LEGEND ‘70s introduces, for the first time, the concept of MODULAR STAGE PIANO. According to your needs, you can now choose the right combination of sound generating modules with dedicated knobs and buttons. Currently the modules ELECTRIC PIANO, ACOUSTIC PIANO, CLAVI and SOUND COLLECTION are available, while many others will be available in the future, within the “ALWAYS GROWING” family. Moreover to the standard PROGRAM and EFFECTS modules an optional EXTERNAL module is available to making the instrument flexible and very powerful. The design of LEGEND ‘70s Hammer Action Keyboard perfectly matches the instrument’s sound generators. The 3 contact sensors, under each key, are able to detect the corresponding movement with the highest precision.

For the more demanding musician the LEGEND ‘70s Artist-W also offers a graded hammer arrangement where their weight becomes lighter as you climb up the keyboard.

In addition, as with the traditional acoustic grand piano, the Legend Artist-W keyboard is enhanced with real wood piano keys. These keys are made of carefully selected and seasoned wood to eliminate any defect or deformation and provide maximum uniformity and stability over time.

SYNTH-8

"A real polyphonic synthesizer with character.

Synth-8 is a two-oscillators eight-voices synthesizer with a faithful reproduction of a classic American multimode analog filter with saturation, 12dB and 24dB roll off and gritty resonance. The synth architecture is easy to understand and operate but has unique features: classical waveforms with wave shaping and detuned doubling of the oscillators with “Fat” modes, dedicated envelope for the noise, Ring Mod, Hard Sync for all oscillator modes, velocity controls for filters and envelopes. Finally, the Unison modes allow stacking up to 8 voices: with “Fat” oscillators this makes a total of 32 detuned oscillators at once! The module panel provides quick access to user’s preferred parameters by four assignable knobs. These can be also used to tweak many other parameters arranged in rows that can be navigated through dedicated buttons.

The Legend ’70s Editor has a whole screen to control the synthesizer in real-time and make the editing of new patches simple as having a real panel in your hands. The synthesizer comes with lots of pre-sets that can be selected and tweaked and stored in the Legend ’70s programs.

Last but not least, the Synth-8 module also offers a dedicated arpeggiator section, capable of cyclically playing the notes in the desired order, and 4×16 sequences that can be assigned to the generation parameters."

FM SYNTH

A single module for two synths! The FM Module for Legend ’70s gives you two layers of authentic FM synthesis and a selection of sounds from music history.

You can import DX-TX sounds from the available libraries. You will also have an FM synthesis editor to experiment with!

FM SYNTH MODULE

2 Layers of Stereo FM Synthesis totally independent
6 Operators
LFO and Pitch Envelope exactly as in the historical formulation of FM synthesis
Iconic Sounds of the Decades
Compatibility with DX-TX sounds from the libraries available
Fully Customizable sounds with the free editor
256 Sounds 8 Cartridge with 32 program each (6 Factory + 2 User)
16+16 voice polyphonic
9 assignable user parameters that modify individual sounds in terms of timbre (Stereo width, Filter Cutoff, Filter Reso, Port Time, PB Range, More, Key Vel, Attack, Release).

Currently the following modules are available to enhance the piano:

A.PIANO MODULE

CLAVI MODULE

EXTERNAL MODULE

SYNTH-8 MODULE

Others will be available in the future in “Always Growing” family.
