The Legend One is interesting... Viscount has modeled electric piano technology in their 70's model, and I was hoping it would appear here as well but no.
The organ sounds fantastic, but the weird thing to me is I just bought (and immediately sold) the Legend Expander module. The Leslie on that was not nice. It sounded like there was a ton of extra pitch vibrato on the organ when set to fast, and the drive was very bright and harsh. The Legend One sounds miles better, but it's a disappointment that the module does not seem to have the same sound.

Re: Anderton Piano Shootout Vid
The Viscount sounds really nice in that comparison.
The audio seems little more compressed dynamically than the Nord, but given that YouTube will compress the audio tracks of uploaded video, it's a difficult decision.
I'm definitely impressed by the Viscounts.

Re: Anderton Piano Shootout Vid
I think that‘s because the Expander has the „old“ sound engine of the Legend and Legend Live, while the Legend One is based on the new one of the Legend Soul
So am I. The HX3 in it‘s latest version was and is still the best one for me, but the Legend One and Legend Soul comes pretty close to that

Re: Anderton Piano Shootout Vid
My GAS is asking me to buy a Legend One 61 (waterfall) as the weighted keybed on my NS4 73 HA is not very good for playing organ... anyone with a NS4 and a Legend One could tell me if there's so much difference in the organ section compared to the NS4? I'm not interested on the AP/EP's from the Viscount, only the B3 sounds...

Re: Anderton Piano Shootout Vid
Well Viscount Legend One Organ engine is based on their latest Legend Soul clone, I am not an Hammond expert but some friends of mine who are consider it better (i.e. more faithful to the original) than Nord. I suggest you check the Legend One demos on Viscount site or YT.MrLeoMadrid wrote: ↑03 Mar 2025, 13:47 My GAS is asking me to buy a Legend One 61 (waterfall) as the weighted keybed on my NS4 73 HA is not very good for playing organ... anyone with a NS4 and a Legend One could tell me if there's so much difference in the organ section compared to the NS4?
