Viscount Expanded Master Module: Advanced MIDI Control for Stage and Studio

The Viscount Expanded Master Module provides next-level control for the Legend '70s range, turning your keyboard into a fully-featured master controller. Designed for professional musicians, this model excels at managing multiple external devices and crafting sophisticated live setups. Real-time adjustment of key MIDI parameters makes splitting, layering, and routing a breeze during performances.

Its interface gives fast access to bank MSB/LSB, program changes, and up to three assignable MIDI CCs per zone—capabilities rarely found in built-in master controllers. Rotary knobs and dedicated switches enable live tweaks with precision.
