Vox Continental 61

CurrentReleased 2017

Korg's modern Continental: a light, semi-weighted 61-note waterfall board in scarlet, with VOX and Compact transistor organs next to a CX-3 tonewheel model, three electric pianos, three acoustic pianos and a Key/Layer section. A Nutube valve adds real grit to the organs. 7.2 kg, and the drawbars are touch strips rather than real ones.
