Legend ‘70s – User Manual

Introduction

Legend ‘70s has been designed to resemble to the 'legendary' electric pianos of the 70's, while simulating all the typical sounds of the music scene of that decade. Beside being a vintage instrument, Lenged '70s also offers all the features of a modern stage piano and easily adapts to the needs of the musician in different situations and environments.

However, Legend ‘70s is not just a revamp of famous and classical instruments. For the first time in the world of stage pianos, Legend '70s introduces the concept of modularity and scalability, offering the musician, unlike all other digital pianos on the market, the opportunity to choose the configuration that best suits your needs, in the times and ways you want.

 Vintage Piano Feeling Legend ‘70s has the typical vintage look from the past decades, making it stand out immediately on the stage.

The vintagestyle, with its black and glossy finish, combined with the aluminium decorative elementes, is a tribute to the most iconic electric piano, the protagonist on the stage of the early '70s.

Furthermore, the broad flat surface of the instrument can be used to fit other devices, such as a keyboard, a tablet, a laptop or all of them. This particular shape was designed during the project stage and represent an extra feature that responds to the need of the musician, making Legend ‘70s even more competitive. However, this does not increase the weight or compromise the portability of the instrument.

The optional adjustable keyboard stand comes with aluminium legs, and completes the vintage looks that even the most nostalgic musicians will appreciate.

 The power of the stage piano Legend ‘70s looks like a vintage electric piano, but has all the features of a modern stage piano. It contains a

wide array of sounds, such as acoustic and electric piano, strings, pads, bass guitars, guitars, brass, organs, choir, and many others, all thanks to the sound generation models installed in the instrument. Sounds can be assigned to different areas of the keyboard, according to the set range for each sound or, more simply, to the Lower and Upper sections of the keyboard by using the Split function. This, together with a complex chain of effects of the highest quality, allows the musician to recreate any sound.

Legend ‘70s offers all the typical stage piano features, such as general and section transposition, fine tuning, several velocity curves to choose from and velocity options. The instrument also has advanced Masterkeyboard functions, to control external devices connected through the MIDI and USB ports.

The wide range of adjustable panel controls allow a quick access to all the main functions while playing. The pitch bend and modulation wheels can be used for a memorable performance.

 The flexibility of a modular piano

Legend ‘70s is the first instrument ever to use the concept of modular piano. The musician can now choose the sound generation models as they wish, allowing for a greater flexibility.

The instrument has a wide front panel with one main section and somemobile sections that can be installed in

their dedicated slots, also called ‚modules‛. Thanks to the instrument's accurate design, the musician can

access the single slots easily and quickly, installing their favourite module in the preferred slot and changing the setup at will.

These modules are equipped with state-of-the-art sound generation technology and a dedicated interface to offer the best performance for every sound family. Each module allows easy access to the main controls, placed ergonomically for a quick sound configuration.

 High-quality sounds and effects

The sounds of the Legend ‘70s have been developed by studying the physics and functioning of the original instrument, in order to simulate it as closely as possible. The electric piano sounds are the top achievement of the physical modeling technology, the Viscount PM (Physical Modeling). It consists of mathematical models that represent the physics at work behind the instrument: how it was originally built and how it generates sound.

EN - 3

Page 6

Legend ‘70s – User Manual

Other sound families, such as acoustic pianos, brass, strings, organs, bass, etc. use the Viscount HDS (High Definition Sampling) technology. It is a system that employs the best multi-sampling techniques to recreate the sound wave in real time, according to the pitch and velocity of each note. At the same time, high-quality filters applied to the audio samples create a rich authentic a realistic sound.

Beside the excellent sounds, Legend ‘70s also features a whole section of effects desigend specifically for this instrument. There are classical effects such as tremolo, vibrato, chorus, flanger, phaser, wah, and the more common effects such as reverb, delay, equalizer, compression and a wide range of amplifiers. All effects were designed to recreate the sound of the legendary hits from the '70s.

 Keyboard and velocity curve

All models are equipped with a high quality hammer action keyboard that reproduces faithfully the velocity sensitivity of the original electric pianos. Each key has three sensors that detect its movement with high precision.

The Artisit-W model was developed for the most demanding musicians. It features a graduated hammer adjustment: hammers are heavier in the lower section of the keyboard and they get gradually lighter as they move up the keyboard. Furthermore, the Artist-W keys are made of real wood, just like acoustic pianos. The wood for this keyboard is carefully selected and seasoned to avoid flaws and bending and deformations through time.

The keyboard sensitivity to the touch can be customised by selecting one of the available velocity curves. The sounds can play throughout the keyboard or be assigned to a specific area of the keyboard in order to play different sounds with the left and right hand.

 High connectivity

The instrument is equipped with four analog line outputs and one analog audio input. It features a USB Audio / MIDI interface which, with a single USB cable, allows you to receive and then reproduce the audio source of the connected device or a virtual instrument controlled by Legend '70s. The instrument is also equipped with the usual 5 pin DIN connectors to connect external MIDI devices.

Up to six pedals can be connected to the instrument: one to select the Programs, one working as Sustain pedal and four more pedals that can be assigned to different functions. A USB flash drive can be used to save and load programs and settings, and also to update the operating system. The USB connector can also be used to charge different devices like smartphones and tablets.

 Editing Software

A dedicated editing software was designed to set all the Legend ‘70s parameters quickly and easily. The most demanding users can also use the software to modify parameters that cannot be adjusted through the main panel, for an extra fine tuning of sounds and effects. The customised settings can be saved and loaded at will.

The software runs on Windows, Mac Os and iOs, and can be downloaded for free from the Viscount website www.viscountinstruments.com.

SOUND COLLECTION module

The SOUND COLLECTION module includes a wide array of different sounds, reproducing the most commonly used instruments that all musicians need. Thanks to the Viscount HDS (High Definition Sampling) technology, each instrument has been accurately sampled with several different dynamics, in order to better recreate the variety in dynamics and tone of the original instruments. The sampled instruments are therefore realistic and rich in definition. These sounds are divided into 8 groups: Pad, Strings, Choir, Brass, Keys, Organ, Bass and Others. The module is comprised of two different parts. Each can be recalled with the respective selection button. Panel controls are further expanded by many other parameters that can be modified through the EDIT PROGRAM menu (see Sound Collection section at page 46) and through the Legend '70s Editor application.

