Ol' sixties kid here. I'd rather this new board look identical to the original - reverse keys an' all. _________________ When I nod my head . . . Hit it!

The only place I would hear Organ sounds is on Sundays in Church.
Sharp.
40% of the sounds on Oxygene and Equinoxe are a home-organ (The Emininet 310)
Have a listen to the organ work on Rick Wakeman's "White Rock" album (last track) - just one example of pretty cool organ work by an otherwise known synth player.
Cory Henry is also an amazing organ player of today (but again, as with Rick Wakeman using a Hammond B3).
All that said, the few classic songs aside using the Vox Continental, it is in general a pretty awful sounding instrument!. They were the poor-man's organ of the '60s and of woeful build quality.
This release looks like using the name only to compete with the Nord Electro / Stage market.
^^ True, Kevin. But before Hammonds became in more widespread use with typical 60s groups, Continentals were a mainstay (I had a Watkins Telstar myself, yikes ). And it's true they were pretty awful in general, but they were very much 'of their time' and, as I think you were perhaps suggesting, songs like House of the Rising Sun and some of the Dave Clark Five's stuff just wouldn't have been the same without the Vox.
Don't want to spoil your supper, but imagine A Whiter Shade of Pale with a Continental.
If you think the Continental was bad, Farfisa Compact Duo organs were in common use, also.
Back then, prior to portable organs, as a keyboard player you were stuck with whatever piano happened to be at the venue. There's some horror stories there. _________________ When I nod my head . . . Hit it!

lol giner
yea the 60's were interesting!!
you never knew what you were going to have to play at some venues.
power is still an issue at most of the places to play!!
lol
we never plug in to house power!!
we bring our own gens on the trailer!!
after loosing a vintage amp in the 1970's due to surge we have our own power...
but the sounds on the old cheap keys were what made the 60's bands sound!!
now that is what we are trying to get back to...
harsh class c tube amp sound of over drive browned out dirty growl!
Hammond, and more in this class!!
this new solution is cool for a gig unit!!
I have been watching the you tube videos on the sounds...
not bad for a late model unit!!
hard to make the cheap sounds of yesteryears! _________________ my site klimaco.net

Only time we had an issue with house power was a hick bar in Millet, Alberta where everything in the place seemed to come off one line
Funniest thing I ever saw was many years ago on a USAF base in England where this good ol' country boy turned up and ran his 'hacked' Fender amp off a 12V car battery because "I don't trust no goddam grid power!"
True what you say about how folks pay big bucks now to get those old 'classic' sounds. Something perversely funny about that. _________________ When I nod my head . . . Hit it!

It is weird to see all the "retro" product in the keyboard industry in the last seven or eight years. Having lived and played back then; I find it strange to want to go back to that exclusively. Trust me, it was a big hassle dealing with electronic keyboards back then. RFI interference, broken tines, power surges; you name it and it happened. Glad to have the keys I have today. _________________ http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=807494
