As soon as he said no one uses V3 I said "oh, I don't then he proceeds to use it in one of my favorite applications! Just bought a legend. Thanks for all you do, Woody!❤
I have a Legend JDF which I absolutely love to bits. You have told me what a couple of buttons do here that I couldn't understand and wow, the sound . Thanks so much !
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Best regards
Monster Kit !, great vid Woody thanks for sharing, I didn't know any of that stuff, even though I'm a big fan of organ music/players :).
Jon Lord would be happy.
Nice to see something different from the tons of identical jazz noodling videos. I am a classic rock keyboardist and currently use an old, analog Korg CX-3 organ through a Danelectro Spring King pedal and a Neo Ventilator II. It gives a great ballsy sound but the keyboard is as lousy it can be, impossible to do palm smears or precise, fast soloing. So I am reading up on what´s available out there with the hope of being able to invest in something better some day. The Legend sounds really great and the appearance is just massive. Not that I actually need the double manuals for my style of playing and space is always a premium commodity at most gigs but the look is so imposing and there is something so powerful over it that I am irresistibly drawn to it. I particularly like the original version with the added, reverse keys and the proper rocker switches. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
appreciate the comment and good luck with your quest! double manual is twice the fun, but yes, takes up a huge amount of space in a small studio space.
Great organ! I have the Legend Classic since April 2017 and it is so powerful!
what is that model? single manual or module?
@@WoodyPianoShack Hi, it is double manual.. th-cam.com/video/ecXBbkiR5qo/w-d-xo.html
I owned a 1968 model portable Hammond (still needed four people to carry it. Lol) but had mine rigged up to a guitar amp ei John lord from deep purple style. The round 11 pin socket is vintage vintage and pretty much near obsolete if you haven't got a vintage Leslie speaker. Nice to see every possible type of connectivity included as more old and vintage gear can be used rather than sitting collecting dust.
Thank you!
The Piano Shack looks a bit quiet lately - is it an early summer holiday Woody?
Hope you are all keeping well - I look forward to your next production.
I was wondering the same.
Same... It's been a while now....
Same - hope all is well Woody.
Woody you're just so cool! Years ago when I played Hammond organs in cocktail lounges I was quite good at making drawbar registrations and quick changes but not all out or in. I varied the individual drawbars from 0 to 8 according to my personal taste but then again I don't play typical Hammond organ jazz. Playing a B3 in a cocktail lounge for three or four hours can become monotonous. You can only do so much with 9 drawbars and percussion. The greatest thing that came my way in the 80s was the DX7 (I still have mine) that I set on top of the Hammond. That Viscount has a strikingly realistic Hammond sound. The weight of a Hammond B3 was always an issue. I wonder how the keys feel when playing the Viscount as compared to a real Hammond B3? I remember when the H-100 came out I found the keys to be a little difficult to get used to because when pressing down a key on an H-100 your pressing down many more contacts than the B3 keys had under them.
hi, some say the keys are quite stiff compared to hammond, but i've seen joey d. tearing it up on his legend, so I don't think that's a show stopper!
@@WoodyPianoShack You know Woody there was something interesting you mentioned in this video. The bass pedals have a separate output so you can have the bass sounds un-tremmed. When I played on B3 that was one thing I did not like was that the pedals came through the Leslie. I customized mine (reversible) and ran the pedal voices out to their own bass channel. The problem was that the bass could no longer be controlled with the swell pedal. I had ideas on how to change that but I sold my B3 and bought an X-66. I many times have regretted doing that. I married a lot of strange Leslie speakers to B3 organs for several band guys. Those were the days.
@@HD7100 great tale, thanks! yeah, only the pedal tones come out of this output though, but you also have a FX Send for the entire organ, pre-rotary, so there is lots of flexibility on how you record and mix.
Moc Ti to kecá. To všetko vieme. Ukecané americké video.
I am looking forward to buying one of these organs. However, being very old, basic amateur, when it comes to technics I am completely lost. Is it possible to buy one of these, plug it in and start to play? Do I need any other equipment such as a Leslie or any thing else?
