In this demontration you will get a first hand close up look of this exciting new keyboard including a sound comparison .~ Thanks Tony Please Help $$ Me Do what I Do! www.paypal.com...
Thats a great organ for sure. Somehow I allways starts smiling when sitting and watching Tony play. I love the way he plays his blues, as he does from 10:25. Thanx Tony. Keep on bluesin'
left hand is incredible
inspiring
I want one! As long as Tony comes with it! Such an amazing player!!
At 2:20 That left hand bass line.....INCREDIBLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Movin and groovin 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌
At 13:25 I got to know what that bass line left hand scale is hahahaha sound so good! And getting both hands together like that!
Sounds AHHH-MAZING!
So this is the fist time I listen this board. It looks like the ultimate jazz performer board. Epic hammond sound, console and killer e pianos with extra sounds. To bad there is virtually not a single one at any shop for trying. Really enjoyed this video thank you.
teucimex oh and cheaper than the nords but who isn't ;)
i love tony's face expressions. He makes everything fun
Thanks Tony for posting.....I love watching you skill...
Makes me want to learn to play the organ. Thank you so much!
"Oh yeah."
Well, I JUST discovered this by accident. Proud owner of a Hammond XK-Pro system, I have always been interested in where the 'Champs' of the NEW Hammond are. First Joey setting out with KeyB, and now Tony with Crumar...........WOW, how things change and move along... These clones are all OK, but why have these when you can have what has become the natural progression of the REAL Hammond Organ ??? Well, I guess having competition is good for business. Since 1967, I'm sticking with the 'H'
Really great demo. Tuned in to see
indistinguishable. Love it.
Cool ! Thank you Tony
Excellent both the Mojo and Tony! I'm guessing the Mojo is a specialist computer in a box, hence why it "needs to warm up" - anyway who cares. What I like a lot is the ability to 1. use different organ models and 2. upload my own! The Nord does not do that. From what I've learnt, the tonewheels all sound different, my 1961 does not sound like these (good or bad) but the Mojo allows me to upload mine!?
does anyone know if Crumar is planning on releasing a larger pedal board than the 13-note MojoPedals? Everything else about the Mojo sounds amazing, but 13 bass notes seems like nothing...a 20+ note pedal board with this organ would be unstoppable!
Great demo Tony!!
Sounds great. Although I can still hear a little rawness and bite in the Hammond. The Curmar sounds very close. I notice you have to change the bass settings on the Crumar but not on the Hammond. That leads me to believe the Hammond is a little more ballsy or beefier than the Crumar.
Excellent demo Tony!
The side-by-side comparison with the A100 is very impressive too!
Just to clarify though, is the A100 using the Leslie, while the Mojo is using the onboard Leslie sim? Or are both the A100 and Mojo using the same real Leslie?
Thanks!
I'm amazed at how close they've got the sound these days, compared to real spinning tone wheels. That's just floored me man! Out of all the Hammond clones I've been looking at, up until now the latest clones made by Hammond themselves I thought sounded the best - for me this sounds better. Those sweet licks really sold this instrument, that's some really nice playing! Thanks for a great demo:)
That's pretty darn cool. Maybe why there are so many large used Hammond organ's for sale right now? Only thing I hear is a little more punch, fullness, and tightness in the attack on the real Hammond. So close though. Nice comparison.
Hello Tony; As a great fan i am of Jimmy Smith, I am also a great fan of your playing and more than that respecting his way of playing the organ,and I really enjoy your videos too.
I played for years a Roland VK7 and now a Nordstage ,but i was never 100% happy with the organ sound.
I am now going to buy a Mojo..
I am wondering if excepting additionnal E piano sounds that seem to sound great, could I download an accoustic classic piano sound, witch I could expect for that price!??
Excuse my poor english cause i am French!
And keep on swinging for sure!
very nice demo
Tony, have you played the Viscount 'Legend' organ? ...and what do you think of it compared to'
Tks Tony, Mojo is a very realistic clone, but you are a great musician! Best regards!_FR
great sounds
Hello, I just purchased the Mojo yesterday...Nice! However, only a few banks(upper and lower) have been setup. On the Upper, only 2,3,and 4 have voices. On the Lower, only 1 has voice?? I have a monitor and mouse hooked up to it(running VB3 with Edition V2). However, I don't see in the interface where I can add the "extra" voices, like Rhodes, etc...Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
tommykeys
Is there a flightcased version?
Tony, do you record with the A-100 and gig out with the Mojo?
Nice save at 12:50.
this is a great video!
