Legend Live : New organ for me

3 years ago

My previous organ was Hammond XK1, and I've used it for the past 10 years. I upgraded to Viscount legend live, and so far I have no complaints. Sounds really good, better than XK1. I'm running it to Leslie 760, but I've tried the onboard leslie sim with my headphones and it sounds very, very good on slow. You can tell it's not a real leslie on fast, but I could see myself using it for gigs where I can't take the real deal.

What bothered me the most before purchasing was the claims (from some people online) that the action is too stiff. I don't find it too stiff, maybe it's not identical to the real hammond, but the action is just fine. And the trigger point is quite high, so you can play very fast.

If I had to choose one thing that I don't like - it's the blue LEDs. They are quite bright, and I think I'll use a permanent marker to dim them a bit. But it's a minor annoyance in otherwise superb keyboard. 5 stars.
