channels. If the pedals have been retracted they share a MIDI channel with the Lower
manual. The MIDI channel values are set inside the
Split: No matter which MIDI channel is received, all three instruments will be available to the
•
external MIDI device on that channel. They will be spread across the MIDI note range
according to the Split Point settings as defined in the
Bass: No matter which MIDI channel receives the note data, the Bass sound will be the only

one to respond. The organ keyboards will only be available to the cursor.
Lower: Any incoming data will trigger the Lower manual, regardless of its MIDI channel
•
setting. The other two instruments can only be played by the cursor, unless the pedals have
been retracted; in this case the Bass sound will be triggered below the split point by
incoming MIDI data.
Upper: Data received on any MIDI channel will trigger only the Upper manual; the other
•
instruments will respond only to the cursor as noted above, depending on the status of the
pedal board.
So there's an important point to emphasize about the first two MIDI Mode tab settings: when the
pedals have been retracted their MIDI channel will no longer respond to incoming data. The
lowest octave of the lower manual will play the bass sound instead on its MIDI channel.
Also, keep in mind the MIDI Mode tabs only determine the way VOX Continental V responds to
incoming MIDI data. They make no difference in what happens when notes are triggered by the
cursor. The presence or absence of the pedal board is the only factor that affects the way the
lower manual responds to the cursor.

3.5 Types of controls

The VOX Continental V has two basic types of controls: potentiometers and switches. Let´s take a
look at each.

3.5.1 Potentiometers

A potentiometer determines the value of a parameter when it is moved from one position to
another. There are two types of potentiometers:
Faders: these are called "drawbars" in VOX Continental V
•
Rotary: also known as "knobs", "pots" or "encoders".
•
To edit a drawbar, click on it and drag it up and down. This will increase or decrease the value of
the selected item, while displaying the new values in a small window near the drawbar.
