you on the retro fad going on, it reminds me of guitars. Of course the physical issues of playing keys live are not as great anymore, but I'm more worried that we are gonna end up with a market full of recreations of keys gone by and nothing new. Not a biggy in the guitar world as there's nothing that can be done to a guitar that hasn't been done. They are all being flogged recreations of ancient pedals I guess, instead of a limited run of 200,000 cream Strats in honour to the one Jimmi burnt onstage at Woodstock with the head that was unique to that time (it had "Made in U.S.A" printed on it).
There is a lot to be said about recreating keyboard instruments from the past that were unique to an era, like string machines, organs, electric pianos, even combo-organs, but take a leaf from Waldorf's book, don't recreate one specific instrument, try to add something to make it also reflect current musical paradigms. From everything said so far about the Vox Continental reissue, the have not made a true recreation of it's sound, as it wasn't worth trying to recreate, LOL, but to me that is actually encouraging!

Re the new Vox C
I understand Vox is owned by Korg and here in Australia it is going to be distributed by Yamaha

How Split and Layer work ?
Based on my analysis on the keyboard front panel, it only allowed to split the organ sound into upper and lower with 2 different type of organ.
However, there is no piano and bass split.
As for layer, you can layer 4 sound from 4 engine together.
Am I right ?
I could not find any this new vox continental user manual. |
