[Korg Vox Continental � how's it holding up 2 years later?]

After 8 months of use , i can see some uneveness (not that much) in all keys if you watch them carefully but i don't have any problems on playing so it's ok!

Well i can see a height uneveness on the youtube video too on that first note as you see but it seems to be a little one if your's is that little too. Mine 2-3 keys also are not totatlly on the same height position but the difference is super small. don't think that it is a problem really.

Thank you for your answer!Had a nord electro 5d 61 before and i can say that vox has really better EP,synth sounds and vox/farfisa sounds...it's a pity it is still so underated keyboard!

Heys guys!Finally got a Vox continental 61! I think keyboard action is good but i can hear a little squeaking noise on lowest C note when you press it medium to hard.All other keys don't have that sound/noise. Is it normal and safe? Does your voxy has that noise on lowest key or some keys?

Guys how can you like this keyboard for something more than electric pianos?Accoustic pianos are bad , B3/Lesie is much worse and thinner than Nord's one and ''other'' sounds are not that good and plenty.Come on it doesn't even have a simple warm pad sound or a decent brass sound.And the most important thing!I was shocked when i found out that Farfisa and Vox sounds are really ''toy like'' and not that fat.Especially farfisa sound.I mean that this keyboard was created for it's Vox/Farfisa (or it should be) sound but they are not that good at all compared to a Nord.It's a really beautifyl instrument but i think you can find these sounds on Mainstage/VST.Anyway really nice feeling on rhodes/wurli sounds but nothing more!

 

Speaking as someone who owns one and likes it, I nevertheless have to be honest and say it's difficult to say this keyboard is a good bang for the buck, or is something lots of people should own. Honestly I think it's a quirky niche keyboard that only a few people will own, but that is endowed with quality, uniqueness, and some strikingly endearing attributes. I would also point out that much of your dissertation is subjective. Are the acoustic pianos "bad"? Every digital piano has its fans and detractors, but lots of people like the Korg pianos and the Vox has a smattering of the best of them on board, and they are very playable considering it's a semi-weighted keyboard. I suppose it would be really damning if the transistor organ emulations were not good. I don't feel I'm one to judge having never played the originals, but I've read many a positive review of them.

 

You are right and this is just my opinion!I just didn't surprise when i tested the instrument like i did when i first tested a Nord or Mainstage.It is subjective what someone likes or not.

Guyz what about the organ tunes?Are you satisfied with CX-3 machine?And of course can you compare it to Nord's one?
