The Legend One features the ultimate technologies of the Legend series such as the physical modeling synthesis engine of our organs and the top-quality sounds and effects of our stage pianos, all in one professional keyboard specifically designed to perform.

Authentic reproduction of classic organ models

Legend One is equipped with the innovative TMT (Tonewheel Modeling Technology) sound generation of our premium Legend Soul products, capable of reproducing with incredible realism the sound of the tone wheels of electromechanical organs, taking into account all the imperfections such as key clicks, crosstalk noises, motor noises that have made this organ iconic. Special care has been reserved for the simulation of the percussion, the Vibrato/Chorus and the Rotary Speaker effects. In addition, several models of vintage transistor organs and pipe organs are also provided.

High quality additional sounds

Two dedicated sound sections provide a large selection of sounds such as acoustic and electric pianos, synths, pads, strings, choirs, guitars, brass, and many others, taking advantage of the Viscount HDS (High Definition Sampling) technology, which employs the best multi-sampling techniques to recreate the sound wave in real time, according to the pitch and velocity of each note. Moreover, a special section is dedicated to bass sounds, which includes not only organ pedals, but also acoustic and electric basses, synth basses and more. The Organ section, the Sound sections and the Pedals section can be played together to achieve the perfect sound. 

Different types of effects

In addition to the Vibrato/Chorus and Rotary Speaker effects dedicated to the Organ section, Legend One features three independent Effect slots that can be assigned to individual and multiple sections. There are classical effects such as Tremolo, Vibrato, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Wah, Ring Modulator as well as Delay, Equalizer, Compression and a wide range of Amplifiers. All effects have been designed to recreate the sound of legendary hits of all time. Finally, the Master Reverb to simulate natural sound reflections in various acoustic environments and the three-band Master Equalizer to adjust the overall tonal response of the instrument complete the effects chain.

Keyboard and panel controls

Legend One features a semi weighted “waterfall” keyboard with velocity sensitivity in the 61-key version, and semi weighted "piano shaped" keys in the 73-key version, ideal for playing organ sounds, but also capable of providing the right feel for dynamic piano sounds. The front panel provides two sets of 9 drawbars to control the Upper and Lower manual of the organ, and two drawbars for the Pedals, for a total of 20 drawbars that can even be assigned to additional sounds, for real-time control of parameters. Moreover, all the traditional controls of the electromechanical organ are available on the panel, such as percussion, Vibrato/Chorus independently for Upper and Lower, as well as the speed control of the Rotary effect. And many other controls can be used to modify the effects, reverb and equalization during live performance.

High connectivity

The instrument provides main and auxiliary audio outputs, a dedicated pedals output and an 11-pin rotary speaker connector to pair the Legend One with a real external rotary speaker and change the speed of the rotors from the instrument panel. Many types of foot controllers and foot switches are supported, for dedicated control of sustain, expression, Rotary switch and much more. Additionally, the traditional MIDI In and MIDI Out are provided, with the possibility of using the powerful master keyboard functionality that the instrument offers, as well as a dedicated MIDI Input to directly connect an external MIDI pedalboard to play along with the manual. Moreover, the Class Compliant USB Audio / MIDI interface allows you to receive and reproduce the audio source of a connected device or a virtual instrument controlled by Legend One, and the Analog In connector on the rear of the instrument lets you connect a portable audio player to play music via the headphones or the audio outputs, or play along with your favorite songs for practicing.