Connecting to audio devices

Legend ‘70s is not equipped with internal loudspeakers. In order to produce sound, it must be connected to external audio devices, such as amplifiers, loudspeakers or headphones connected to the jack (located under the keyboard to the left). Legend ‘70s offers several ways to connect with external diffusors. Here are a couple of examples. Follow the illustrations to make the connection according to your needs.

Connection with amplifiers or amplified speakers

Use a pair of amplified speakers (or amplifiers with a line input) to play Legend ‘70s. This connection needs two audio cables with mono jack 1/4" connctors. Plug the jacks into the AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] and [R] outputs on the rear panel of the instrument, and into the amplifiers' inputs, as in the image. To play with a single amplifier (or amplified speaker) only use the AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] connector. Legend ‘70s is equipped with two auxiliary outputs: AUDIO OUT AUX [1] and [2]. These can be used in conjunction with MAIN outputs. Each module or effect can be assigned to an audio output (see Output Routing parameter, page 32 and 42).

Connecting to a mixer

When recording or performing live, it might be necessary to connect the instruments to an audio mixer, which then sends the signal to amplifiers or amplified speakers. To do so, connect the AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] and [R] outputs on the rear panel to the inputs of the mixer channels through two audio cables with mono 1/4" jacks, as in the image. To send the instrument's monophonic signal to a single mixer channel, only use the AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] connector. Legend ‘70s is also equipped with two auxiliary outputs: AUDIO OUT AUX [1] and [2]. These can be used in conjunction with MAIN outputs. Each module or effect can be assigned to an audio output (see Output Routing parameter, page 32 and 42).

Connecting to MIDI devices

Use standard MIDI cables to connect Legend '70s to other MIDI devices, such as synthesizers or audio modules (expanders). Connect the MIDI [IN] and [OUT] ports of Legend '70s to the MIDI ports of the external devices to exchange MIDI data.

To exchange MIDI data through the MIDI [IN] and [OUT] connectors, first activate the respective MIDI ports (see

Controlling an external sound generator

Connect the MIDI [OUT] connector on Legend ‘70s to the MIDI IN terminal of an external sound generator (synthesizer, expander, etc.) with a USB cable to play the sounds of the external generator with the Legend '70s keyboard. Use the EXTERNAL section (page 15) to split the keyboard in two sections, each of which is assigned to a different sound. When doing so, sounds from other MIDI devices can be played together with Legend ‘70s sounds. When the EXTERNAL section is not in use, controls and notes are still transmitted to the general channel (see Global Channel parameter, page 55) on the whole keyboard.

PEDAL [SUSTAIN] jack

PEDAL PROGRAM

PEDAL FOOT SWITCH [1] e [2] jacks

Connecting pedals

Legend ‘70s can be played with several kinds of pedals: foot switches, on-off pedals that can be used to control functions and binary parameters; Half-Damper Sustain pedals that can be used in conjunction with the HalfDamper function, foot controllers for continuous control parameters; triple pedals, to imitate the three pedals of acoustic pianos. Pedals must be plugged to the dedicated connectors on the rear panel. However, they need different jacks and can be assigned to different functions as described below.

Sustain pedal

The PEDAL [SUSTAIN] connector is dedicated to sustain pedals. Plug here a foot switch of the on-off type to use as a sustain pedal on an acoustic piano. When this pedal is pressed, notes played on the keyboard will resonate with a longer decay time, even after the key has been released.

Use this connector with a sustain half-damper pedal to use the "half pedaling" technique. When doing so, the damper effect varies according to pedal pressure.

Another option is using the Studiologic SLP3PD pedal group, to have all three acoustic pianos pedals at your disposal. The SLP3-D triple pedal controls the ‚Soft‛ effect (also known as ‚una corda‛) with the left pedal, the "Sostenuto" effect with the middle pedal and the ‚Sustain‛ effect (damper) with the right pedal, working as "half-damper". However, other functions can be assigned to the left and middle pedal, so as to use the triple pedal with sounds other than acoustic piano.

Foot switch

Use the PEDAL [FOOT SWITCH 1] and [FOOT SWITCH 2] connectors to plug in foot switch pedals. These pedals can be assigned to different functions, such as switching on / off a module or an effect, controlling the "Sostenuto" or soft effects on acoustic piano sounds, etc. Furthermore, Legend ‘70s is equipped with a PEDAL [PROGRAM + / -] connector for twoswitch pedals that can be used to select the next or previous Program. Regular (one switch) foot switch pedals can also be connected to this port. When doing so, the foot switch will only select the next or previous Program. Foot switches are not included. There are two types of foot switches on the market: N.O.(Normally Open) and N.C. (Normally Closed). The footswitch polarity (N.O. or N.C.) must be set correctly on the instrument.

The sustain pedal can be used on the A.PIANO module to generate the "sympathetic" vibration of piano strings and mechanical sounds caused by the damper moving. When using the triple pedal, the left and middle pedal use the same functions assigned to [FOOT SWITCH 1] and [FOOT SWITCH 2], respectively. To ensure that the sustain pedal works properly, manually select the pedal type on the instrument (see the Sustain

Selecting a Program

To select a Program, use the PROGRAM section of the main panel; otherwise, if the instrument is in Program Mode, use the data entry dial beneath the display, the Bank buttons [<] [>] or the [SET] buttons. Programs can

also be selected through the foot switch connected to the PEDAL [PROGRAM + / -] port on the rear panel. In the latter case, the display does not need to be on the main page. To select a Program, use the data entry dial: rotate clockwise to select the next location, or counter-clockwise to select the previous one. When the last location of the Bank is selected (e.g. A16), rotating the dial clockwise will select the first location of the following Bank (for example B01). The opposite is also true: when the first location of a Banks is selected (e.g. B01), rotating the dial counter-clockwise will select the last location of the previous Bank (A16 in the example).

