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.
