Product care
Placement
Avoid subjecting the Viscount Viva to high temperatures such as
direct sunlight for example. Do not leave the instrument in very
damp and dusty places or near equipment likely to produce strong
interference or magnetic fields such as radios, TVs, monitors, etc.
Make sure the instrument is placed on a steady level surface.
Do not apply to the instrument excessive vibrations or violent
shocks.
Power supply
Do not connect the instrument to the same electrical circuit as other
equipment likely to create line noise, such as electrical motors or
lighting dimmer switches.
Always remember to disconnect the instrument from the main power
supply when it will not be used for any length of time.
Maintenance
For periodic cleaning, use only a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn
dirt wipe with a damp cloth but dry the instrument thoroughly
straight away with a dry cloth. Do not attempt to use
benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind for cleaning
operations; in this way no harm will be done to the finish and the
materials the instrument is made from.
ENGLISH
The instrument contains no user serviceable parts. Do not make any
attempt to repair or modify the instrument; seek the help of an
authorized Service Center for any necessary repairs.
25
Layer and performance concepts
The layer is an area on the keyboard associated with a particular
sound: its extension is user defined.
Viva has two layers, therefore can reproduce up to two sounds at
the same time, one above the other or “split” on the keyboards.
Each layer has an independent volume, it has also its proprietary
dynamic and other customization parameters, such as the MIDI
transmission channel.
In addition to the “note” data, the layer contains all setup and MIDI
control data to be sent out when it is recalled (such as Program
Change, Bank Select, aux Control Change, default control data).
The Performance can be defined as a program that contains all
information that prepare the instrument to a certain setup.
In a Performance, for example, in addition to the timbres selected
for the two layers, can be stored the Key Velocity response curves
(dynamic), and can be set the MIDI channels in reference to the
layers, the Program Changes, the controls, and other parameters
that we will examine later on in this manual.
26
The control panel
VOLUME FADER
Looking the front panel from left to right, firstly we found
the fader for the volume control of the whole instrument.
LAYER SELECTION
After the volume, we find two faders that control the voulme of the
two separate layers; under these faders we find two
keys [1/L] [2/R] with LED. Pressing the key (LED is
then lit) we select the layer in which we operate
(timbre selection of parameter editing).
THE DISPLAY AND ITS KEYS
At the center of the control panel we see a 3 digit display, with three
function keys.
ENGLISH
At the right side of the display
we find an encoder that is
used to increase or decrease
the value of the displayed
parameter.
Increasing
is
clockwise,
decreasing
is
counterclockwise.
27
The SPLIT key activates the split of the sounds on the keyboards
(layer). When the SPLIT key is active, the
first layer is active on the left side of the
split point, the second on the right. When
the SPLIT key is not active, the two layers
cover the whole range of the keyboard, are both active and working.
To change the split point: press the SPLIT key until the display
flashes and indicates the split note on the display. Pressing the
desired key as a new split point the value is selected and indicated
on the display. Pressing SPLIT again the new point is stored and the
number of Performance appears again.
To eliminate the split point press the SPLIT key again.
The TRANSPOSE key is used to transpose the keyboard tune.
Pressing it shortly the function is activated, and pressing the key
again the function is cancelled. Pressing TRANSPOSE for at least two
seconds you can change the transpose interval, acting on the
encoder. The values go from –12 to +12 (they correspond to 1
octave up and one down), and they are visualized on the display.
The STORE key enables the STORE Mode: this is the memory save
mode for the editing on a Performance (see the specific chapter).
Under the encoder we find the PERFORMANCE and EDIT keys.
When we switch on the instrument, or we play normally, the
keyboard is in PERFORMANCE mode; it is possible
to access the EDIT mode when we press the EDIT
key, to modify or set some parameters. Pressing
PERFORMANCE we go back to the Performance
mode again.
With the EDIT mode we can set all parameters included in a
Performance.
On the right side of the control panel, we find the timbre/parameter
selection matrix. The controls act on the layer selected with the
LAYER SELECTION keys.
28
PERFORMANCE MODE
When the keyboard is switched on, after the display of the “Portable
Piano” words, the number of
performance 01 is displayed
and the timbre “Grand Piano”.