To switch Bank, press the button [<] (from P to A) or [>] (from A to P). When the last Bank is selected (P), pressing [>] will select the first Bank (A). The same happens with the opposite situation: when the first Bank is selected (A), pressing [<] will select the last Bank (P).

According to the current status of the Confirm Program parameter (page 57) the new Program can be recalled immediately or only when the user confirms the change by pressing the data entry dial. In the latter case, the Program location will blink until the dial is pressed. To cancel the Program selection, press [EXIT]. Legend ‘70s also allows to select four Programs directly, by pressing the [SET] buttons. These buttons can be used to select Programs quickly without having to scroll through locations with the data entry dial. For example, if you need to select Program D-12 right after B-01, the Program can be assigned to a [SET] button.

To assign a Program to a [SET] button, select the Program, then press a [SET] button for a short while. The Program will be assigned to that specific button. Once this is done, the following screen will appear on the display:

The main parameters of a Program can be adjusted in real time while running it. To do so, use the controls on the main panel and on the additional modules. Each time one of the controls is used, the name and value of the modified parameter will appear on display. For example, when the [DRY/WET] control of the Reverb effect is used, the display will show the video page:

EFFECTS section

The EFFECTS menu includes the parameters of the EFFECTS section on the main panel (see page 9). The EFFECTS section allows to use two independent effects, that can be recalled through the buttons [1] and [2] on the main panel. Doing so will update the parameter value shown on the display. The effect selected for editing appears on the display on the heading of the menu by the field FX1 or FX2. To access this menu, enter the EDIT PROGRAM screen (page 28) place the cursor on the EFFECTS field and press the data entry dial or hold down the effect category selection knob for a short while (see point 6, page 9).

Effect types

The available effects on Legend ’70s belong to eight categories. To choose a category, use the dedicated knob (read point 6, page 9) or the Category parameter under the EFFECTS menu. Each effect category disposes of an adequate number of presets, that allow the user to recall programmed configurations, each carefully calibrated to faithfully represent the features of the specific effect. The main parameters of each effect can be adjusted by using the [AMOUNT] and [RATE] knobs, and the [TAP] button on the main panel. The more demanding musician can use the Custom preset to modify all available parameters, to further customise the effect. To select an effect configuration, press the effect type knob or use the Preset parameter.

The following tables show all the parameters that the user can modify through the Custom preset. Under the parameter name, the screen shows the knob and [TAP] button that allow to control said parameter. For a complete list of available presets read table List of effect presets, page 64. For the Others category, after pressing the category selection knob to select a preset, use the [<] and [>] buttons

Tremolo and Vibrato

The Tremolo modulates the signal amplitude, i.e. its volume, in a cycle, in order to obtain a trembling effect. The Vibrato modulates the signal frequency, i.e. its pitch, in a cycle.

REVERB section

Reverb is a sum of the various acoustic reflections of a sound in a space. A great number of factors determine the acoustic effects of a reverberation, such as the size and shape of the ambient, the material of which the walls are made, and much more. The REVERB menu contains the parameters of the REVERB section on the main panel (see page 8). To access this menu, enter the EDIT PROGRAM screen (page 28) place the cursor on the REVERB field, then press the data entry dial, or hold down the reverb category knob for a short while (see point 3, page 8).

Reverb types

There are several available reverb effects on Legend ’70s, divided into categories, according to the type of ambient or reverb device they simulate. To select a category, use the dedicated knob (see point 3, page 8) or access the Category parameter under the REVERB menu. Each reverb category contains different variants, called types. To choose one, press the selection knob then select the reverb type; alternatively, you can access the Type parameter under the REVERB menu. The following table shows all the available reverb types:

Changes made to Songs are temporary and will be deleted when a different Song is selected or the instrument is switched off. To avoid that, Songs must be made permanent by saving them. When saving a Song, you can give it a name and store it in its current location or select a different location (number) so as not to overwrite the previous version of that Song. To save a song, follow this procedure:

1. Make sure that the the Program mode is NOT selected; if it is,

press the [SONG MODE]/[SYSTEM] button.

2. Press the [EDIT]/[STORE] button for a short while. This will recall

the STORE function. The button Led light will start blinking; the following page will appear on screen:

3. Press the data entry dial or the [EDIT]/[STORE] button to confirm

the Song name, or write a new name. Press the [<] or [>] button to move the cursor (highlighted character) and turn the dial to select a character. The bottom part of the display shows the available characters to write the Song name.

Hold down [EXIT] and press [>] to insert a character before the currently selected one.

Hold down [EXIT] and press [<] to delete the selected character. Once the Song name has been composed, press the data entry dial or the [EDIT]/[STORE] button to continue, or [EXIT] to cancel.

4. Press the data entry dial or the [EDIT]/[STORE] button to overwrite

the current Song location, or select a new location with the dial. Press the button [<] or [>] to select a different Bank. While

selecting the location, the display shows the name of the Song currently saved on that location. When you have selected the location, press the data entry dial or the [EDIT]/[STORE] button to confirm, or [EXIT] to abort.

When you overwrite a Song, be it on the current location or to a different location, the data of that Song will be inevitably lost. To prevent that, al the current settings can be saved to an external USB drive and recalled when necessary. For further information on the subject, read about the Save All function at page 59. Furthermore, the instrument's factory settings can be recalled at any time. For further information on the subject, read

Legend ‘70s - Manuale Utente

INTRODUZIONE

Caratteristiche principali

Legend ‘70s è uno strumento che nasce con l’intento di ricordare nel design gli storici pianoforti elettrici degli anni settanta e allo stesso tempo di fornire al musicista tutte quelle sonorità che hanno caratterizzato la scena musicale di questo fantastico periodo. Oltre a ciò unisce all’aspetto vintage le funzionalità tipiche dello stage piano di concezione moderna e la capacità di adattarsi facilmente alle differenti esigenze dei musicisti e ai mutevoli contesti musicali nei quali viene impiegato.

