Vox Continental V

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

Vox Continental V is a physical modeling software synthesizer that faithfully recreates the classic VOX Continental electronic organ, a staple of 1960s rock and pop music. It combines the authentic additive synthesis sound of the original instrument with modern digital controls, effects processing, and performance features unavailable on the original hardware. This plugin brings the iconic "bright," "airy" tone that cut through guitar-heavy mixes on countless hit records to modern DAWs.
