CLAVI module

The CLAVI module is dedicated to one of the most
renowned electric pianos of the '70: the Clavinet.
This module applies the Viscount PM technology

precisely the distinctive and brilliant sound of this
instrument, the top icon of funky music.
Panel controls are further expanded by many other
parameters that can be modified through the EDIT
PROGRAM menu (see Clavi section, page 45) and by
the Legend '70s Editor application.
The module includes the two most famous models of
this instrument, together with the classic equalizer and
pickup configuration controls.