Ma Legend ‘70s non è solo una rielaborazione di strumenti famosi del passato. Questo prodotto introduce nel panorama degli stage piano, per la prima volta in assoluto, il concetto di modularità e scalabilità, offrendo al musicista, diversamente da tutti gli altri pianoforti digitali presenti sul mercato, la possibilità di scegliere la configurazione più adatta alle proprie esigenze, nei tempi e nei modi desiderati.

 Il feeling del piano vintage Legend ‘70s propone nelle forme il caratteristico aspetto vintage degli anni passati, che rende lo strumento

immediatamente riconoscibile sul palco. Il pannello in stile retrò, con la finitura nera e liscia, combinato agli elementi decorativi in alluminio, rende omaggio al pianoforte elettrico per eccellenza, diventato protagonista delle scene musicali a partire dai primi anni settanta.

Non di meno, l’ampia superficie piana offerta dallo strumento può essere utilizzata come superficie di appoggio

per altri dispositivi, come ad esempio una tastiera, un computer, un tablet o persino tutti e tre. Questa peculiarità, appositamente studiata in fase di progetto, è un valore aggiunto che risponde ad una reale esigenza del musicista e rende Legend ‘70s ancora più interessante rispetto a prodotti simili, senza penalizzare in alcun modo la portabilità e il peso complessivo dello strumento.

Lo stand nero opzionale, con gambe in alluminio regolabili, completa il quadro di uno strumento che di certo non farà rimpiangere i suoi predecessori, neppure ai musicisti più nostalgici.

 La potenza del piano stage Legend ‘70s si presenta come un piano elettrico vintage, ma ha tutte le caratteristiche tipiche di uno piano stage

moderno. Lo strumento dispone infatti di una molteplicità di suoni di vario genere che comprendono piani elettrici, piani acustici, strings, pads, bassi, chitarre, brass, organi, cori, e molti altri, grazie ai moduli di generazione aggiuntivi installati nello strumento. Questi suoni possono essere combinati tra loro in zone di tastiera diverse, secondo il range definito per ciascuno di essi, o possono essere associati alla parte Lower e Upper della tastiera, utilizzando la più semplice funzionalità di Split. Tutto questo, elaborato da una catena effetti di altissima qualità, permette di ricreare sonorità di qualunque genere.

Legend ‘70s fornisce le funzionalità tipiche del pianoforte da palco, come la trasposizione generale e di parte,

l’accordatura fine, la possibilità di scegliere la curva dinamica più adatta e di modificare la sensibilità del suono

al tocco per ciascuno dei suoni utilizzati. Lo strumento è dotato, inoltre, di funzioni avanzate di master-keyboard, che permettono il controllo di dispositivi esterni collegati alle prese MIDI e USB.

Inoltre, il numero elevato di controlli disponibili a pannello permette al musicista di accedere immediatamente

alle funzioni principali dello strumento durante l’esecuzione del brano e la presenza delle ruote di pitch bend e

modulation wheel rendono la performance ancora più incredibile.

 La flessibilità del piano modulare

Legend ‘70s introduce, per la prima volta, il concetto di piano modulare, offrendo al musicista, come mai nessuno aveva fatto prima, la possibilità di comporre il proprio strumento, scegliendo i moduli di generazione più adatti alle proprie esigenze.

Lo strumento si presenta con un ampio pannello frontale, composto da una sezione principale e da alcune

sezioni mobili, da installare in appositi slot, detti ‚moduli‛. Grazie ad un progetto meccanico mirato il musicista

può accedere con grande facilità ed in qualsiasi momento ai singoli slot, installando i moduli da lui scelti nella posizione che più desidera, rendendo lo strumento completamente personalizzabile e aggiornabile nel tempo.

Questi moduli sono dotati di generazione sonora allo stato dell’arte e di una interfaccia dedicata in grado di

offrire la massima espressione tecnologica per ciascuna tipologia timbrica. Ogni modulo è progettato per consentire al musicista un accesso facile e veloce e i controlli principali, posizionati in maniera ergonomica, garantiscono una regolazione del suono veloce ed intuitiva.

Legend ‘70s - Manuale Utente

Introduzione

 Suoni ed effetti di eccellente qualità

I suoni di Legend ‘70s sono stati sviluppati studiando tutti i meccanismi dello strumento originale al fine di garantire il massimo realismo possibile. I suoni di pianoforte elettrico rappresentano la più alta espressione della tecnologia a modelli fisici Viscount PM (Physical Modeling), che permette di generare il suono in base a modelli matematici che tengono conto di come lo strumento originale è realmente costruito ed in che maniera genera il suono. Altri suoni, come i pianoforti acustici, gli strumenti a fiato, gli archi, gli organi, i bassi, ecc... utilizzano la tecnologia Viscount HDS (High Definition Sampling) che, avvalendosi delle più evolute tecniche di multi-campionamento, permette in tempo reale di riprodurre la forma d’onda corretta in funzione dell’altezza e

della dinamica di ogni singola nota. Questo e l’utilizzo di una tecnologia di filtri di alta qualità, applicati ai campioni audio, assicurano allo strumento suoni ricchi, autentici e dall’elevato realismo sonoro.

Oltre ai suoni di eccellente qualità, Legend ‘70s mette in campo una sezione effetti di tutto rispetto, appositamente studiati per questo prodotto, tra i quali si possono trovare effetti classici di modulazione come tremolo, vibrato, chorus, flanger, phaser, wah, oltre agli immancabili effetti di riverbero, delay, equalizzazione, compressore e ad un’ampia varietà di amplificatori. Tutti gli effetti sono stati progettati per ricreare quelli più

famosi dell’epoca, che è possibile ritrovare in brani leggendari che hanno fatto la storia della musica di tutti i

tempi.

 Tastiera e curva di dinamica

Tutti i modelli sono equipaggiati con tastiera pesata con hammer action di elevata qualità in grado di garantire una risposta al tocco precisa e fedele agli strumenti originali. I 3 sensori di contatto, sotto ogni tasto, sono in grado di rilevare il movimento corrispondente con la massima precisione.

