13. Saving the scene data

13. Saving the scene data

This saves the 16 scenes that have been saved on or written to 
the VOX Continental, to a USB storage device (commercially 
available) that is connected via the USB A port.
For instance, you can save the scenes that you created at home 
to a USB flash drive, and then load the data file into another 
VOX Continental at the studio or onstage to recreate your data.
You can create, save and manage your data by project, so that 
you can recall the scenes you need at any time.

1

Plug a USB storage device into the USB A port of the VOX 
Continental.

Note: 

The USB A port on this instrument supports hot-

plugging (meaning that the USB media/cable can be 
removed while the power is turned on).

2

Hold down the EXIT button and press the BANK 

 

button.
The characters 

 will be shown in the VARIATION 

displays of the E. PIANO, PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.
The BANK A LED will blink, and the value will be shown 
in the VARIATION display of the ORGAN part.

3

Set the file number using the ORGAN part VARIATION 

 buttons.

A file number from 00 to 99 can be set.

If a file with the same file number is already saved in the 
USB storage device, a dot will be shown in the bottom 
right-hand corner of the number.

4

Push the BANK

 button to save.

The BANK A LED will blink quickly while the data is 
saved, and will return to its previous state after saving is 
finished.

Push the EXIT button to cancel the settings.

If a file with the same file number that you selected in step 

3

 already exists in the USB storage device, the word 

 

will blink in the VARIATION displays of the E.PIANO, 
PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.
Press the BANK 

 button to overwrite the file.

Storage media that can be used

USB storage devices, such as MS-DOS FAT16 or FAT32-
formatted flash media or disks

Maximum usable storage capacity

FAT32: Up to 2 TB (2000 GB)
FAT16: Up to 4 GB

When saving to storage media, the “VOX/Continental” 
directory will automatically be created in the media’s root 
directory. This directory will be used exclusively by the VOX 
Continental.
When you save the scene data, a file named 
“CONTINENTAL_00.SCE” will be saved in this directory.
The 00 digits will be replaced with the file number you set.

Note: 

If the media format is not MS-DOS, FAT16 or FAT32, an 

error message (

Err

) will be shown in the VARIATION displays 

of the PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.
Press the EXIT button to escape, and format the storage media 
on your computer.
If there is very little free space remaining on the storage media 
and data cannot be saved, the message 

Err

 will be displayed.

In this case, delete any unnecessary files from the storage 
media to free up disk space, or use a different storage media 
with more capacity.

When loading a .SCE file from storage media, only the 
.SCE files in the “VOX/CONTINENTAL” directory can 
be shown and selected for loading. Note that if you 
change the directory, folder hierarchy or filename using 
your computer, you will no longer be able to load the file. 
The VOX Continental recognizes filenames that look like 
“CONTINENTAL_xx.SCE”. If you change the file name 
or extension on a computer or other device, the VOX 
Continental will recognize this as an undefined file, and 
will not be able to load it.

14. Loading the scene data

You can load scene data (16 scenes) back into the VOX 
Continental, which was previously saved to a USB storage 
device (commercially available).

Doing this will load scene data into memory. Any 
factory-set default data or scene data that you have 
edited and saved on this instrument will be overwritten, 
and the data will be lost. If you want to keep your scene 
data, save the data to a USB storage device.

1

Plug the USB storage device where you saved your scene 
data into the USB A port of this instrument.

Note: 

The USB A port on the VOX Continental supports 

hot-plugging (meaning that the USB media/cable can be 
removed while the power is turned on).

2

Hold down the EXIT button and press the BANK 

 

button.
The characters 

L o AD

 will be shown in the VARIATION 

displays of the E. PIANO, PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.
The BANK D LED will blink, and a value will be shown in 
the VARIATION display of the ORGAN part (all other 
VARIATION displays will go dark).

3

Set the file number using the ORGAN part VARIATION 

 buttons.

You can select a file number that is saved in the USB 
storage device.

Note: 

If there is no file that can be loaded, an error message 

(

Err

) will be shown in the VARIATION displays of the 

PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.

4

Push the BANK 

 button to load.

The characters 

 will be shown in the VARIATION 

displays of the E. PIANO, PIANO and KEY/LAYER parts.

5

Push the BANK 

 button to begin loading.

The BANK D LED will blink quickly while the data is 
loaded, and will return to its previous state after loading is 
finished.

Push the EXIT button to cancel the settings.