To select another timbre,
press simply the two keys of
the
matrix,
the
timbre
indicated at the “crossing
point” on the matrix will be
activated.
TIMBRES
First row - piano sounds:

Fifth row – Synthetic sounds that can be used as PAD (background)
or LEAD (Solo voices). Betweeen these you can find the MUTE
preset, that allow to use one muted layer (performances with one
sound only).
PERFORMANCES
Viscount Viva has 99 Performances, all user editable; the first 30 are
factory preset (so to get confidence with the instrument), and the 31
to 99 are “empty” (preset with GRAND PIANO timbre). You can use
these to create your own performances.
30
EDIT MODE
The Edit mode allow to set or modify all the parameters of a
Performance. Pressing the Edit key under the encoder, the matrix is
activated.
In the matrix the sounds aer indicated in black, while on the borders
the parameters are indicated in blue color, near to the keys.
STORE FUNCTION
Once selected the parameter to modify, whose LED will flash, with
the encoder we tune the value, that is displayed. This operation can
be repeated for all parameters that we want to change. At the first
editing the STORE key LED is lit.
Once adited all parameters, press the STORE key again. The
Performance number appears again, with a “d” letter (“d” indicates
“destination”, this is the target performance in which we will store
our modifications). Using the encoder it is possible to select a new
target performance.
Press again STORE (as a confirm), the LED will be switched off and
the display shows again, after some seconds, the Performance
number with the “P” digit.
ENGLISH
The instruments records the last modification done, therefore if we
call the Edit mode again, the last parameter modification will be
shown.
31
IMPORTANT NOTE
Every modification done in editing mode is immediately active and
the values in editing are sent to the MIDI port and to the MIDI
channel of the layer. This to make every modification immediately
“audible”.
All the modifications done in the Edit mode remain in memory. This
means that, once selected one function, it is not needed to store it
immediately. It is possible to make a set of editing and store
everything at the end (e.g. also change the editing layer with the
[LAYER SELECTION] keys) and save everything at the end of the
edit session.
Please note that, if the performance is changed without saving, all
modification done will be lost.
TUNE FUNCTION
The keyboard is tuned at A=440 Hz. If we need to change the
tuning, press EDIT key until the word TUN is displayed. Leaving the
key, the distance value of the tuning from the 440 Hz value is
displayed in Cents (0=tuned).
Rotate the encoder clockwise (pitch increased) or counterclockwise
(pitch decreased) to get the desired tuning. Press STORE to select
and store. The tuning value is a system value, therefore valid of all
timbres and performances.
32
PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
REVERB
The REVERB function allow to control, for the layer in editing, the
reverb effect amount; the possible values go from 0 to 127.
As descripted before, the value is displayed and controllable through
the encoder.
CHORUS
The CHORUS function allow to control, for the layer in editing, the
chorus effect amount; the possible values go from 0 to 127.
There is only one chorus value valid for both layers.
BRILLIANCE
ENGLISH
The BRILLIANCE function allow to control, for the layer in editing,
the brilliance of the timbre; the possible values go from 0 to 127.
33
VELOCITY
The VELOCITY parameter allow to assign to the selected layer one of
the eight dynamic response curves available.
The available curves are the following:
HEAVY
EXTRA-LIGHT
Very light dynamic
response
curve,
with the maximum
dynamic values reached very
quickly.
A curve with very little expression.
“Hard” dynamic
response curve
which
is
still
fairly linear in
the
medium
dynamic zones. Suitable where
the zone to be controlled is to be
set a little in the background,
while still providing a certain
degree of linear expressiveness.
LIGHT
A light dynamic
response
curve.
Although high MIDI
dynamic values are
reached quite quickly, the curve still
guarantees a fair degree of dynamic resolution.
EXTRA HEAVY
A
very
hard
curve. While the
maximum MIDI
dynamic value is
still
in
the
conversion table,
it is very difficult to reach this
level.
LINEAR
This is a linear (or
standard) dynamic
curve, in which the
velocity applied to
the
keyboard
is
converted into a
dynamic in linear mode.
FLAT 64
Flat dynamic curve with
Velocity value fixed at 64.
FLAT 96
FLAT127
34
The value on the curves on the display is as follows:
OCTAVE
The OCTAVE function allow, for the layer being edited, a octave
transpose for the selected sound, up to two octave higher or lower.