Absolutely eye giggling this or the GSI DMC with the Gemini.Problem with the Mojo is that it runs on Windows XP embedded. This may only be supported a few more years? What does everyone else think?
Just been checking this out, out of curiosity having run into it somewhere. And I only know that it runs some sort of embedded version of VB3. And reading your question, I have to ask this - doesn't all hardware have same issue, in a sense? If the company stops supporting the software, then there's no more support. I presume they can use the embedded Win XP until the end of time in the hardware they run. They probably require zero support from Windows for the version of XP. So the only support issue is if Crumar and/or the VB3 developers stop updating the software. But that's true of all hardware, as I say. My Prophet 12 is probably now set in stone. As is probably true of my Waldorf Blofeld. And for all I know even my Access Virus is now end of life in terms of software.
It really aint a problem. It's an embedded system and it only has to run the VB3 software. It doesn't have to comunicate with the outer world. it can't be hacked etc... It will run for as long as the hardware works, and you could propably change the inside motherboard with another if it should break at some point. its a standard x86 mb with a usb soundcard. At some point the Mojo will be discontinued like all other keyboards and you wont get any more updates of the VB3 Software. But that wont hurt the instrument as long as it doesn't break.
You actually have a better case with the Mojo the day it breaks and Crumar won't support it, as its software based, and just about every 1 in 4 persons on the internet will be able to find an old MB or usb soundboard and get it to work again, as long as you have a backup at home of the Mojo system software.
Its the same thing as a Korg Kronos. it has some shite MB with a slow poke Intel Atom processor, and you can (fairly) easy exchange the MB with a faster one, hack the linux based software a bit, install a little more memory, bigger HD and get more polyphonic of the instrument and more space for samples... just that then Korg prolly won't fix it if you barf it up :)
Personly I wouldn't be concerned to eg. try and install a better USB soundcard in the Mojo or play a little around with the embedded version of XP in it. I'll bet the system is placed on some kind of SD-Card, and you can most likely copy that in you home windows PC and play around with the copy on an experimental X86 Board if you are just somewhat skilled with PC's, wich will propably break the EULA that Crumar writes in the user manual (just don't tell Crumar) and as long as its only for home/personal use they prolly won't bother anyways.
It's close but the a-100 sounds better.....but not by a lot. For live gigs it's fine. In the studio...there's nothing like the real thing baby.
the A100 seems brighter
I hear the difference. I have an A100.... but here’s the thing. While I do hear the difference, I don’t think it’s significant enough to worry about if you’re gigging and you are not Jon Lord or Keith Emerson.
The actual tonewheel Hammond organ sound is definitely thicker. But for $2500, without having to rent a van in order to haul 700 pounds of wood/steel between the organ and the Leslie? It’s a no-brainer. It is, as the saying goes, close enough for Jazz. Were I still gigging I’d get one of these in a heartbeat.
Or Rick Wakeman
Wakeman for many years didn’t use a Hammond, preferring instead to utilize the organ patches on his synths. I’ve got multiple vids of him doing that.
He did, however, keep using his Minimoogs.
Hi Tony. What are you using to interface the mojo to the leslie? What model leslie is being used? Are both the mojo and the hammond using the same, or different leslies? I feel these are important factors, and should have been mentioned.
Patrick,
The cmparison part is to compare the tones through the same speaker source! The a100 has a rca input connection and thats where I inserted the mojo mono line out! The internal simmulator was turned off... So your hearing the tones as generated by both instruments... a fair comparison for the sounds! Hope this helps...
Hey is there a button for sustain of bass sound and is the left hand bass strong enough?
Hi Tony. Is the rotary footswitch a momentary pedal?
Yup
Muito bom Tony 😎👉👉
Plays the Blues at 13:25,......finally!
I CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE HAMMOND ORGAN IS NUMBER ONE ALWAYS WILL BE.
Do you also notice that difference between Caps Lock and normal spoken language?
Eccezionale.
The Mojo is a tad brighter than the Hammond.
formercakid I agree Mo Jo is brighter which could be adjusted easily with the bass and treble knob.
Really good ear 👍🏽
I hear no difference. Of course I’m listening through microscopic speakers on my iPad, so what does that mean.
Guys are being picky -as soon as I get the dough -I'm getting one--- have other clones =-the organ is great--can do a lot with it--------lots of adjustments and sounds-2o modeled organs --and can put in more-this thing is great -for 2500-Bucks --Go play one at a music store and find out ---
Are pedals available?
massmanute, I would think so, since it’s got the drawbars for controlling the bass register.
