Red-hot transistor hitmaker.
Vox® organs produced the indelible sounds of The Doors, The Animals, Elvis Costello, and even a few Beatles tracks. Vox Continental V puts this sizzling sound front and center in your mix, combining faithful modeling with modern software convenience. Light your fire.
The rebirthof cool
Warbling and resonant, the Vox organ was one of the only ways to get hot new sounds onstage before synthesizers went mainstream.
Thanks to our TAE® technology, you can enjoy the Continental 300 in all its transistor organ glory, then take it places the original couldn’t go.
Going far beyond the capabilities of any sample set, Vox Continental V models the circuit behavior and every other nuance of the Continental 300, a rare and desirable dual-manual organ. We added an extended mode with more drawbars, and even let you get inside the machine to tweak its electronic quirks.

VOX Continental V goes beyond faithful emulation. Expanded controls, a preset library, and even a built-in FX rig meets every production need.
Always Ready
Drop Continental V directly into your tracks with no hassle and minimal CPU impact. It’s like having Ray Manzarek on speed dial.
From Englandto Italy
Vox is famous for guitar amps that defined the sound of the British Invasion. Tom Jennings saw the potential for keyboards that rocked just as hard.
Jennings had built home and church organs until the 1950s. His first portable keyboard was the Univox, a monophonic preset “synth” that mounted on a piano and gave the player extra instrument sounds. Jennings, designers Derek Underdown and Les Hills, and the Thomas organ company then teamed up with Italian manufacturer EKO to design the Continental whose sound we know from The Doors’ “Light My Fire,” The Animal’s “House of the Rising Sun,” “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Iron Butterfly, and so many more classics.