Per il musicista più esigente, il modello Artisit-W offre una disposizione dei martelli graduata in cui il loro peso diventa più leggero nelle zone alte della tastiera. Inoltre, come nel tradizionale pianoforte acustico a coda, la tastiera dell’Artist-W è arricchita da tasti di pianoforte in vero legno. Questi tasti sono realizzati in legno accuratamente selezionato e stagionato per eliminare eventuali difetti o deformazioni e fornire la massima uniformità e stabilità nel tempo.

Grazie alla disponibilità di diverse curve di dinamica è possibile personalizzare ulteriormente la risposta del

suono alla forza impressa sui tasti. E’ possibile sovrapporre i suoni su tutta l’estensione della tastiera, oppure

dividere la stessa in più zone assegnando ad ognuna un suono, così da poter essere suonato dalla mano destra, dalla sinistra od entrambe.

 Elevato livello di connettività

Lo strumento è dotato di quattro uscite audio di linea analogiche ed un ingresso audio analogico. Dispone di un’interfaccia USB Audio/MIDI che, con un singolo cavo USB, permette di ricevere e quindi riprodurre la sorgente audio del dispositivo collegato o di un virtual instrument controllato da Legend ‘70s. I collegamenti MIDI con dispositivi esterni sono inoltre garantiti dai classici connettori DIN a 5 poli.

E’ possibile controllare lo strumento con un massimo di 6 pedali, uno con funzione di selezione dei Program, uno con funzione Sustain ed altri quattro la cui funzione è programmabile. E’ altresì presente l’utilizzo di una

unità flash USB per il salvataggio e caricamento delle proprie programmazioni e per l’aggiornamento del sistema operativo dello strumento. Con la stessa connessione USB è possibile alimentare e ricaricare dispositivi multimediali come smartphone e tablet.

 Software di editing

A supporto del Legend ‘70s è disponibile un software di editing che consente la programmazione di tutti i parametri dello strumento in modo più agevole ed immediato.

PANNELLO FRONTALE

Descrizione generale

Il pannello frontale è costituito da una sezione principale e dai moduli installati nello strumento, come descritto a pagina 3.

Il disegno di cui sopra fa riferimento ai modelli Artist-W ed Artist equipaggiati con tutti i moduli. I moduli sono comunque identici per tutti i modelli, con l’unica differenza sul numero di quelli installabili ovvero 5 nei modelli Artist-W ed Artist e 4 nel Compact. La disposizione ed il numero dei moduli presenti nelle illustrazioni e nelle videate a display riportati nel manuale sono puramente a scopo informativo in quanto possono essere liberamente modificati in base alle necessità

Ruote

A sinistra della tastiera sono presenti due ruote per il controllo in tempo reale dei suoni. La ruota è dotata di ritorno in posizione centrale e viene utilizzata per il controllo in maniera continua dell’intonazione dei suoni (Pitch Bend). La ruota , seppur di norma assegnata al controllo della modulazione, è programmabile ed assegnabile a diverse funzioni (vedi parametro Mod.Wheel Dest a pagina 29).

Sulla sinistra, sotto la tastiera, è presente un connettore jack da 1/4" per il collegamento di un set di cuffie.

Al fine di evitare danni all’udito si consiglia di non utilizzare le cuffie

con livelli di volume elevati. Il collegamento delle cuffie non ha alcun effetto sui segnali presenti sulle uscite AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO], [R] e AUX [1], [2]

Installazione dei moduli

Come abbiamo visto, il pannello frontale di Legend ‘70s è costituito di una sezione principale preinstallata in fabbrica più altri moduli aggiuntivi. In mancanza di questi moduli sono presenti dei pannelli senza alcun controllo. Questi sono gli slot in cui è possibile posizionare i moduli. Per procedere con l’installazione di un modulo seguire questa procedura:

1. Assicurarsi che lo strumento sia spento e scollegare il cavo di alimentazione.

2. Svitare le viti poste sulla barra di copertura, posizionata tra il top dello strumento ed il pannello frontale e

rimuovere la barra. Conservare le viti in quanto dovranno essere riutilizzate per fissare la barra (Fig. A).

3. Svitare le due viti poste sullo slot in cui si desidera installare il modulo ed estrarre il pannello di copertura

dello slot. Conservare le viti in quanto dovranno essere riutilizzate per fissare il modulo (Fig. B).

4. Collegare il cavo flat-cable presente nell’imballo del modulo ai connettori (1) dello slot e (2) del modulo (Fig.

C).

5. Posizionare il modulo sul pannello frontale dello strumento inserendo prima i denti presenti nel lato inferiore

dello stesso nelle guide della base interna del pannello (Fig. D).

6. Fissare il modulo al pannello frontale utilizzando le vite svitate al punto 3 (Fig. E).

1. Accertarsi che l’interruttore [POWER] posto nel pannello posteriore sia in posizione 0.

2. Accertarsi che eventuali amplificatori o altoparlanti amplificati collegati siano spenti.

3. Collegare il cavo di alimentazione in dotazione con lo strumento.

4. Posizionare la manopola [MASTER VOLUME] completamente a sinistra (volume chiuso).

5. In caso di utilizzo delle cuffie, non indossarle.

6. Accendere lo strumento tramite l’interruttore [POWER].

7. Accendere gli amplificatori o altoparlanti amplificati collegati.

8. Regolare il volume dello strumento con la manopola [MASTER VOLUME].

Per spegnere lo strumento, seguire questa procedura:

1. Posizionare la manopola [MASTER VOLUME] completamente a sinistra (volume chiuso).

2. Spegnere gli amplificatori o altoparlanti amplificati collegati.

3. Spegnere lo strumento tramite l’interruttore [POWER].

Utilizzare soltanto il cavo CA fornito con il Legend ‘70s. L'utilizzo di un cavo sostitutivo non adeguato potrebbe

provocare surriscaldamento o scosse elettriche. Il cavo in dotazione con il Legend ‘70s non deve essere utilizzato con altre apparecchiature elettriche. Se non si osserva questa precauzione, l'apparecchiatura potrebbe danneggiarsi o potrebbero verificarsi incendi. In caso di lunghi periodi di inutilizzo dello strumento, scollegare il cavo di alimentazione dalla presa di corrente.

