Opera 450 Description
Opera 450 is a three-manual organ, 32-note new generation pedalboard, equipped with 54 stops (+ 7 orchestral). Ideal for the advanced organist, Vanguard 450 incorporates the Physis Plus Editor (free) that will allow the user many customization operations both in terms of generation and sound diffusion. The Tracker Touch effect has been improved, giving a pleasant “real feeling” never had before. It is also mixed with the Tracker Noise that adds some details of woody noise typical of the mechanical organ. The dual front woofer amplification system with a sustainable Class D digital amplifier saves electricity for maximum efficiency. The reverberation system has been completely redesigned as a real TRUE STEREO reverb, with numerous editable parameters and more slot presets for the user. Vanguard 450 has all the new Pipe sets made by Viscount, with the possibility to customize them with numerous additional orchestral voices.
