LEGEND SOUL ORGANS

Legend Soul line is born thanks to the Viscount centennial experience in projecting and making instruments. Our purpose was creating new digital tonewheels organs able to reproduce the original and iconic 9 contacts effect as much realistic as possible. After several studies, our engineers have managed to perfectly recreate all of them, using a unique technology patented by us. Thanks to that, when you play one of our Legend Soul, you will feel the iconic and realistic sounds of original tonewheels organ, but with all the advantages of the digital ones.

VISCOUNT Legend Soul 273 organ, designed and engineered in Italy in cooperation with Joey DeFrancesco, provides incredible expressive capabilities. It comes in a perfect portable solution with an easy-to-use interface. The Legend Soul 273 uses the latest in tonewheel modelling technology with the addition of our patented technology able to reproduce the iconic 9 contacts mechanic in digital way, allowing exigent musicians to play without compromise the fabulous original organ sound.

INTERFACE

FULL SET OF DRAWBARS
Legend Soul 273 has two full sets of 9 drawbars for the upper keyboard, two full sets of 9 drawbars for the lower keyboard and 2 pedal drawbars.
PERCUSSION
Located right where they belong are the rocker tabs to control the 2nd and 3rd harmonic percussion. Soft and normal percussion volume, fast and slow percussion decay.
TOPPER / UPPER / LOWER REALTIME CONTROLS
Topper Manual Realtime Controls include: Volume; Keyclick; Crosstalk; Reverb; Drive; Vibrato and Chours; Pedals Sustain; Percussion (Decay, Volume); Percussion (On-Off); Percussion Volume (Soft-Normal); Percussion Decay (Fast-Slow); Percussion Harmonic Selector (Third-Second)
Upper Manual Realtime Controls include: Edit; Exit; Transpose; Model (T.Wheels, Pipe, Transistor);
Lower Manual Realtime Controls include: Rotary/Amp Bypass; Pedals (Direct, To Lower), Equalizer (Bass, Middle, Treble); Effects (Ring Modulator, Flanger, Phaser, Wah, Tremolo, Delay).

VOLUME (SOFT/NORMAL) VIBRATO AND CHORUS
You can use vibrato/chorus independently for the upper and lower manuals or together. Use the familiar rotary control to select all three Vibrato and Chorus settings.

KEYBOARD

9 CONTACTS KEYBOARDS
Along with the best sound and being easy to play, Legend Soul 273 has two 73-note keyboards with the feel of a tonewheel organ. The innovation of Legend Soul line is the patent pending 9 contacts keyboard, which combined with the improved keyclick simulation, offers a unique richness of the harmonic components.

2 DRAWBARS PRESETS REALTIME CONTROLS
Two “Black Octaves” (one for each manual) are available on Legend Soul 273. You can change drawbars settings in real-time, like the original tonewheel organs; also there is the option of using the pre-sets keys as a proper key to play.

SOUND GENERATION

LATEST IN MODELING TECHNOLOGY
VISCOUNT Legend Soul 273 organ uses the innovative TMT (Tonewheel Modelling Technology) able to perfectly clone the classic tonewheel organ. The result is a natural sound that can’t be obtained by traditional sampling. In the Soul line our TMT has been combined with our patent pending 9 contacts keyboard and the improvement of the keyclick simulation, diversified on the 9 drawbar contacts, giving to Soul 273 a unique richness of the harmonic components and a realistic taste of the sounds.

CONNECTIONS
