and so on. (See page 12)

ORGAN part

Selects the variation for the CX-3, VOX, or COMPACT organ 
sound. (See page 13)
You can also control the percussion, vibrato/chorus, and rotary 
speaker simulation.
There are two types of settings, one for UPPER (the upper part 
of the keyboard) and one for LOWER (the lower part of the 
keyboard). You can split the keyboard into upper and lower 
parts, or use an external MIDI keyboard to play the lower part 
of the VOX Continental.
The touch sensors can be used to control the drawbars.

E. PIANO part

and the sound variations for the FM-type electric piano. (See 
page 14)

5:

PIANO part

Selects the sound variations for the grand, upright, and electric 
grand piano sounds. The grand piano sound uses large, non-
looping waveform samples in full stereo sound across the 
keyboard for both delicate and powerful, richly expressive 
sound. (See page 14)

KEY/LAYER part

Selects various types of sound variations, such as clavinet, 
brass, strings, synthesizer and so on. (See page 14)
You can use the touch sensors to control the amp EG, filter or 
LFO.

Touch controls

You can simultaneously control multiple settings by touching 
the nine touch sensors with LEDs.
These sensors control the organ drawbars, KEY/LAYER filter, 
EG, LFO and the overall EQ settings. (See page 15)

your favorite variations or effects and instantly recall them 
during live performance or other situations. (See page 17)
The EXIT button is also used when making system settings.

Keyboard

The keyboard of the VOX Continental is velocity sensitive, but 
aftertouch is not supported. This keyboard features waterfall 
keys, making it possible to perform glissandos, trills and so on 
like with a vintage tonewheel organ. (See page 9)