The selectable values are from –2 to 2.
MIDI
OUT CH
The out channel function defines the MIDI transmission channel for
the selected zone. The possible values are:
OFF: the MIDI values are not sent
0-16: MIDI output channel
ENGLISH
•
•
35
BANK H (BANK SELECT MSB)
The BANK SELECT MSB function allows setting of the value of CC 0
to be sent when the Performance is loaded on the channel/port
assigned to the zone concerned.
The display will show the actual parameter value.
The possible values are:
•
•
OFF: Control Change not sent
0-27: Value of CC 0
N.B.: each variation made to this parameter will trigger transmission of the
Bank Select LSB, Bank Select MSB and Program Change messages with the
values currently set, on the MIDI channel assigned to the zone being edited.
BANK L (BANK SELECT LSB)
Similar to the above paragraph.
The BANK SELECT LSB function allows setting of the value of CC 32
to be sent when the Performance is loaded on the channel/port
assigned to the zone concerned.
The display will show the actual parameter value.
The possible values are:
•
•
OFF: Control Change not sent
0-27: Value of CC 32
N.B.: each variation made to this parameter will trigger transmission of the
Bank Select LSB, Bank Select MSB and Program Change messages with the
values currently set, on the MIDI channel assigned to the zone being edited.
PRG
The PROGRAM function allows setting of the value of the Program
Change to be sent when the Performance is loaded on the
channel/port assigned to the zone concerned.
•
•
OFF: Program Change not sent
1÷128: Value assignable to PRG
36
IN MODE
Viva has four configuration modes for the [MIDI IN] port:
OFF: messages incoming on the [MIDI IN] port are not loaded.
SYSTEM: The [MIDI IN] port is used to control the instrument. With
a reception channel present, the messages on this channel will be
interpreted in accordance with the following logic:
a) The note messages will be interpreted as if the notes were really
played on the keyboard (and therefore, with the division of the
layers, which transmit on the out ports and channel assigned to
them)
b) The Program Change data will be interpreted as Program Change.
c) The Control Change data will be sent on the active layer/s.
SOFT-THRU: The MIDI data arriving into the [MIDI IN] port will be
sent to the [MIDI OUT] port without being acquired from the
instrument. The data sent will be sum to the messages generated
from the instrument.
SOUND: The data arriving into the [MIDI IN] port will be sent to the
internal sound generation, that will use all 16 MIDI channels.
EXCLUSION: The data arriving into the [MIDI IN] port will be sent to
the internal sound generation, exception made for channels 1 and 2,
that are used for the instrument active layers.
ENGLISH
The [MIDI IN] port configurations are displayed as follows:
37
IN CH
The in channel function defines the MIDI receive channel for Viva.
Once selected the value, the display will show the receive channel
set.
The possible values are 0 to 16.
The selected value is immediately active and saved.
B. DUMP
The BULK DUMP function allows to send to a sequencer the Viva
memory content, from the [MIDI OUT] port, in order to save the
programmed Performances and have an external data backup,
The system recalls the Bulk Dump function showing “bld” on the
display, indicating the build of the file, and proceeds automatically
with the data transmission displaying from “S01” to “S99” (“s” =
send).
Once made, the display show the word “don” =done.
The receive function is automatic, if we send a previously recorded
file to the MIDI IN port.
Viva recognizes automatically the data present on the MIDI IN port,
and starts the receive stopping all other operation: the display
shows three lines and SPLIT key flashes.
Once loaded the configuration, Viva restarts automatically and
activate the new configuration.
If the receive was correct, the SPLIT key flashes.
In case of error, the display shows EEE and the procedure must be
repeated.
38
The back panel
Use normal AC cord for power supply.
Near the AC INPUT we find the POWER on switch.
At the center we find the three MIDI ports: [MIDI OUT], [MIDI
THRU], [MIDI IN], used for computer, sequencer, expander, etc.
At the right side we see two jack connector for [PEDALS]:
EXPR for expression pedal,
SUSTAIN for a switch pedal (contact normally open) as a dumper
pedal (sound “sustain” function).
Finally the audio outs [L/MONO] and [R], and the [PHONES]
connector.
ENGLISH
The [L/MONO] can be used if we need a MONO out from Viva.
