Viscount A.Piano Module 2GB – Acoustic Piano Module for Viscount Legend ’70s MKI and MKII Series Keyboards

OVERVIEW

The new Viscount acoustic piano module has been completely updated, with double the memory and processing power to maximise the feeling of realism while playing.

Designed for the Viscount Legend ’70s MKII series while remaining fully backwards compatible with MKI models, the A.Piano 2GB module delivers an expansive collection of highly detailed acoustic piano sounds, including grand pianos, baby grands, upright pianos, and layered performance textures. Powered by Viscount’s advanced HDS (High Definition Sampling) technology, the module captures the depth, articulation, and dynamics of real acoustic instruments with remarkable realism.

With doubled internal memory, redesigned sample libraries, and expanded tonal flexibility through the MKII’s dual DSP system, the A.Piano 2GB module provides a deeply expressive playing experience. Real-time Dynamic and Brilliance controls allow performers to shape tonal response instantly, while deeper editing capabilities are accessible via the Legend ’70s Editor application for advanced sound customisation.
