Hello from France, i' m also an organ player and following you on youtube being really entousiast and admirative on your playing.

I had the opportunity of playing and testing the Mojo 61 in Bordeaux, but I had a deception not about the sounds ,truelly about the touch of the keyboard especcially when you try to express an electric piano sound or accoustic piano sound,because the response of the keyboard compared to the Nord Electro for example is very "flat"... So i bought an Nord Electro 5D 73, and there is another reason to my point of vue;when you play an electric piano, you need more than 61 keys, and the octaver is not something you can easyly use on stage... When will we get a 73 Keys Mojo, with a better keyboard felling for piano sounds? I know you are in contact with the Crumar staff, so that you could ask them the possibility of that fabulous Mojo 73 !!

I have a Mojo61 but it's going back to the shop. It's terrible. The acoustic piano is awful, the top keys seem to have sustain engaged, some notes seem to distort, there are no parameters to edit. One EP has the same problem and the Wi-Fi/editor doesn't work properly! The keybed feels like it has treacle on it. What a disappointment. The overall sound wasn't that good, sounds like a cheap digital synth, I couldn't fix it with the EQ either. I tried the "leakage" and that just didn't sound right. I thought the Combo-F (Farfisa) wasn't as buzzy as it should be, the Combo-V was ok. The EPs needed adjusting to match the keybed but as the editor didn't work. The (drain?) pipe organ sounds terrible. I was getting frustrated with the thing, I can only think the one I got is faulty in some way. My comparison is based on I have the original organs C3, Conti, Farfisa and Rhodes 73.

Fatar keybeds are total junk. The action is terrible, there are what 2 velocity contacts per key trying to do the work of 9, which cannot possibly replace the 9 contacts in the real Hammond organ, with long leverage lengths and so on. Hammond has gone back to a hybrid mechanical/ digital key contact system using some real contacts in the XK-5. Pedals are not included with any clone. If you have $2500 US dollars burning a hole in your pocket for a hammond style organ, why would you get a fake? Why not just buy two A100s for that money? Clones are junk compared to the real organ. I hear Hammonds are rare in Europe, but in the US there's no good reason to buy a clone.

Hi Gabe, of course Hammond organs are great, there's no discussion about that. But have you ever tried one of the Crumars yourself? A lot of really great musicians use it for studio and live performing. Frank Montis works with a few of the best jazz musicians in the Netherlands and also uses Crumar a lot. I hope if you ever have the possibility to try one, you'll be as enthousiastic as we are about the Crumar organs. If not, you still have your beloved Hammond organ😉.

Because the blues is the basics for many genres that came later. Most of the Hammond’s fame started with Jimmy Smith, who plays (jazz)blues.
Fatar keybeds are total junk. The action is terrible, there are what 2 velocity contacts per key trying to do the work of 9, which cannot possibly replace the 9 contacts in the real Hammond organ, with long leverage lengths and so on. Hammond has gone back to a hybrid mechanical/ digital key contact system using some real contacts in the XK-5. Pedals are not included with any clone. If you have $2500 US dollars burning a hole in your pocket for a hammond style organ, why would you get a fake? Why not just buy two A100s for that money? Clones are junk compared to the real organ. I hear Hammonds are rare in Europe, but in the US there's no good reason to buy a clone.

Hi Gabe, of course Hammond organs are great, there's no discussion about that. But have you ever tried one of the Crumars yourself? A lot of really great musicians use it for studio and live performing. Frank Montis works with a few of the best jazz musicians in the Netherlands and also uses Crumar a lot. I hope if you ever have the possibility to try one, you'll be as enthousiastic as we are about the Crumar organs. If not, you still have your beloved Hammond organ😉.

@@themusicalliance I found the keybed on the Mojo61 like it had treacle poured over it. I have a C3 and it's not the same and a Viscount DB5 which as a "loose" feel to it, maybe too loose but it's better than the sluggy one the Mojo61 has.

Did you just call Fatar Keybeds bad? Did hell just freeze over or something without me knowing?
How do you get to the acoustic piano and clarinet on the mojo 61?
