4. Connecting to a MIDI device 

or computer

An external MIDI keyboard or sequencer can be connected to 
the VOX Continental in order to control its sound generator; or 
the keyboard and touch sensors on the VOX Continental can 
be used to control an external MIDI sound generator.
For details on connecting via MIDI, refer to the 
“VOX Continental

 

MIDI Setting Guide” (PDF).

Playing an external MIDI keyboard with LOWER 
(lower part of the keyboard) on the organ

There are two types of settings on the ORGAN part variations, 
one for UPPER (the upper part of the keyboard) and one for 
LOWER (the lower part of the keyboard). An external MIDI 
keyboard can be played as the LOWER part. (See page 20)

Turning the Power On/Off

1. Turning the power on

1

Turn the VOLUME knob on the VOX Continental all the 
way to the left so that the volume is down.
Make sure that the volume on any external output devices 
that are connected (such as powered monitor speakers) is 
turned down and that the power is turned off.

2

Press the power button on the VOX Continental.
All of the touch sensor LEDs will light, and the keyboard 
will be ready to play once a number is shown in the 
VARIATION display.

3

Turn on the power of the external output devices that are 
connected to the OUTPUT jacks of the VOX Continental, 
such as powered monitor speakers.

4

Adjust the VOLUME knobs on the VOX Continental and 
on your external equipment to set the volume to a suitable 
level.

2. Turning the power off

Scenes that have not been saved will be lost when the 
power is turned off, so be sure to save them beforehand. 

(See page 11)

1

Lower the volume on your powered monitor speakers or 
other external output device, and then turn off their power.

2

Turn the VOLUME knob on the VOX Continental all the 
way to the left.

3

Hold down the power button on the rear panel of the VOX 
Continental. When 

OFF

 is shown in the VARIATION 

displays of the PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts, release the 
power button.

The instrument is storing its settings while 

OFF

 is shown. 

Make sure that the AC adapter stays plugged in until 

OFF

 

is no longer shown. Failure to do so may cause a 
malfunction.

When a set period of time has passed without playing the 
keys, turning the knobs or pressing the buttons on the 
VOX Continental, the power will turn off. This function is 
called “

auto power off

”, and the factory-set default is 4 

hours. This time can be adjusted. (See page 21)
