Operate the drawbars by touching the touch sensors with
your fingers. You can control more than one drawbar at the
same time.

Tip:

Sliding your finger up and down

the LEDs will make it easier to turn
them on/off.

Tip:

The sensors operate as on/off

switches for each tone when the organ
type is set to COMPACT. Touch the bottom half of each bar
to switch the tones on, and touch the top half to switch the
tones off. (See the right side of the diagram shown below.)

Note:

When switching to a different type or variation of the

same part, the touch sensor settings you have changed will be
switched to the settings for each variation. Also, when the
power is turned off, the touch sensor settings will be erased.

Note:

To save the touch sensor settings that you have adjusted

for each sound, save the scene. (See page 11)

Note:

The settings cannot be saved to the variations

themselves.

Keyboard

The keyboard of the VOX Continental is velocity sensitive, but
aftertouch is not supported. This keyboard features waterfall
keys (the keys are slightly sloped towards the player, and
feature smooth edges).
When playing sounds other than organ type sounds, your
playing strength (velocity) can affect aspects of the sound such
as the volume and the EG speed, allowing you to vary the
character of the attack.
You can also use the DYNAMICS knob to instantly adjust how
the volume and tone will be changed in response to how hard
the keys are played (velocity) (See page 12).
For organ type sounds, you can set whether the tone will
sound at the shallower part of the keyboard or at the deeper
part of the keyboard. You can play glissandos, trills and so on
like with a vintage tonewheel organ (See page 21). You can
also split the keyboard into UPPER (upper part of the
keyboard) and LOWER (lower part of the keyboard), or play in
