Viscount LEGEND ONE 61

A keyboard designed for organists who want to get straight to playing

With its straightforward layout, physical drawbars and waterfall action, this keyboard clearly belongs to the world of stage instruments dedicated to the organ. It is aimed at musicians looking for an immediate response under the fingers, quick editing on stage and the ability to expand their palette with electric pianos, synths, pads and even basses played from the pedalboard.

Its design, divided into several independent sections, gives it genuine flexibility, whether for jazz, gospel, vintage rock, pop or liturgical and studio applications. This is an instrument that focuses above all on ergonomics, customization and real-time sound control.

Keyboard design

The 61-note C-to-C waterfall keyboard features a light, fast action, particularly well suited to organ techniques such as glissandi, rapid repetitions and precise attacks. The 4 velocity curves plus 1 fixed mode allow you to fine-tune the response to your playing, while the Single, Split and Dual modes make it easy to divide the keyboard between several registers. The plus or minus 6-semitone transposition and plus or minus 2-octave range shift provide genuine flexibility for group playing, accompaniment or rapid key changes.

Sound quality

The organ section is based on TMT technology, “Tonewheel Modeling Technology”, with 91-note polyphony and several models inspired by major electromechanical instruments, along with pipe organs and more vintage tonal colors. The Sound 1/2 section uses HDS technology, “High Definition Sampling”, with 240-voice polyphony and 119 sounds covering pianos, electric pianos, synths, pads, strings, choirs, brass, guitars, chromatic percussion, bells and other keyboards. The Pedals section combines TMT and HDS to offer 22 bass models. The whole instrument is designed for high-quality external amplification, with highly detailed rotary cabinet simulation, a variety of reverbs, master EQ and advanced audio routing.

Built-in effects

The effects section offers a very comprehensive palette for live playing and sound shaping: Tremolo, vibrato, chorus, flanger, Phaser, wah, amp simulation, delay, ring mod, 3- and 5-band parametric EQs, 5-band graphic EQ, compressor and simple rot. It also includes 108 effects presets, 13 types of reverb, a programmable 3-band master EQ and a highly advanced Rotary Speaker section with Fast, Slow and Stop speeds, drive control, 8 presets plus 1 user configuration and numerous editing parameters.