E’ possibile fare in modo che lo strumento si spenga automaticamente dopo un determinato periodo di inattività.

Collegamento con dispositivi audio

Legend ‘70s non è equipaggiato con altoparlanti interni. Per ascoltare il suono riprodotto, quindi, è necessario collegare lo strumento ad altri dispositivi audio, come amplificatori e diffusori o utilizzare un set di cuffie collegate al jack posto sulla sinistra sotto la tastiera. Il collegamento del Legend ‘70s ai dispositivi di diffusione audio può essere effettuato in vari modi, di seguito vengono riportati due esempi. Basandosi sulle illustrazioni, effettuare il collegamento più adatto alle proprie esigenze.

Collegamento con amplificatori o diffusori amplificati

Utilizzando una coppia di diffusori amplificati o amplificatori con ingresso audio di linea, è possibile riprodurre il suono del Legend ‘70s. Per effettuare questo collegamento è necessario utilizzare due cavi audio con connettori jack mono da 1/4" da collegare alle uscite AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] ed [R] presenti nel pannello posteriore e agli ingressi

dell’amplificatore o diffusori amplificati come

illustrato in figura. Se si preferisce la riproduzione mediante un unico diffusore amplificato o amplificatore per tastiere, è possibile utilizzare solo il connettore AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO]. Legend ‘70s è dotato, inoltre, di altre due uscite audio ausiliarie AUDIO OUT AUX [1] e [2], che possono essere utilizzate in combinazione alle MAIN. E’ possibile scegliere infatti, per ciascun modulo od effetto, l’uscita audio di destinazione (vedi parametro Output Routing a pagina 33 e 42).

Collegamento con mixer

Nel caso di una registrazione o di una performance dal vivo può essere necessario collegare gli strumenti musicali ad un mixer, le cui uscite vengono dirette agli amplificatori o a diffusori amplificati. In questo caso, collegare le uscite AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO] ed [R] presenti nel pannello posteriore agli ingressi dei canali del mixer, utilizzando due cavi audio con connettori jack mono da 1/4", come illustrato in figura. Per la ripresa monofonica dello strumento su un unico canale del mixer, è possibile utilizzare il solo connettore AUDIO OUT MAIN [L/MONO]. Legend ‘70s è dotato, inoltre, di due uscite audio ausiliari AUDIO OUT AUX [1] e [2], che possono essere utilizzate in combinazione alle uscite

MAIN. E’ possibile scegliere infatti, per ciascun

modulo od effetto, l’uscita audio di destinazione (vedi parametro Output Routing a pagina 33 e

Collegamento con dispositivi MIDI

Utilizzando cavi MIDI standard è possibile collegare il Legend '70s ad altri dispositivi MIDI, come sintetizzatori e moduli audio (expander). Utilizzando i connettori MIDI [IN] ed [OUT] del Legend '70s ed i terminali MIDI del dispositivo collegato, è possibile scambiare i dati MIDI tra i due strumenti.

Controllo di un generatore sonoro esterno

Collegando il connettore MIDI [OUT] del Legend ‘70s al terminale MIDI IN di un generatore di suoni MIDI esterno (sintetizzatore, expander, ecc.) tramite un cavo MIDI, è possibile riprodurre i suoni del generatore esterno con la tastiera del Legend '70s. Utilizzando la sezione EXTERNAL (vedi pag. 15) è inoltre possibile suddividere la tastiera in due zone, con ciascuna delle quali riprodurre un suono diverso. Ciò consente di riprodurre più suoni generati da altri dispositivi MIDI insieme a quelle del Legend ‘70s. Non utilizzando la sezione EXTERNAL i controlli e le note vengono comunque trasmessi sul canale generale (vedi parametro Global Channel a pag. 56) e lungo tutta l’estensione della tastiera.

Per scambiare i dati MIDI attraverso i connettori MIDI [IN] ed [OUT] è necessario abilitare la relativa porta MIDI del

PEDAL PROGRAM

[+ / -] jack

PEDAL FOOT SWITCH [1] e [2] jacks

Collegamento dei pedali

Con il Legend ‘70s è possibile utilizzare diverse tipologie di pedali: i foot switch, ovvero pedali a pressione del tipo on-off che permettono di controllare funzione e/o parametri a due stati, pedale Sustain Half-Damper per avvalersi della funzione Half-Damper (mezzo pedale) dei pianoforti acustici, foot controller che hanno un controllo continuo del parametro assegnato, triplo pedale per disporre dei classici tre pedali presenti nei pianoforti acustici. I pedali vanno collegati ai connettori del pannello posteriore, tuttavia i jack utilizzati e le funzioni corrispondenti variano come descritto di seguito.

Pedale di sustain

Il connettore dedicato PEDAL [SUSTAIN] consente di collegare vari tipi di pedali di

sustain. E’ possibile collegare un foot switch di

tipo on-off per utilizzarlo come il pedale damper di un pianoforte acustico. Quando questo pedale viene premuto, le note della tastiera continuano a suonare con decadimento lungo, anche dopo essere state rilasciate.

A questo connettore è anche possibile collegare un pedale di sustain half-damper, per suonare il

pianoforte acustico con la tecnica del ‚mezzo

pedale‛. In tal caso, l'effetto damper varia in

base al grado di pressione del pedale. E’ inoltre possibile utilizzare il g ruppo pedali Studiologic SLP3-PD, per disporre dei classici tre pedali presenti

nel pianoforte acustico. Il triplo pedale SLP3-D permette il controllo della funzione "Una Corda" o ‚Soft‛ tramite il

pedale sinistro, del "Sostenuto" con il pedale centrale e del "Damper" o ‚Sustain‛ con il pedale destro, con

funzione di "mezzo pedale" (half-damper). E’ comunque possibile assegnare le funzioni al pedale sinistro e al pedale centrale, così da utilizzare il triplo pedale anche con suoni diversi dal pianoforte acustico.

