Viscount Legend ’70s Acoustic Piano Mod

I love my Legend 70's Artist-W and think the E. Piano module is wonderful and the sound collection has a lot of good useable sounds. I bought this based on the reviews here and have to disagree. These are very digital sounding and not convincing piano samples. For the price, I would suggest looking at much more convincing software for half the cost and use the wonderful action of the wood keys as a controller. Very disappointed with this purchase and considering trying to sell this module. The only good thing about this module is the convenience of not needing to connect to a computer when you want to practice piano (although there are some samples in the sound collection too). This module will be used for practice use only for me and is expensive for that purpose. I don't play live so this may suffice in a full band context. I doubt the shortcomings would be as obvious if I weren't playing solo.

It has 8 piano’s.
#1 sounds to roomy even without reverb
#2 sounds pretty good, not amazing but definitely good enough for most use cases
#3 great piano, almost upright but not really, pretty dark though.
#4 bright, not amazing but very usable
#5 sounds like a worst version of number 3 (less dynamic maybe?)
#6 definitely less dynamic
#7 super Bright almost compressed very little dynamics
#8 really cheap sounding honkytonk

It doesn’t have an actual upright piano sound or something like a felt piano, which would have been nice in a set of 8 pianos.

I will keep it, because it sounds a lot better than the sound collection piano, but I’m not necessarily impressed.

As a small side note, the pedal noise sample is the same for all pianos and sounds pretty bad, which was disappointing because I love those intimate details.

Overall: very usable, not amazing.

Après de nombreuses années sur un SV1, je mourrais d'envie de passer sur un clavier qui non seulement disposait d'un meilleur touché, mais aussi de sons de piano acoustique dignes de ce nom, qui combinés avec la versions W du clavier, offrent une expérience de jeu incomparable !

Mission accomplie pour Viscount et leur technologie HDS, les sons de piano à queue sont magnifiques dans leur variété ! J'espère avoir l'occasion de les tester avec une triple pédale afin de voir les sons de sourdine.

Deux petits bémols :
• Je trouve les paramètres de Dynamic et Brillance un poil restreints, ceux-ci mériteraient une plus grande amplitude, notamment dans les graves.
• Je déplore l'absence d'un bon son de piano droit, ils se sont limités aux piano à queue. Et le piano honky-tonk est plutôt affreux, ce qui fait vraiment tâche sur le reste.

J'espère que ces quelques malus pourront être corrigés dans une mise à jour, si Viscount en prévoit.
