Legend Editor allows real-time adjustment and storage of all the sound generation parameters and effects of the Legend series instruments. In addition to this, it is possible to load other models of electromechanical organs. Legend Editor comes with a clear and simple user interface, adaptable to any screen resolution. In addition to adjusting and storing the parameters in the instrument, the application also allows you to save them in your own device, and to reload them if necessary in an easy and fast way. Specifically, Legend Editor allows you to: - Adjust the signal level of each individual drawbar; - Adjust the volume of the pedalboard and the clicks of the keyboard keys individually by type; - Adjust the operating parameters of the vibrato and chorus; - Select the distortion model; - Adjust the operating and shooting parameters of the two Rotary effects; - Adjust the physical and acoustic characteristics of the two Reverb effects; - Set the functions otherwise adjustable from the keyboard for the Legend Classic, Legend, Legend Live, and Legend Solo models. - Load other organ models instead of the ones currently stored in the instrument. - Save all the above parameters and reload them to the instrument if necessary. How it works: - Connect your device to the Legend organ by a USB cable and the Camera Connection Kit. - Press the [CONNECT] button in the app to connect to the organ. - Select the section of the parameters you want to change from the left panel of the app. - Drag the parameter slider to modify the value. - Press the [STORE] button in the app to permanently save the changes to the organ.

Brand-new app. Brand-new powerful editor. We've listened for the past 10 years and we've re-written the application from the ground up - with speed, features and usability in mind. A GPU-powered, fast and advanced integrated editor is part of TouchOSC on all platforms - create the most complex of control layouts with ease and precision. MIDI, OSC and more... TouchOSC supports sending and receiving any number of MIDI and OSC messages on many connections simultaneously. On top of OSC over UDP & TCP, we support every type of wired & wireless MIDI connection your device can offer, including MIDI over USB. Cross-Network. Synchronized editing. Multiple instances of TouchOSC can be connected on the network for synchronized editing. Use the precision of your desktop's mouse and keyboard for fine-grained, detailed editing - test-drive and preview in real-time on all connected touch-screen devices at the same time. Scripting and local messages. A lightweight and fast scripting engine allows deep access to all aspects of your controller and enables limitless customization and interactivity. For less complex tasks we've added local messages - simply wire up controls to transmit or display values; no need to break out the big (code) guns. Easy. This is only the beginning... We've supported and updated TouchOSC Mk1 for more than 10 years and we're planning to do the same for this new version. We've already got a whole bunch of features cooking that were just not quite ready yet. There is so much more to come... Welcome to the next generation!
