Viscount Legend ’70s Artist-W Extended Stage Piano STUDIO KIT

v1.10 Firmware Update
The v1.10 firmware update introduces significant enhancements to the Legend ’70s. The Acoustic Piano module now includes a characteristic Resonance effect, with adjustable parameters like Damper Resonance, String Resonance, Soundboard Size, Duplex Scale, and Absorption, allowing users to fine-tune the acoustic piano sound for greater realism and expressiveness. Additionally, the Sound Collection module has been upgraded to version 2.00, adding 19 new sounds and improving 2 existing ones. New sounds span categories such as STRINGS, BRASS, ORGAN, BASS, and OTHERS, with features like monophonic mode and adjustable portamento for Synth Lead-type sounds. The update also introduces new sound controls, a Ring Modulation effect, and fixes for the Rotary effect and arpeggiator tempo accuracy.

Design
Designed and engineered in Italy, Viscount Legend ’70s provides incredible expressive capabilities with a customizable interface in a perfect portable solution. The combinations of easy-to-use powerful sound modules in a compact and vintage cabinet offers demanding musicians an instrument without compromise.

Modular interface
Legend ’70s introduces, for the first time, the concept of a modular stage piano. According to your needs, you can now choose the right combination of sound-generating modules with dedicated knobs and buttons, including Electric Piano, Acoustic Piano, Clavi, Sound Collection and External. Many other modules will be available in the future within this ever-growing family.

Keyboard
The design of the Legend ’70s hammer action keyboard perfectly matches the instrument’s sound generators, with three three contact sensors under each key to detect every nuance of your playing at a high level of precision.

Connections
Legend ’70s is equipped with a full complement of connections, including 5-pin MIDI, USB to host/device and several foot controller inputs.

Controls
The Legend ’70s controls are powerful and easy to use. There is the Effects section, where you can control the reverb and a wide range of modulation effects, while in the Program section, with the support of a clear display, you can change different functions of the instrument. Moreover, in the Artist Extended models, an External module is included as interface for external devices such as another sound module or a computer with virtual instruments.

Sound generation
Each module installed in Legend ’70s has its own sound generator specially designed to reproduce its sound set. This arrangement gives a great advantage over the whole instrument’s polyphony, avoiding the ‘sound generator processor share’ that affects all competitors’ sampled pianos when many sounds are played in at the same time. The Acoustic Piano and Sound Collection modules are powered by High-Definition Sampling technology that provides detailed sampling of acoustic instruments and the ability to reproduce the entire dynamic range of each instrument.

Software editor
Legend ’70s Editor is a free software program that makes programming all the parameters of the instrument easier and faster, allowing the most demanding users access to parameters that are not available on the instrument. It is also possible to save your settings and reload them whenever you want. Moreover, it provides dedicated environments for the use of the instrument during live performance. The software is available for both macOS and Windows operating systems and works with all models of Legend ’70s.
