The Dexibell Vivo S8M is a stage piano with 88 weighted keys that comes loaded with 180 versatile organ sounds tailored to powerful live performances. These sounds are also featured in the Dexibell Vivo SX-8 sound module (article no. 524224), and in addition to the 100 factory organ presets, users can download even more sounds directly from the manufacturer's website to expand their library. Powered by Dexibell's innovative True to Life (T2L) technology, which combines sampling with physical modelling, the S8M offers deep and expressive sound customisation. Its intuitive interface features an LC display that provides clear menu navigation and real-time parameter information, and all of the sounds can be refined with vibrato and chorus, adding richness and depth - especially to the organ voices. What is more, a MIDI keyboard can be connected via the rear panel to control and play the sounds.
The TP-100 keyboard features 88 hammer-action keys with aftertouch, offering a responsive and expressive playing experience. It also features dual-layer and split modes for limitless experimentation, while the clean and well organised control layout ensures an intuitive workflow for selecting sounds and adjusting effects with ease. A centrally positioned LC display gives the user a clear overview of settings and parameter values, while the arrow buttons to the right of the display allow easy and intuitive navigation and the function buttons below the display make key options accessible in a flash. The Data Entry encoder in turn is used to fine-tune parameters or adjust the volume of selected songs. The rear panel offers MIDI connections, along with two unbalanced stereo 6.3mm (¼") jack and two balanced XLR output sockets. It also includes four pedal inputs for control over sustain, sound modification, and program changes, for example.
The Dexibell Vivo S8M is designed for organists and musicians looking to bring authentic organ sounds to the stage. Whether it's pianos, electric pianos, strings, choirs, brass, synthesizers, guitars, or basses, the Vivo S8M complements its extensive organ library with a wide range of versatile sounds suited to nearly any musical performance. Twelve independent DSP effects, including rotary, overdrive, and vibrato/chorus, add depth and character, especially to organ sounds. XLR outputs eliminate the need for a DI box, simplifying setups and slimming down the user's gear arsenal. A USB-to-host port manages audio and MIDI transfers, while a USB-to-device port is also provided for connecting external storage. Additionally, the Dexibell Vivo S8M supports wireless audio streaming and MIDI over Bluetooth, offering maximum flexibility on stage or in the studio.
The Italian company Dexibell comprises a team of engineers and musicians who have been working together since the mid-1990s. Their mission is to faithfully reproduce the sound of rare acoustic instruments, such as Romantic-era grand pianos or historic church organs, through digital pianos and sound modules. With their proprietary T2L Technology, they achieve exceptional sound quality while offering extensive customisation through physical modelling. Impressively, their products employ up to 320 oscillators to deliver unlimited polyphony. Dexibell instruments are used by renowned musicians worldwide, including Brian Culbertson, Sheléa Frazier, and Loren Gold (The Who, Chicago).
For sound and effect recall, the DX VIVO S8M uses Dexibell's Seamless Changes technology to facilitate smooth transitions from one sound to another. With 12 independent DSP effects, and independently programmable outputs that can be used individually to route the Bass, Lower, Coupled, and Main sections, the S8M offers complete control over the mix. Dedicated encoders in the effects section provide precise control over effect parameters for each part, and each section also features independent reverb control, offering a choice of 24 algorithms to shape the sound's spatial depth and character. The keyboard can be transposed in semitone steps, ideal for accompanying acoustic instruments or performing songs in different keys. Two additional features make chord playing even more intuitive: Chord Enhancer enriches automatically generated harmonies, while Chord Freeze lets players sustain and repeat chords in different variations using just one finger.