Better then bill bartlett
Slighlty more presents in the real leslie sound... but it's so minimal, only a psycho would concern themselves with the differences.
my site b3monaco.com ..
That's the point, why are you here?
regular!, not good sound for me
DO NOT waste your money on CRUMAR products. Quality control is terrible and the support you get from the company is non-existent.
I didn't hear Tony saying that... in 18' 28" never heard... is the same video we are seeing?
By far the best demo of a modern digital Hammond sound that I have heard so far - very well presented & really well played - thanks for that Tony :-)
Crazy.. does it have the same."feel" as a vintage Hammond with leslie..
I mean from the drummers seat... Nothing like an old Leslie to your side...
Mojo from Italy?
isn't that the country that also gave us the beloved Farfisa organs among many other great stuff?
btw, is Tony Monaco's right hand pinky finger broken or something?
Tony's voice is like butter
I offer a deal on my site that you get a free Lesson! ( b3monaco dot com click the mojo link)
THanks
Mojo sounds best to my ears. Wish it was available when I was young enough to care
Tony, I hear no difference! That thing is amazing!
Where can I order one? And can you recommend an amp for this organ
What drawbar setting did you use for the "Orchestral" sound? Thanks
It sounds like 88880088
The MOJO sounds great. Seems a little in the lower- mid (body section) of the organ tone still not quite there but goodness, clone wheels have come a long way. The only issue for me was the smaller version had the drawbars actually coming over the keys and with sloppy smears could create a problem but I have to say the Crumar rocks and great demoing. Always been a fan of your playing and demeanour. Sold! :)
great Demo Tony! Where I think all the clones are at their weakest is with all the drawbars fully out to 8 - like a typical Billy Preston sound. The clones all sound brittle to my ear - including the SK2 that I play. Keep up the good work!
This is what I think of every time I see caps lock:
ua-cam.com/video/IFbS_tk7CFY/v-deo.html
Honestly, though, you can't compare it to a B3 any more than you can compare butter to margarine, or pipes to a Rodgers. What you should compare it to is the other clones, and how well each one simulates the original.
I was hoping the clone would do it, but every time the Hammond sounded a bit tougher: a bit rougher on the attack AND release, and in between a bit dirtier or more distorted.
I'm using a high-end combo of Krell 400xi amp and B&W 805 Signature speakers, that may let me hear the vid better than I could on cheaper setups..
I actually want either a B3/A100 or a digital sim, and hoped the Mojo would be a candidate. I also write synth simulation software so really wanted the sim to win...
real a good copy Mr Monaco.. and i hope soon we can play in a Hammond session live. :-) im a Hammond B3 player from Norway, and i play With small Groups, alone and With a fantastic, one of the Best .skistorband.
mvh Fritz Hunstad
Good playing but dreadful sound (nothing to do with TM).
se nota la superioridad del Hammond original - aunque escuchando por el HDMI de mi tele se nota. Pero el Mojo está muy cerca. Y del Mojo Seven ni hablar - es un pedazo de máquina
How much is the Hammond? How much is the Mojo? The difference in price is how much? That matters to me. That's a very important consideration.
How did you guys manage to connect a monitor and a mouse to the Mojo just over one USB port? Can anyone tell me, please! Thanks to all the Mojo players! Georg
Of course the real baby always feels like home. But, there's also something to be said to for the portability, durability, and tremendous sound of this clone!
Hi. I don't see the multipin input conector for Leslie? on the Mojo. How did you connect it to Leslie?.... Thank you.
Dude... Your caps lock... It's still on...
The A-100 is slightly brighter and full. Great organ just the same. Will do more research.
Love my Hammond organs, even my X-66, but some of us are feeling left out in the modeling game with our Wurlitzer,Gulbransen,Conn, Rodgers, Thomas, etc. There are a few great organs you can sit down at and know they need modeled. The Wurlitzer 4600 ( see NSHOS Wurlitzer 4600) has so much great electromechanical tone. I play the spinet version- 4410 daily. It sounds very rich & full, and has so much ensemble. It shares these attributes with Hammond. Plus the Wurlitzer can get strings & reed too.
what's best
mono or hammock xkc 1
I once heard that the KeyB used an 'improved' version of the old Beatrix software (I think you can still find Beatrix's source code online).
But I'm not sure... That's what I remember. Maybe Elvio can verify that one day.
Tony is brillliant, and makes the mojo sound great, but the new hammond Sk1 is better.....cos I got one!
