LEDs on the next touch sensor will start to light up and 
down.

LED lights as they move.
Do this until you have calibrated all the touch sensors from 
left to right.

able to play.

12. Restoring the VOX Continental 

to factory-set default settings

The VOX Continental can be returned to its factory default 
settings.

This will reset (initialize) the scene data and system 
setting data. Any newly created scene data will be 
overwritten, and your data will be lost. If you want to 
keep your scene data, save the data to a USB storage 
device (commercially available). Also, all system settings 
(including calibration data) will be reset, and you will 
need to make your settings and perform calibration once 
more.

While resetting, do not turn off the power, play the 
keyboard, or move any buttons, knobs or controllers. 
Doing so may cause the reset operation to fail, and you 
may be unable to use the instrument.

factory default settings.
The following characters will blink in the VARIATION 
displays, and after several seconds the keyboard will be 
able to be played normally.

reset operation.
