jeffincltnc Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I can"t see this as being marketed as a workstation with a name like 'Legend 70"s' and a catalog of mostly electro mechanical keyboard emulations. It"s looking to me like it"s squarely up against retro style boards like Crumar Seven, Nord Grand, Korg SV2, etc TP/100 is definitely moving this from 'GAS' to 'Pass'.

mate stubb Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 NEW TP-100? Pray tell - haven't heard anything about this. Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 It"s going to be compared to the Seven no matter what, even if it has better midi implementation and is expandable. The TP-100 on the Seven is actually really good feeling for Rhodes. It plays the acoustic piano patches like poop. Needs some major work on the dynamic curves to get that right. Just my opinion but A/Bing with a CP88 didn"t help at all. Revised TP-100? Yes first I"ve heard of this as well, the proof is in the pudding. Then I"m guessing the 88 has the TP-40W with triple sensor? Maybe Viscount can update their specs to clarify this for us.

hardware Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yeah, please update the information and throw in the Master MIDI / EXT. Module functions info too. I can see my SE-02, HX-3.5 and hacked WaveState sitting on top. Hoping Robert D. still is their NAmerica guy.

hardware Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Great news from Viscount. Most modules are self explanatory, but they"re still writing the manual for External Module. Appears more than one can be used which is great news. Quote Magnus C350 + FMR RNP + Realistic Unisphere Mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElmerJFudd Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Something about the faceplate screams to have an analogue VU meter included. The acoustic pianos in this demo are much better than what they shared earlier. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherScott Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The one real live performance shortcoming I see in this design is that all the patch navigation seems to require scrolling. I wonder if they could possibly have a mode to repurpose the 6 clav buttons to function as program select buttons when you were not using them for clav sound manipulation. If you made the first button "hold to select bank" and made the subsequent buttons function as 1 to 5, you could theoretically have 25 button-recallable user presets (5 banks of 5). Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open nature of swapping modules perhaps means that there"s room for different user interface for patch design, store, recall. Did they do a software editor for the combined modules?

Al Coda Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The one real live performance shortcoming I see in this design is that all the patch navigation seems to require scrolling. I wonder if it´s possible to change banks, programs and setups/multis (or what it´s called on this toy) via MIDI and if that functionality also requires the "External MIDI" module. It´s pretty obvious, for the compact model, one has to sacrifice one of the sound modules for the external module. All sound modules plus external module only fit the 88-keys version. A.C.

RELEASE: 1.09 – A new option has been added that allows you to choose whether the values of the continuous pedals and modulations must be reset at the program change or kept also for the new program (previously they were reset). (see PREFERENCES -> FC1 Mode, FC2 Mode, MOD. Mode) – All parameters of the Synth module are now controllable via MIDI using Control Change, in MultiChannels mode. See the table in the appendix of the Synth-8 module manual for details of the Control Changes used – Introduced the reception and transmission of the Fine Tuning MIDI SysEx – Bug Fix: in case of program change with pedal switch pressed, switching from a program with the EXT part enabled to a program with the EXT part disabled, the switches off were not transmitted Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