Foot switch

Utilizzare i connettori PEDAL [FOOT SWITCH 1] e [FOOT SWITCH 2] per collegare i pedali di tipo foot switch, ai quali è possibile assegnare

varie funzioni, come per esempio l’accensione e

spegnimento di un modulo o di un effetto, il controllo del sostenuto o del soft dei pianoforti acustici, ed altri ancora. Inoltre Legend ‘70s è dotato di un connettore PEDAL [PROGRAM + / -] per il collegamento di un pedale a due pulsanti, dedicato alla selezione del Program successivo o

precedente. E’ consentito anche il collegamento

del foot switch a singolo pulsante, con la sola funzione di incremento o decremento della locazione del Program. I pedali foot switch non vengono forniti con lo strumento. In commercio ne esistono di due tipi, N.O. (Normally Open) e N.C. (Normally Closed). E’ necessario pertanto impostare la polarità del pedale utilizzato.

La pressione del pedale di sustain, nel modulo A.PIANO, è in grado di produrre la vibrazione per ‚simpatia‛ delle

corde del pianoforte ed i rumori meccanici provocati dal movimento dello smorzatore. Nel caso di impiego del triplo pedale, il pedale sinistro e il pedale centrale utilizzano le stesse funzioni assegnate rispettivamente al pedale [FOOT SWITCH 1] e [FOOT SWITCH 2].

Per il corretto utilizzo del pedale di sustain è necessario selezionare il tipo di pedale collegato (vedi parametro

PEDAL FOOT CONTROLLER

[1] and [2] jacks

Foot controller

Un foot controller, o pedale d’espressione,

permette di controllare un parametro in maniera continuativa e non a due stati come con un foot switch. Ai pedali collegati ai connettori PEDAL [FOOT CONTROLLER 1] e [FOOT CONTROLLER 2] è possibile assegnare vari parametri, come per esempio il volume di un determinato suono, l’intonazione, la modulazione o l’effetto WahWah ed altri ancora. I pedali foot controller non vengono forniti con lo strumento. In commercio ne esistono di due tipi, RTS o TRS. E’ necessario pertanto impostare la tipologia del pedale collegato al Legend ‘70s.

Per impostare la polarità ed il tipo di pedali consultare la Sezione Pedal Setup a pagina 57. Per assegnare le funzioni ai pedali consultare la Sezione Common a pagina 29.

Utilizzo dei suoni

Il Legend ‘70s dispone di una grande varietà di suoni, in funzione anche del numero di moduli installati. Come già descritto ogni singolo modulo dispone di diverse tipologie di suoni, è possibile utilizzare un singolo suono o diversi contemporaneamente, per il massimo di tutti i moduli attivati. Per utilizzare uno o più suoni procedere come segue:

1. Accendere il modulo del suono desiderato premendo il relativo pulsante [ON/OFF].

2. Ruotare la manopola di selezione per scegliere il suono o la tipologia di suoni nei moduli in cui queste sono

Selezione di un Program

La selezione dei Program può essere effettuata nella sezione PROGRAM del pannello principale, nel caso in cui lo strumento si trovi in Modalità Program, utilizzando il dial data entry sotto il display, i pulsanti di banco [<] [>] o i pulsanti [SET]. E’ altresì possibile selezionare i Program con il foot switch collegato alla presa PEDAL

[PROGRAM + / -] del pannello posteriore. In questo caso non è necessario che il display visualizzi la videata principale.

Per selezionare i Program utilizzare il dial data entry, ruotando in senso orario per selezionare la locazione

successiva e in senso antiorario per selezionare la precedente. Quando è selezionata l’ultima locazione di un

banco (es. A16), ruotando in senso orario viene selezionata la prima locazione del banco successivo

(nell’esempio, B01). Allo stesso modo, quando si è nella prima locazione di un banco (es. B01), ruotando il dial

in senso antiorario si seleziona l’ultima locazione del banco precedente (nell’esempio, A16).

Per cambiare direttamente banco utilizzare i pulsanti [<] (da P ad A) o [>] (da A a P). Quando è selezionato l’ultimo banco (P), premendo il pulsante [>] si seleziona il primo (A). Allo stesso modo, quando è selezionato il primo banco (A), premendo [<] si seleziona l’ultimo (P).

In base all’impostazione di sistema Confirm Program (pag. 58) il nuovo Program può essere caricato immediatamente oppure in seguito a conferma da parte dell’utente, tramite la pressione del dial data entry. In questo caso la locazione del Program lampeggia sino alla pressione del dial. Premendo [EXIT] la nuova selezione viene annullata e si ritorna al Program corrente. Il Legend ‘70s prevede, inoltre, la possibilità di selezionare direttamente quattro Program a propria scelta, utilizzando i pulsanti [SET]. Questi pulsanti permettono di richiamare velocemente un Program senza la necessità di scorrere tutte le locazioni con il dial data entry (per esempio se si desidera selezionare immediatamente il Program D-12 dopo il B-01) assegnandolo ad un pulsante [SET]).

Per assegnare un Program ad un pulsante [SET] selezionare il Program desiderato, dopodichè tenere premuto per qualche istante il pulsante [SET] con il quale si desidera richiamarlo. Ad assegnazione avvenuta il display visualizza la videata:

Durante l’esecuzione di un Program è possibile modificare in tempo

reale i parametri più importanti andando ad agire sui controlli del pannello principale e dei moduli aggiuntivi. Ogni qualvolta si regola uno dei controlli a pannello viene visualizzato a display il nome del parametro corrispondente e il suo valore. Per esempio, regolando il [DRY/WET] dell’effetto Reverb, il display visualizza la videata:

Memorizzazione di un Program

Per rendere definitive le modifiche apportate ad un Program, così da non perderle selezionandone un altro o spegnendo lo strumento, è necessario memorizzare il Program. La procedura di memorizzazione prevede

l’assegnazione del nome del Program ed il salvataggio nella locazione desiderata, così da non sovrascrivere

quella corrente. Per memorizzare un Program, seguire questa procedura:

1. Predisporre lo strumento in modalità Program.

2. Tenere premuto per qualche istante il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE]

per richiamare la funzione di STORE. Il led del pulsante inizia a lampeggiare e viene visualizzata la videata:

3. Premere il dial data entry od il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE] per

confermare il nome del Program, altrimenti comporre il nuovo nome. Utilizzare i pulsanti [<] o [>] per muovere il cursore

(indicato dal carattere evidenziato) e ruotare il dial data entry per selezionare il carattere desiderato. La parte inferiore del display mostra tutti i caratteri disponibili per la composizione del nome del Program.

