NAMM: New VOX Continental?

MPS caught this image on fdiskc's NAMM set. Anyone know more about it? I'm not seeing this particular model on the VOX website.

  1. def a new model. the original never had a data knob or that many drawbars. i hope the keys don't break like the italian ones.

  2. And the trend of shameless rebranding continues:

  4. yeah that's definitely just a CX-3.

    if it is an _improved_ CX-3, it's exciting.

  6. I pulled a CX-3 Pic off of Korg and compared it. It is mostly the same. However there is a large knob to the right of the display screen on this Vox that doesn't appear on the CX3 and the buttons are different here as well.

    I hope it has a nice transistor organ model built in. Well, what would be the point of just painting up a CX3 and sticking a Vox badge on it?

  7. I know Korg is bragging about the analogue engineering done at their VOX division. Clearly this doesn't reach far enough to give the world a new analogue transistor organ.

    I wonder if this organ has separate contacts for every key like a real continental or the same crap velocity keyboard they have on the CX-3. I have my doubts.

    Great way to soil a classic brand, Korg. Best of luck with that.

    So people who don't know any better get suckered into buying the thing. Roland has been doing it for a few years now with their Juno-D/G series.
