{"product_id":"viscount-legend-261-dual-manual-organ-black","title":"Viscount Legend 261 Dual-Manual Organ - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Viscount Legend 261 is a dual-manual tonewheel organ built to hold its own on stage. Its two 61-note waterfall keyboards invite the smears, glisses, and fast releases that organ players demand, while Viscount's TMT (Tonewheel Modeling Technology) captures the living, breathing behavior of vintage electromechanical organs from the inside out, rather than leaning on static samples. Pipe and transistor voices sit right alongside the classic tonewheel sound, and an array of rotary, overdrive, and modulation effects lets you shape everything from a mellow jazz whisper to a big, overdriven gospel tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 61-note waterfall keyboards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTMT (Tonewheel Modeling Technology) sound engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree organ model families: tonewheel, pipe, and transistor, each with several variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA separate organ model can be assigned to the pedalboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sets of nine drawbars per manual, plus two pedal drawbars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawbar sets A and B plus two presets per manual, selected from panel buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible drawbar sets for Gospel-style playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft Hand function to route the lower two octaves of the lower manual to a separate output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModeled crosstalk, keyclick, and AO-28 preamp tone control from the original organs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Bass with decay control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmonic Percussion with selectable harmonic, volume, and decay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-editable Vibrato and Chorus covering the classic V and C types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable rotary speaker and amplifier models with bypass, Memphis mode, and slow\/fast brake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverdrive control for the rotary and amp stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverb with pre or post rotary routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-band Master EQ.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional effects: Ring Modulator, Flanger, Phaser, Wah, Tremolo, and Delay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo main outputs plus AUX, pedal, and dedicated rotary outputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone output for silent practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEleven-pin Leslie connector for driving a real rotary cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog and AUX audio inputs with switchable levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot switch, foot controller, expression pedal, damper pedal, and rotary speed switch inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI In, Out, and Soft-Thru plus a dedicated MIDI port for a pedalboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB to Host for audio and MIDI, and USB to Device for a USB drive or as a power charger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegend Soul Editor app (Windows, Mac, iOS) for deep editing and loading new organ models.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eTonewheel Modeling Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTMT generates the sound by modeling the inner workings of a vintage electromechanical organ rather than replaying recordings. Each tonewheel type has its own modeled crosstalk, the subtle leakage between wheels that gives the originals their character, and keyclick is reproduced individually across all nine drawbar contacts. The engine also models the tone control of the classic AO-28 preamp used in the original organs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eTwo Manuals and Drawbar Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the two 61-note manuals has two full sets of nine drawbars, so you can set one registration on set A, another on set B, and switch between them from the panel. Two presets per manual and two pedal drawbars round out the control, and the pedal drawbars can be played from the lower manual when no pedalboard is connected. The drawbar sets can also be reversed for Gospel-style playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eLeft Hand Routing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Left Hand function sends the bottom two octaves of the lower manual to a separate audio output, so you can amplify or equalize a bass line on its own. Together with the dedicated pedal and rotary outputs, it gives you flexible control over how the instrument feeds your rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003ePercussion, String Bass, Vibrato and Chorus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarmonic Percussion offers second or third harmonic, soft or normal volume, fast or slow decay, and control over both volume and decay time. String Bass adds a rounded low end with its own decay control. Vibrato and Chorus cover the vintage V-1, V-2, V-3 and C-1, C-2, C-3 settings and are user-editable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eRotary, Amp and Overdrive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose among different rotary and amplifier models, with the parameters open to editing, and the overdrive control ranges from mild warmth to heavy distortion. The slow and fast brake gives the classic rotary ramp-up and slow-down. An eleven-pin connector lets you drive a real rotary cabinet directly, and reverb can sit before or after the rotary stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eOrgan Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engine holds three model families, each with several variants. Tonewheel covers blues, jazz, rock, and gospel; pipe covers classical and church sounds; and transistor recreates two combo organs, one English and one Italian, associated with 1960s pop. A different model can be assigned to the pedalboard than to the manuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eEffects and EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the core organ effects, the Legend 261 adds ring modulator, flanger, phaser, wah, tremolo, and delay, each with two parameters adjustable in real time. A three-band Master EQ handles bass, middle, and treble, and transpose plus fine tuning let it sit alongside other instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viscount","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52707805790482,"sku":"VIS-LEGEND261BLK","price":3455.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4110\/9522\/files\/VIS-LEGEND261BLK_Top.jpg?v=1789416061","url":"https:\/\/kraftmusic.com\/products\/viscount-legend-261-dual-manual-organ-black","provider":"Kraft Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
