The Continental is no longer necessary today.
Thankfully.
Pretty though.

Sorry, no. That's a ROMpler with a VOX logo stuck onto it.
Which is not to say I wouldn't have given a limb to own one of these in 1969, had it existed.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Edit = this synth is not a rompler anyways
OP
there's nothing wrong with romplers per se. In fact, romplers are so important to good music production. I'd even argue that it is way more important for a music producer to be good at sampling than it is for him to be good at sound design on a synth.
I used to be all foolishly anti-rompler, but if you think about it... "how layered is the bass on a rompler? how layered are the pads?"
Some of the pads and some of the bass on romplers are so layered and so fat, that you will be banging your head against the wall trying to get that fatness from your vst synths.
The thing about this vox thing is not that its a rompler. Its hardware. its expensive. And if I had the $2000 to go ahead and buy it with.. I would. just like I would a Nord Lead 4, or an Access Virus. Dude, if money was no object I'd have a 10000 guitar collection.
Reality = I use software because it is 100% as good as hardware. You get infinite recall, infinite possibilities, and so much more for your money than hardware. For $2000 you can buy so much software..
But yeah, so I didn't really understand why a rompler years ago. What the whole point about a rompler was. but I do now.. I'm all for em. they are very important.
Yeah I'd love to buy this Vox thing... lol. I do have one sick piece of hardware right now. I have a Headrush Pedalboard...

 I'm just curious how this orange-colored keyboard is called "distinctive scarlet colored."  This one IS scarlet colored.
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

Sorry, I stand corrected. It's pre-recorded waveforms, not samples. Still not a Continental.

When I need something quick, I use the SuperVX in UVI's Retro Organ Suite. It has about 20+20 (normal + vibrato) presets that cover a decent range of the original's sounds.
Heck, back in the late '60s, I had to play 96 Tears on my Farfisa mini. I was in high school and couldn't come close to affording a Continental.
So, currently OK for my needs. I prefer the suggestion to spend the $2K on software. First up? SD3 upgrade!

And also just to add - music software has become so cheap. I mean, if 10 yrs ago it was way cheaper to buy music software than it was to buy hardware, now music software is essentially pennies compared to hardware. unlimited music softwares are on permanent sale right now. The only things still costing actual money have huge sample libraries; again, the importance of sampling in modern music. SD3, BFD 3, UVI, Spectrasonics... these types of things still cost, "a few hundred dollars." but eq, compression, reverb, daws... you can pick this stuff up for pennies. Even BFD 3.. I just bought BFD 3 with 5 expansions, used... $200. The only reason I am not jumping on the incredible Waves sale that is going on is that I have more software compressors than I have fingers and toes... I have random eq's, and reverbs that I haven't used in 8 years.. cause I'm drowning in vst plugins. What I need to buy doesn't go on sale. Like, "mastering grade studio monitors" where are those $29 sales? lmao
