Vox Continental vs Reface YC
HTML-код

- a quick comparison of a 1966 Italian Vox Continental V301E and the V wave on the Yamaha Reface YC organ.
In general it sounds pretty close. The most glaring thing is the Yamaha doesn't allow you to adjust the sine and triangle waves separately. It sounds like it's a mix between the two at full.
I would take the Reface (probably with a full-size MIDI controller if I was going to play out somewhere and wanted the Vox sound.
They should have made the Reface with reversed color keys. I LOVE my Reface.
I've been hoping for a Reface II with more controls. They could have offered reverse keys as an option or limited edition. They clearly knew clonewheels are the highest interest. I play the H more than any other.
@@phlattgetit I believe the Korg SV-1 had an option for the reverse-color keyboard, which maybe costed about $50 more than the standard price (something like that). I used to own an original Yamaha DX-7, and the smaller DX-21, so when I heard about the Reface DX I was giddy with excitement. Turns out, the Reface is even better than I expected! It's easier to program than a DX-7 (although, I actually enjoyed programming the old one and I didn't think it was *too hard*), and the tones are 100% on-point. In terms of the YC - yes, the Hammond preset is really great. I've used it on almost all of the recent songs I've uploaded to my channel... I have the DX and the YC hooked up into a mixer, both in stereo, plus a mono channel for the digital piano, and another mono channel for guitar. It goes into two amps + a monitor, and it just fills the room! I recently ordered the Reface CS, and I'm just waiting for it to arrive. I plan on getting the CP as well, but for some reason they are out of stock where I live (Southern Thailand). These Reface keyboards are total winners! They're good enough for professionals, but they're easy enough for beginners. I encourage people who are just starting to learn piano to get a Reface, that way they'll have a good keyboard for life, rather than just getting a crappy Casio and later trading it in for something better...
@@creamydistortion Nord released a limited edition anniversary Norlead 2 with reverse keys. I toyed with the idea of using one of those and a drawbar controller in a custom box controlling the Combo Model V software.
i love the yamaha refae
Love this demonstration, the Reface seems to have the best Continental emulation of any modern keyboard!
Only other one that probably could is the Crumar Mojo 61.
What about korg?
Thank you--have copied your settings and mine's sounding much more authentic now. Another thumbs up for the Reface YC
Keep 5 1/3 and 1 1/3 pushed in. Continental didn't have those. However you set 2 2/3,2,1 3/5 and 1 keep them the same length because Vox has all of those on one drawbar. Keep the percussion off and the Leslie off, Use vibrato and not chorus and you have it dialed in pretty close. Keep rocking!
For $399. usd, it does the job. Let's be real... 95% of your average people listening wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two in a mix.
Probably not. That wasn't really the intention of my video. Many couldn't tell the Vox from a Hammond. I obviously approve of the YC I own one. It's Hammond Sound is one of the best.
More like 99.9% can't tell.😂
So close ,in a mix the difference would be inaudible ❤ I just purchased a YC reface 🥳
H = Hammond (American)
V = Vox (British)
F = Farfisa (Italian)
A = Ace-Tone Roland (Japanese)
Y = Yamaha (Japanese)
this gives me 96 tears.
very interesting. thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
very pleased with my modern Vox Continental 73 which I've owned for a few years now.
For my reface, I made a stand for a pair of YC with a small stereo line mixer to create a mini dual manual, it worked great except for too few keys.
If I was to do it over again, I'd get a Vox Continental 61 and use one of my 61 key MIDI controllers for the lower manual.
Sounds like a cool set-up. You should post it.
@@phlattgetit Thanks, it's packed away for now, and I have my Continental 73 along with other organs, resulting in a severe lack of space for more or to live lol. Cheers!
If you can find one in good condition, try the Roland A-37 controller. I use mine to control my reface Cp and a Yamaha MX49.
It makes you wonder whether you should favor the digital emulation over the original.
VOX Baratom! Nagyon hasznos a videod. Az a megfigyelesem, ha egy Doors zenei videot nezek, a ket fekete rud mindig ki van huzva, a fehereket csokkentik amennyit kell. Viszont V allasban ugy tunik a Reface hozza teszi a ket kihuzott fekete rudat. Yamahanal eldontottek ha a kapcsolo V, akkor tessek Doors zenet jatszani :) Egy VOX Continental 300 as orgonam van, azon a rudak fent 16-8-4-II-III ilyenkor nem kell az 5 1/3, 1 1/3. Lent 8-4-2-IV ilyenkor nem kell a 16, 5 1/3, 1 1/3. Lent van egy kis elteres, mert a IV es keverekben is van 2 es, es kulon is van 2 es. Majd kiserletezek, mikor hasonlit a Reface legjobban a VOX 300 hoz. Lehet kicsit elter a Reface hangja, de mindig meg fogom neki bocsatani, mikor szuleimhez viszem a hatizsakomban oromot okozni vele, es kozben nem kell fuvarost fogadnom.
Glad it was useful to you.
I like my Reface YC , awesome , awesome ! Beautiful sound and feeling and , just great . Put batteries and make organ sound everywhere , fabulous . For the price , GO for IT !
Mine is under my desk , appear in my face in a second , always where and when I want it to be , never let me down , never backoff , just THERE ! o 0''7
Nice vídeo! Thank you so much.
Do you think It sounds better than the Arturia VST? I have It and for me It sounds like unnatural. Does the Yamaha Reface give that hint of authenticity? Best
Thank-you. It's been some time since I tried the Arturia. I agree with you it seems to be lacking. the reface sounds some better than it. Just more fun to play. If you can find a copy of Combo Model V it sounds more authentic than Arturia or Reface. ruclips.net/video/nz2Q12tH6eU/видео.html
It dissapeared from his site about the time Arturia came out with their version. I'm wondering if they didn't buy him out or some other deal?
There may be some copies of copies around though.
A very acurate and nice Connie is included with the Crumar Mojo 61. You also get other organs and pianos that are all good. You can't play them all together but in a pinch you could play a gig with that and a synth. This thing is a joke.
A joke? Yeah, I sure have a laugh while I’m jamming outside with friends and family with the built in speakers and batteries.
Not everything is made for you. Sit down wyt boy.
Do you still feel you’d take the reface over the Continental? (Strictly on sound, not portability, etc.)
Absolutely Not!!! Did I give that impression? The sound of the Continental is much superior to the Reface. However, If I was going on a tour I'd take the Reface and use the H sound without the rotary effect. A better combo sound then the V setting. For portability and reliability and cheaper to replace if lost, stolen or damaged. Although as of right now the Reface is difficult to find.
@@phlattgetit I have the Jaguar, and I love the sound, but same issues with portability. I was thinking of getting the YC but sounds like easier said than done.
Wow, great work! can you also emulate the organ Gibson g101?
Thanks. The Gibson isn't one of the models emulated by the Yamaha. You might be able to get sound that is similar.
@@phlattgetit thanx
Reface
I get this slight tapping noise when i press a key on the V setting on the reface, is that normal?
Is your percussion tab on? They do have a percussion for the V. It's not authentic to the Vox. Make sure the left red percussion tab is down for V sounds.
@@phlattgetit Yeah they're down i never have the percussion on. the sound is like a very soft tapping sound everytime i press a key but it only happens on the V setting.
@@GazBobArt I listened to mine, bot hearing what you describe, Sounds like you may want to send an email to Yamaha.
i will trade my v301h for a v301e
why??
@@jameslarge434 nevermind the v301e is shit
if we'll maintained,they aren't shit. However,why trade wood keys for plastic?
