WATERFALL KEYBOARD

Along with the best sound and being easy to play, Legend Solo has a heavy-duty 61-notes keyboard with the feel of an organ, not a synthesizer or cheap portable keyboard. If you play pedals, then you can purchase the optional 25 full-sized console pedals. The Legend pedals are heavy-duty and are same radius as the classic tonewheel organs, which makes playing the pedals feel right.

LATEST IN MODELLING TECHNOLOGY

The VISCOUNT by KeyB Legend Solo organ, designed in cooperation with NEWTONE, uses the innovative TMT (Tonewheel  Modelling Technology) able to perfectly clone the classic tonewheel organ. The result is a natural sound that can not be obtained by traditional sampling. Legend Solo reproduces also important characteristics of a tonewheel organ including cross talk, tonewheels flutter, electric hum and octave tapers. Moreover there is also an accurate Rotary Simulation. Maybe you do not have one or it is not convenient to take a rotary speaker with you. Don’t worry! The Legend Solo Simulation is incredibly realistic. It is so good you will have to look twice to see where the rotors are, this is because of the TMT engine.
