CRUMAR Mojo 61 Black - Limited Edition

We don't want to raise the stakes or change the game... we just want to offer the best possible experience from a modern electromechanical keyboard instrument. The result is the Crumar Mojo 61, a compact digital organ with drawbars and an electric piano featuring a 61-note waterfall keyboard and a practical, intuitive front panel. All of this is housed in a sturdy yet elegant cabinet.

The Mojo 61 uses cutting-edge DSP technology derived from the GSi Gemini and is based on GSi's VB3-II engine-the same electromechanical organ simulation found in the popular two-manual Mojo. Under the hood lies a vast array of innovative technologies that intuitively blend modern audio processing with a classic, easy-to-navigate interface. The control panel features dedicated buttons, knobs, drawbars, and LEDs, with a clear layout of the various functions that offers a true "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" experience.

Everything you need for live performances. Every essential parameter can be selected on the fly, with the simple press of a button or the turn of a knob. Any Wi-Fi-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) can be instantly connected to the Mojo 61! Just open the Web App editor in your favorite browser to gain total control over all the sound and functional parameters the Mojo 61 has to offer. Create your own sound, exactly the way you want it! The Mojo 61 features 22 different vintage tonewheel organs: choose the one you like best, adjust the parameters to your taste, and save it to recall it instantly during your next performance.

It's not just about having an amazing tonewheel organ. The Mojo 61 also features an extremely expressive and rich pipe organ, modeled after a classic Baroque-style organ, with 8 stops plus a mix, three couplers, and vibrato. There are no samples, and don't expect hanging notes-every sound generated by Mojo 61 is pure real-time physical modeling with full polyphony.

To round out the organ lineup, the Mojo 61 includes two classic transistor-based instruments: the Italian Compact DeLuxe and the Red Tolex Continental. Both feature an extraordinary sound that makes you forget all about the tone of a real organ.

Want more flexibility? Two of the most popular electric pianos are included among the presets, selectable with the simple press of a key. Mojo 61 offers meticulously modeled physical simulations of a classic Tine Piano, a Reed Piano, and a Clavinet-an essential part of the Mojo experience. Finally, the sound of a hybrid acoustic piano is also available (based on both sampling and physical modeling technologies). Both electric pianos are flawlessly emulated, capable of recreating the feel and sound produced by their mechanical counterparts. Every subtle nuance has been reproduced-from sympathetic resonance and mechanical noises to the behavior of the sustain pedal and every other detail found in the real instruments. Everything is exactly where it should be!

What is a tonewheel organ without a high-quality rotary-speaker effect and a screaming tube overdrive? How can you even think of playing an electric piano without a fantastic stereo phaser or stereo chorus? And what about transistor organ amps? And then... let's not forget the reverb! To enrich and round out the Mojo experience, a comprehensive and powerful effects section lets you easily customize any sound to your liking. None of the Mojo's effects lack punch. Each one has been meticulously modeled after some of the most famous vintage stompboxes, the most sought-after guitar and bass amps, the most complex reverb algorithms, and, of course, the magnificent classic 122/147 tube amps.

It's hard to believe that such a compact instrument can produce such a big sound! But it's true-it's the Crumar Mojo 61.

Want flexibility, modularity, and better portability? Add the optional lower manual keyboard. You won't need an additional power supply, and no special tools are required to combine the two keyboards: the Mojo 61 simply sits on top of the lower keyboard, aligned thanks to rubber feet that fit into the holes on the lower keyboard. A single special MIDI cable will connect the two units for power and data. Additionally, the optional lower manual can accommodate the optional Half-Moon rotary switch, which can be easily attached or detached with two hand-tightened screws and a TRS jack cable. The keys and finishes match perfectly, allowing you to use the upper trigger on both the lower and upper manuals. The experience will be that of a full-fledged dual-manual organ clone that can be easily split according to concert needs. And... of course, both the Mojo 61 and the optional Lower Manual come with concert bags!

If you feel the need for lower drawbars, the D9U is the one for you. The D9U is Crumar's first Arduino-based open-source project, sold as a DIY kit or pre-assembled. It can be completely reprogrammed or hacked by an Arduino expert, or used as-is to control the lower or upper drawbars. It features a built-in class-compliant USB-MIDI port, from which it also draws power (no additional power supply required!), and also offers a traditional MIDI UART port via a TRS mini-jack connection on the side. It can be used with many other tonewheel organs or synthesizers from other manufacturers, and works perfectly with organ plugins such as GSi VB3-II. To learn more, click on the image above.
