Viscount Legend Soul Update 1.06
I’ve been playing clonewheels for a long time, and while they’ve come a long way, there’s always been something missing — especially in the Leslie simulation. It’s often the high end that falls short: too thin, lacking warmth, or just not convincing in how the sound moves and breathes.
Recently, Viscount released a software update for the Legend Soul, featuring a completely rebuilt Leslie sim — and I’ve been exploring what it can do.
Watch my full walkthrough and sound demo in the video above.
What stood out to me immediately was the depth and body in the high frequencies — something I’ve personally found lacking in many clonewheel sims. This new update brings more stereo dimension, natural rotor movement, and a more dynamic response to your playing. No, it’s not a real Leslie cab — but within the world of hardware clonewheels, this is the most credible simulation I’ve heard so far.
It was first introduced at NAMM on the Legend One, the single-manual model, but the same software is available for the full Legend series, including the Legend Soul.
A big thanks to Pat Bianchi, who walked me through the technical details of this update and helped me understand what’s really changed under the hood.
If you play a Legend, or you’re simply into the Hammond world like I am, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
