Viscount Legend '70s MKII Compact 73-key Modular Stage Piano

The Viscount Legend '70s MKII Compact is a 73-key modular stage piano built for keyboardists whose focus is electric pianos, synths, and vintage keyboards. Where the Artist-W is aimed at pianists who want a grand piano-style action, the Compact uses the Fatar TP/110 keybed and a lighter overall form factor that suits players who move between instruments on stage and want something fast and familiar. Designed and built in Italy, it ships with the Electric Piano module installed and three empty slots ready for expansion. It has a robust effects section independent of your modules, and the new dual-DSP main circuit doubles the processing power of the original Legend '70s to give every installed module more headroom. 73-key hammer action keyboard (Fatar TP/110) Triple-sensor key detection for precise velocity and touch response New dual-DSP main circuit doubles processing power over the original Legend '70s Modular front panel design with 4 total slots: 1 included module, 3 empty slots Comes with Electric Piano module installed (Other modules available separately) Electric Piano module (available separately): 5 Rhodes models, 2 Wurlitzer models, 1 Electric Grand, full polyphony via physical modeling Acoustic Piano 2G module (available separately): 2GB sample memory, 128 voices of polyphony Clavi module (available separately): physical modeling with original button controls, full polyphony FM Synth module (available separately): two stereo layers, 6 operators each, 16+16 voices, compatible with Yamaha DX/TX series sound libraries Synth-8 module (available separately): two-oscillator virtual analog with multimode filter, 8 voices Sound Collection module (available separately): high-definition sampling covering pads, strings, choirs, keys, bass, guitars, and more 384 presets across 24 banks of 16 programs each 9 setlist banks of 40 songs, with 4 sets per song Effects: room, hall, stage, plate, spring, and tape reverb; tremolo, vibrato, chorus, flanger, phaser, wah-wah, rotary, amp simulations, delay, EQ, and compressor Dual 1/4-inch stereo main outputs and dual 1/4-inch stereo aux outputs 3.5mm stereo audio input MIDI in, out, and USB to host for MIDI and audio USB flash drive port for preset storage (2) 1/4-inch foot controller inputs, (2) 1/4-inch footswitch inputs, dedicated sustain and program change inputs Pitch bend and modulation wheels Split and transpose features Weight: 38.6 lbs / 17.5 kg Free Legend '70s Editor software for deep parameter editing on macOS and Windows Eight Electric Piano Models The included Electric Piano module draws on Viscount's physical modeling technology, which generates the sounds rather than playing back recordings. The result is a more consistent, natural response across the full keyboard range, with no tonal gaps between registers or dynamic levels. The module covers five Rhodes models, two Wurlitzers, and an electric grand, spanning the classic electric piano tones that shaped the sound of 1970s popular music. And because the module is fully polyphonic, every note you play is always heard, even in dense chords or sustained left-hand voicings. The Modular Concept The Legend 70s MKII Compact accepts up to four modules total, with three slots open from the start for whatever direction your playing takes you. Rather than outgrowing your instrument as your needs change, the modular design lets you add clavi, FM synthesis, virtual analog, or an expanded sound collection on your own timeline without replacing anything. Each module runs its own dedicated sound generator with independent polyphony, so adding new voices never comes at the expense of what is already installed. Twice the Power of the Original The MKII's new dual-DSP main circuit provides double the computing power of the first-generation Legend '70s, giving each installed module more processing headroom for richer sound generation and more complex effects. This also positions the platform well for more demanding modules as Viscount expands the catalog over time. The updated EPROM brings 384 presets across 24 banks, with 9 setlist banks holding 40 songs each for organized live performance recall. A Complete Effects Engine The effects section lives in the keyboard chassis itself rather than in individual modules, so the full processing suite is available regardless of which sound engines are installed. Six reverb types cover rooms, halls, plates, and spring and tape simulations, while the modulation section includes tremolo, vibrato, chorus, flanger, phaser, wah-wah, rotary, and delay. A master EQ and compressor complete the signal chain, giving players a self-contained live rig without relying on external processing. Ready for the Stage At 38.6 pounds, the Compact is an easy instrument to move, and its dual stereo main and aux outputs let players feed a front-of-house system and a stage monitor or amp simultaneously. Four footswitch and foot controller inputs handle sustain, program changes, and continuous expression independently, and USB to host carries both MIDI and audio to a connected computer. A USB flash drive port handles preset storage and recall, and the free Legend '70s Editor software provides access to deep parameters on both macOS and Windows.
