Description

The Viscount Legend Soul 273 reinterprets the excellence of the tonewheel organ in a contemporary form, combining the prestige of an Italian-developed design with Joey DeFrancesco’s artistic vision to deliver a refined, authoritative, and deeply inspiring sound experience. At the heart of the instrument lies TMT technology and the exclusive digital reproduction of the 9-contact action, capable of delivering an extremely expressive touch, a realistic key-click, and all the harmonic complexity that made the great vintage organs legendary. The two 73-key waterfall keyboards, dedicated physical drawbars, half-moon switch, and rich effects section featuring Vibrato, Chorus, Rotary, Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb complete an instrument designed for those who desire absolute control, tonal character, and uncompromising stage presence.Premium waterfall keyboards with 73 keys (61 + 12 reversed keys)Virtual 9 contact keyboardVintage transistor and pipe organ modelsEnhanced rotary simulationPowered DSP platform and new featuresTwo full sets of drawbars per manualHarmonic percussionImproved keyclick simulation, diversified on the 9 drawbar contactsEffects volume vibrato and chorusUpper and lower real-time controlsHalf-moon switch11-pins Leslie(R) connectorImproved Fx send/returnUSB power chargerSOUND GENERATIONTechnologyTMT (Tonewheel Modelling Technology)Transposer-6 +5 semitonesFine tuning427.5 Hz – 452.9 Hz (+/- 50 cent)Organ modelsOptions of different Tonewheels, Pipe, and Transistor models.