Is Woody taking some time off? Well deserved if so. I just hope he’s alright.
Thanks for the interesting review! What kind of stand are you using? Does it have optimal height and stability? Would you recommend her for Legend Solo? Thanks.
Hi, this is an old roland stand, don't the model, but very stable and versatile, works well for all my keyboards.
Hello, thank you for you work!
I think the vibrato and percussion are really awesome on this one. Do you know if the sound quality and the options are the same on the legend solo, is there really any difference except the fact that it hasn't the doudle keys?
less drawbars on the solo, you lose the leslie lever, but sound engine identical, i'm considering buying the solo myself!
OK thank you! That's interesting.
It's hard picking the right hammond reproduction kind of keyboard, there is a lot of very cool machine avaible. I think the viscount organs have personality, it sound unique in a way and also it looks elegant with the wood design on the sign, witch is nice for an organ. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the overdrive simulation, from what I've heard I prefer the overdrive of the sk series from hammond, but it's hard to tell because I didn't get the opportunity to play one of those in real life
I’ll add to Woody’s reply, and agree: the sound engine is the same and the differences are more in how you interact with the sound engine. The solo has the same great sound but the Hammond-fanatic interactions are more limited. I guess that puts me in the Hammond Fanatic” camp, as I also chose the Legend Live for all of the interactivity and it has been great for me; I gig with it all the time. But if that not your thing, the solo has the same great core engine.
will you keep this amazing beast forever😃
hello sam, i'm still thinking if I should buy this or the smaller "solo" version
Just quietly.... I think Woody may be building a small studio in his backyard area. THAT.....should draw him out. Yes? 👍
Best wishes mate, hope you haven’t drawn the short straw. 😊
Sounds more real than many I've heard on TH-cam lately. Is the sound we are hearing direct or micked?
just direct line out into audio interface.
Hei from Finland :) , what stand are you using in this video for the organ ? I was wondering would this require some stand with longer support arms or would some with 30-40cm support arms work ?
hi, using a table/top style roland stand, but yes, it does not feel deep enough, i've been close to having it tip off the back
Check out the Hammond-style cabinet design posted by Frank Montis. I had one built by a find and it’s great; looks like a real Hammond on stage, and it is simple set up and carry. I can perch a synth on top too!
Is that the Roland KS-12 stand? I was wondering if it's a good fit for the Legend
that's the one, yes! it's quite ok, but the legend is incredibly deep, so still feels like it could tip forwards or back. can't think of any stand that would be better tho.
Seems very good value for money. Shame I’m useless at playing! 😩
Again, a very good video marred by lack of control of audio level causing very annoying clipping distortion.
Wrong. There is no clipping on any of my videos. You need to check your playback chain. Perhaps you are mistaking the wonderful sound ov an overdriven tube amp for clipping?
I am a new subscriber, I like your explanations and I have an advice to ask you, which keyboard whose keys make the least noise, I have a novation impulse s61 and the keys make a lot of noise, when you plays, could you help me I am looking for a midi keyboard. I do not like too much with pads etc ... very simple keyboard to compose the music without the noise of keys it is horible. I await your help and thank you again. Tony
hi! i have yet to find a silent or even very quiet keyboard action. it's not something that bothers me though, except when my vocal mic picks up the noise.
@@WoodyPianoShack merci beaucoup to have answered me a small question which keyboard do you prefer novation impulse 61or komplete Kontrol s61???very thank’s.Tony
Woody is having a small Hatius because of moving to a different part of Sweden so needing time to sort move and settling to new home etc. Stayed tuned as Vids are still coming but fewer at the moment.
I have always been so intimidated by the controls on these organs
don't be, synths are much more complicated!
@@WoodyPianoShack just thinking of the last time I got on stage to play an unfamiliar B3 with leslie. I think the volume pedal was the biggest challenge. It was just too much for the inexperienced!
Très belle présentation de ce magnifique instrument.
Viscount a réalisé un très bel orgue,qui est certainement le meilleur clone su4 le marché .
