Making Connections 2. Connecting audio devices
2. Connecting audio devices
The VOX Continental does not have built-in speakers. You will 
need to connect audio equipment such as powered monitor 
speakers or a stereo set, or use headphones in order to hear 
sound.
Connecting powered monitor speakers or a 
mixer
The audio outputs on the VOX Continental output at a 
higher signal level than ordinary home audio equipment 
like CD systems. For this reason, playing at an excessive 
volume may damage the connected speakers or audio 
equipment, so use caution with the volume level.
1 Turn down the volume on all of your connected 
equipment, and then turn off the power.
2 Connect the L/MONO and R jacks or the L and R (XLR) 
jacks from the OUTPUT of the VOX Continental to the 
audio input jacks of your powered monitor speakers or 
mixer.
The signals outputted from the OUTPUT L/MONO and R 
jacks are the same as those from the L and R (XLR) jacks. You 
can use both at the same time.
Note: If you’re using a monaural connection, connect to the L/
MONO jack.
Note: Setting the LIFT-GND switch
You may hear some noise as a result of a ground loop, 
depending on your power supply situation. This noise may be 
defeated in some cases by switching the LIFT-GND switch to 
the LIFT side.
Connecting the headphones
 Connect the 6.3 mm stereo phone plug of your headphones 
to the headphones jack on the VOX Continental.
The headphone jack of the VOX Continental will output the 
same signal as the OUTPUT jacks.
Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the headphone volume.
Note: The output from the OUTPUT jacks is not turned off 
even when headphones are connected to the headphone jack.
3. Connecting the pedals
You can control the sound of the VOX Continental using the 
foot pedals connected to each foot controller jack.
Note: The sensitivity of each pedal jack is set to a standard 
value when this instrument is shipped from the factory. If the 
pedal sensitivity does not respond appropriately for the pedals 
you are using, adjust the sensitivity.
(See “10. Calibrating the pedal”, page 22)
Adjusting the volume (or wah) with the pedal
 Connect the EXPRESSION jack of the included pedal to the 
CONTROL jack of the VOX Continental using the 
connection cable.
The volume can be adjusted depending on how hard you 
depress the pedal. On the ORGAN part variations, this 
controls the volume before the rotary speaker input. This 
recreates the effect of an expression pedal used with drawbar 
organs.
When the wah effect is used, this controls the amount of wah 
(default setting).
Note: This controls either the amount of wah or the volume, 
when using the wah effect.
(See “9. Wah pedal control”, page 22)
Switching between rotary speeds with the 
pedal
 Connect the pedal switch (Korg PS-1 or PS-3, sold 
separately) into the ROTOR SPEED jack.
Pressing the pedal will switch the speed of the rotary speaker 
simulation for the ORGAN part.
Controlling the damper using the pedal
 Connect the damper pedal (Korg DS-1H, sold separately) 
or pedal switch (Korg PS-1 or PS-3, sold separately) to the 
DAMPER jack.
When you press the pedal, the notes you’ve pressed will be 
sustained so that they will continue even after you take your 
hands off the keyboard.
Tip: With the Korg DS-1H damper, you’ll be able to take 
advantage of the “half-damper” effect, where the depth that 
you press the pedal will vary the amount of damper that’s 
applied.