Tenendo premuto il pulsante [EXIT] e premendo [>] è possibile inserire un carattere prima di quello selezionato.

Tenendo premuto [EXIT] e premendo [<], invece, viene cancellato il carattere selezionato. Una volta composto il nome del Program premere il dial data entry od il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE] per continuare, oppure [EXIT] per annullare.

4. Premere il dial data entry od il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE] per

sovrascrivere la locazione del Program corrente, altrimenti selezionare la nuova locazione utilizzando il dial data entry.

Utilizzare i pulsanti [<] o [>] per cambiare banco. Durante la selezione della locazione il display mostra il nome del Program di destinazione. Per confermare la memorizzazione premere il dial data entry od il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE], oppure premere [EXIT] per annullare.

- Tutti i 256 Program del Legend ‘70s sono modificabili dall’utente e memorizzabili in una delle 256 locazioni

Split Mode

Modalità di funzionamento della tastiera. Con Split Mode = OFF ciascuno suono può essere assegnato liberamente a tutta o parte della tastiera. L’assegnazione viene effettuata tramite la funzione KEY RANGE (pag. 30). Con Split Mode = ON la tastiera viene divisa in due parti e ciascun suono può essere assegnato alla parte Upper o alla parte Lower. Il punto di separazione tra le due parti viene definito dal parametro Split Point, che indica la nota più acuta compresa dalla parte Lower. Lo Split Mode può essere controllato anche da pannello con il pulsante [SPLIT].

Impostazioni: OFF, ON

Split Point

Punto di separazione delle parti Lower e Upper quando è attiva la modalità Split. E’ anche possibile assegnare la nota di Split Point direttamente con la tastiera tenendo premuto il pulsante [SPLIT] e premendo la nota desiderata.

Impostazioni: da C-1 a G9

FS1 Dest FS2 Dest SoftPd/FS1Dest SostPd/FS2Dest

Funzione assegnata ai pedali collegati ai connettori PEDAL [FOOT SWITCH 1] (FS1) e [FOOT SWITCH 2] (FS2) del pannello posteriore.

Impostazioni:

 OFF: nessuna funzione assegnata.  Sostenuto: effetto Sostenuto (solo per i suoni dei moduli SOUND COLLECTION, A.PIANO ed

E.Grand del modulo E.PIANO ). Utilizzando questa funzione solo le note che sono premute nel momento in cui si preme il pedale vengono sostenute.

 Soft: effetto Soft (solo per i suoni del modulo SOUND COLLECTION, A.PIANO ed E.Grand del

modulo E.PIANO ). Utilizzando questa funzione, quando si preme il pedale tutte le note suonate subiscono un leggero abbassamento di volume ed una timbrica più ovattata.

 FX1 ON: accensione/spegnimento di FX1 della sezione EFFECTS.  FX1 TAP: parametro controllato dal pulsante [TAP] per FX1.  FX2 ON: accensione/spegnimento di FX2 della sezione EFFECTS.  FX2 TAP: parametro controllato dal pulsante [TAP] per FX2.  REV ON: accensione/spegnimento dell’effetto della sezione REVERB.  Module ON: accensione/spegnimento dei moduli. Questa funzione deve essere abilitata per

ciascun modulo con i parametri Foot Switch 1 e Foot Switch 2 presenti nel menu del modulo interessato.

NOTA

Il parametro assegnato al pulsante [TAP] varia in funzione dell’effetto attualmente selezionato.

Per verificare quale parametro si controlla consultare la Sezione EFFECTS a pagina 32.

Quando il parametro Sustain Type (pag. 57) è impostato come Triple, questi campi vengono

visualizzati rispettivamente come SoftPd/FS1Dest e SostPd/FS2Dest ed assegnano la funzione al pedale sinistro (Soft) e centrale (Sostenuto) del triplo pedale collegato al connettore PEDAL

[SUSTAIN].

FC1 Dest FC2 Dest Mod.Wheel Dest

Funzione assegnata ai pedali collegati ai connettori PEDAL [FOOT CONTROLLER 1] (FC1) e [FOOT CONTROLLER 2] (FC2) del pannello posteriore ed alla ruota di modulazione (vedi sezione Ruote a pagina 5).

Impostazioni:

 OFF: nessuna funzione assegnata.  Expression: controllo continuo del volume durante l’esecuzione.  Modulation: controllo continuo della modulazione durante l’esecuzione.  Aftertouch: trasmissione del messaggio MIDI di Aftertouch sulle porte e canali MIDI impostati

nella sezione EXTERNAL.

 FX1 Amount: parametro controllato dalla manopola [AMOUNT] per FX1.  FX1 Rate: parametro controllato dalla manopola [RATE] per FX1.  FX2 Amount: parametro controllato dalla manopola [AMOUNT] per FX2.  FX2 Rate: parametro controllato dalla manopola [RATE] per FX2.

Ruotare il dial data entry per modificare il valore del parametro corrente ed utilizzare i pulsanti [<] o [>] per scorrere i parametri della sezione. Per abbandonare il sottomenu e tornare al menu EDIT PROGRAM, premere il pulsante [EXIT]. Premere il pulsante [EDIT]/[STORE] per tornare direttamente alla videata principale del Program.

Sezione COMMON

Il menù COMMON contiene i parametri generali del Program che determinano il funzionamento di tutte le sezioni da esse composto. Per accedere a questo menu, nella videata EDIT PROGRAM (pag. 28) posizionare il cursore sul campo COMMON e premere il dial data entry.
