Viscount Legend '70s


Recommended Posts

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'.

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.

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.

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).

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. ;-)

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?

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.

That 1.08 update was pretty recent, but 1.09 is now the latest OS:  Legend 70s firmware

No sound updates in .09? 
 

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
