The rebirth of cool
Warbling and resonant, the Vox organ was one of the only ways to get hot new sounds onstage before synthesizers went mainstream. Thanks to ARTURIA’s TAE® technology, you can enjoy the Continental 300 in all its transistor organ glory, then take it places the original couldn’t go.

Going far beyond the capabilities of any sample set, Vox Continental V models the circuit behavior and every other nuance of the Continental 300, a rare and desirable dual-manual organ. We added an extended mode with more drawbars, and even let you get inside the machine to tweak its electronic quirks.

Drop Continental V directly into your tracks with no hassle and minimal CPU impact. It’s like having Ray Manzarek on speed dial.

From England to Italy
Vox is famous for guitar amps that defined the sound of the British Invasion. Tom Jennings saw the potential for keyboards that rocked just as hard.

Jennings had built home and church organs until the 1950s. His first portable keyboard was the Univox, a monophonic preset “synth” that mounted on a piano and gave the player extra instrument sounds. Jennings, designers Derek Underdown and Les Hills, and the Thomas organ company then teamed up with Italian manufacturer EKO to design the Continental whose sound we know from The Doors’ “Light My Fire,” The Animal’s “House of the Rising Sun,” “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Iron Butterfly, and so many more classics.

Vox In the Box
ARTURIA duplicated all the original controls and behaviors of the fabled Continental 300 for the faithful transistor organ experience. Then they added guitar amp and rotary speaker modeling and vintage pedal FX. It’s the most perfectly authentic Vox experience you can have short of owning the real thing.

Beyond Continental
Extended mode packs more of everything players loved about the Continental. Then, the Advanced Panel lifts the lid for customization – no soldering required!

After being ousted from his own company in 1967, Tom Jennings kept designing combo organs with more features. With one click, Continental V becomes the Vox that might have been.

More Drawbars
Extended mode offers eight drawbars per manual and an additional sawtooth waveform for tonal control on par with a B-3.

More Modulation
Fine-tune the rate and depth of tremolo and vibrato. Your sound will never be static or boring!

Vintage ‘Verbs
State-of-the-art convolution technology reproduces the classic spring and plate reverbs often used with the Vox organ.

Tune Each Note
Tuning screws for each note’s generator dial in just the right amount of detuning for a completely authentic sound.

Aged Like Fine Wine
Select the Continental engine or the even rarer Jennings J70. Bring in hum and key contact randomness to simulate a Vox of any vintage!
