Wow, very cool, the organ sounds on the original were so distinctive in the day, maybe this will be available by Summer NAMM. This URL is from a demo of an original...House of the Rising Korg and Come on Baby Lite My Vox

So we're curious if anyone ask the folks if there was an ARP 2600 revival in the future

Thanks for the NICE PICS!!!

How very Nord-ish. Not just the red color - but the drawbars.

Are those touch strips instead of drawbars, buttons, or just LEDs for display?

I would have preferred drawbars, but otherwise this is very cool.
Will it just be a Vox emulation (besides the other sounds), or will KORG also implement a Hammond tonewheel in the organ section?

Edit: I notice 'CX3' on one of the photos, so there's a virtual Hammond in there as well. I just hope they will change their minds about the touch strips...

I think Vox were there first with the colour scheme, and touch strips seem to be a natural choice to replace sliders :wink:

The Continental was the first combo organ I owned in '74... I seriously hated it, but it was all I could afford at the time. Some things are best left alone.

My phone refused to accurately capture the color which is Vox ORANGE, not Nord red.
