2.1 GENERAL FEATURES OF LEGEND SOLO
Legend Solo is a single-key digital organ, which can also be split into upper manual, lower manual and pedal,
that can simulate, thanks to the new sound generation technology TMT (Tonewheel Modeling Technology), all
the features of the electromechanical organ commonly known as Hammond.
This innovative synthesis technology with physical models takes into account all the factors that affect the
sound of the original organs, such as the perfect synchronization of the sound wheel, imperfect electrical
circuits, engine noises, etc ...
The instrument has two sets of nine drawbars, plus two drawbars for the Viscount optional pedalboard or any
other MIDI pedalboard. Without a pedalboard, these two drawbars can be played with the first two octaves of
the keyboard.
There are three general ways of operating the instrument:
- Single section mode to play one of the two drawbars sets along the entire keyboard extension;
- Two sections mode, Upper and Lower, the upper and lower manual of the electromechanical organs, each
with its own drawbars set, to be played in two distinct zones of the keyboard;
- Two sections mode, Upper and Lower, each with its own drawbars set, the Upper to be played with the
Legend Solo keyboard and the Lower to be played with an external keyboard connected to the [MIDI IN]
connector.
In addition to the drawbars, there are 4 presets that can be edited and stored freely by the user for each
section.
The keyboard is of "waterfall" type. Every organ effect and noise can be controlled through the panel. Options
include reverb level, reverb type, distortion, rotating speaker type, percussion, three-band equalizer, Keyclick
and Crosstalk noise.
The user can select three different types of electromechanical organ from different periods, each with its own
sound features: BC Model from the '30s, B3 Model from the '50s, A100 Model from the '70s.
There are also the typical effect controls, such as Vibrato and Chorus, percussion and the famous lever speed
switch of the Rotary loudspeaker. The organ makes it possible to simulate this speaker , but it is also possible
to connect a real one through the classic 11-pin connector on the back panel.