Je te félicite aussi pour la qualité de ce vidéo, qui restitue de façon superbe le son de ce clavier .
Je me permets de te demander un conseil, pour réaliser des vidéos, avec ce son.
Comment fais-tu ? Prise de son sur caméra, smartphone, micro séparé carte son …?
Pour info je dispose d’unGenos d’un Hammond SKX, mais jusqu’a présent mes vidéos sont avec un son affreux.
Merci pour ta réponse et encore bravo pour ton excellent travail !
Jacques
Don't you have the sx700 now? Would love to see more on it,or the 900.👍🖖🏻
no, i never got the 700 curious about the 600 actually...
@@WoodyPianoShack you had the 900, I think you would dislike the 600 because isn't it less then the 9 and 7 also no touch screen. But I don't know what you would like I'm just assuming, I would enjoy you reviewing the 700 as I am waiting for one to come into stock right now on order.
Also, could you play the theme from brookside(I'm sure you remember that show) in the style of Jean m jarre? That would blow my mind lol.
Love watching your reviews and playing excellent viewing cheers. Be lucky. Ps please check my totally noob playing of my new Modx6 on my chnl, I'm not good at playing I tend to create(painting music) I call it. Hey it's the enjoyment isn't it also. If music soothes the soul then play on ehy👍
@@allanallen1835 i'm not a huge fan of touch screens on music instruments, prefer physical buttons, so that's an advantage :) and sometimes simple is better...
Fun to see my Ledgend on youtube :)
it's yours now then? if so, that's pretty awesome!
@@WoodyPianoShack Yes, works great, lovely upgrade :)
You could make a 90's house track with the right settings.
Is it analog or digital?
purely digital!
Hey! Casio CT-S1 review coming soon?
i'm hearing a lot of good things about it, but no plans on my side, sorry!
@@WoodyPianoShack all's good. Just wondering what small portable keyboard to buy.. I need something pretty small so I'm currently considering either The Yamaha p121 or the Casio CT-S1. I Might go ahead with the Casio even though the controls are hard to understand and remember, plus it is missing L+R audio outputs.. but the size, weight, action and speakers are meant to be great. Hopefully I can try it out soon in some shop. Thank you.
merci mon ami j ai mon viscount jeudi je l ai commandé
Čítať vieme !!!
Hey woody! Long time no see.. What happened to your vidoes! It's been one month since you've posted this last video!.. Waiting for your reply through msg or vidoes, i hope..!
Where’s Woody?
@Paul He quit.
@@WAZA___ Hey Waza, that sucks. Woody is awesome.
Demo suggestion to earn thousands of views - and inform clonewheel organ players, and
motivate Nord to redesign the Electro 6D lousy, thin, shrill B3 organ voices: Compare Electro 6d (not old
4) vs. Yamaha YC 61 and Viscount Legend. Some identical drawbar settings, same musical example across lowest to
highest keys. Include this interesting, informative experiment - the Viscount Legend will obviously strongly
defeat the Electro and YC61 for authentic fatness and top octave mellowness. So next, try using the YC61 and Electro's onboard
eqs, and adjust to see how close you can get them to sound, across entire key range, to the un-eqed Legend. Both
with Leslie sims of all turned on and off, because onboard sims also color the tonal quality significantly. Can you,
with onboard eq's, get a very similar tone across all keys?
thanks for the suggest, i already did comprehensive demo of legend vs yc, don't have a nord at the moment...
So you do a demo/comparison and not a Leslie in the room. That is pretty lame.
Nice. Up to certain points. You go (speak) too fast and in some instances there is no focus on the (pots/push buttons) settings - just showing your hands in position on the keyboard. so as the matter of fact It is more and less good for nothing. Sorry to say that. So many useless words. I understand you´re paid by the company but still - make it useable, man! Speak action no money!
Why buy a Viscount, if you want a
Hammond sound you buy a Hammond.
are you talking digital hammons, many say the viscount is better than the hammond/suzuki digitals