Great organ and great demo! Definitely gonna but it sooner or later ;)
I have a quastion for you Tony: do you think that a 13 note pedalboard is enough to play blues and jazz basslines?
As an admitted brand snob (its a bad habit, I know!), I'm really digging the Mojo! The sound is great (though through my computer everything sounds 'meh'), unlike the SK the controls look simple, and unlike the XK--the case looks high-quality!
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one!
How does it sound compared to the nord C2d and the Hammond XK-3C
Really good demo. Tuned in to see the mojo but got hooked on your cool playing! Love the blues licks, loads of groove and feeling. I thought they sounded easy until I tried to play them, I was wrong there!
To me, it's the best sounding organ I have ever heard...
Tony very,very good-Bravo saund is perfekts...
Wow! I love it! Great comparison. Great video! Might have to get me one of these.
yo man send me one tony!!!!
(Artis brown)
Just think, this guy USED to endorse the huge Hammond Suzuki corp.... That says a lot! I love VB3, but I wish Crummar would make a Mojo option that's more traditional in layout (i.e., the presests beside the corresponding manual, perc. And vibrato/chorus buttons beside the drawbars, and maybe the extra features on the left cheekblocks to give it the right length for playing with my 25 note pedalboard. Etc). If the buttons were in the sides the tip portion would be more apt for placing a monitor or a Muse Receptor module. I hope the future holds something close.
They did produce the Hammichord, but it was discontinued, don't know why. The Hammichord have the black preset keys and almost same layout as a B3. Not sure if the pc hardware was the same but it was also the VB3 engine. Question is if you can buy a 2'nd hand hammichord and update the firmware to same version as the latest Mojo version.
what tune are you playing at around 15:00? thanks so much
You are the Best ! Thank you , very inspiring !
How much are these going for?
Wow! What a demo! Thank you Tony!
The best demo. Great comparison!
Jimmy Smith ,LE PLUS GRAND DE TOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job thank s Tony
Fantastic,and well handled and demonstraited
Amazing playing - amazing instrument
what's best guys
hammond xkc1 or the mojo
Well, the Mojo is 2 manuals and the xkc1 is 1 manual.
You prolly better off comparing it with the Mojo61...
1. sound is an individual taste.
2.if the Mojo61 has the same modded Fatar keybed as the Mojo wich i suppose it has, then playing wise the Mojo61 wins
3.the Mojo61 also have extra Piano, E.Piano and Clav sounds, so + to mojo61
4.The xk1c has way more presets and custommer presets. the Mojo61 only has 2 !!!
It does save how each Piano, Epiano and Clav sounds is edited, but thats only 1 preset for each piano sound.
But its still not very practical if you are gonna use it with a second lower Midi controlled Keyboard and Midi Pedal where you don't have the physical drawbars for the organ sound on the Mojo61 or xk1c
So here the xk1c clearly wins as you can use presets to change the lower manual and bass section with 1 button
instead of having to press a key on the Mojo61 to change the drawbars to the lower manual and then make the changes manually.
The Mojo has a Drawbar section for both Upper, Lower and Pedals, and 8 Presets. Most organ players will propably work with the manual Drawbars anyway and should be compared with the Hammond SK-2
If you ask me, the Mojo's VB3 engine clearly wins vs any Hammond and other brands clonewheels, even the really expensive Hammond New B3MkII or the newest XK-5 system, but thats only based on a lot of youtube videos, since I have never heard a New B3 or XK-5 played live. But vs Hammond SK-1/SK-2/XK-1c/XK-3/XK-3c/Nord, many people think the Mojo sounds a bit more like a real B3
The real deal breaker is the keybeds. Afaik Hammond uses standard Fatar beds on the xk-1c (same as do Nord on the Electro line) and the springs on those keybeds are really annoying to play when they are new. They actually feels heavyer to press down than a weighted Piano Keybed !!
i have tried out both Hammond XK-1c and Nord Electro 4/5. And they do feel both very hard/springy to play and kindy feels a bit like cheap plastic keys that could break very easy if you play them a bit rough.
If you'd like to compare the sound yourself, you can download the free version of VB3 v1.4 and check it out
Its basically the same engine as the Mojo, only that the Mojo runs a special version of VB3 v2.xx wich isn't available for download afaik.
the VB3 1.4 should run on any PC (and Mac i think) it will require a VST host.
best demo ever!!!
Second best IMO. Charlie over at ACE keyboards in Panama City gave the best demo back on June 3, 2012.
What I see ? YES MOJO is good but if I remember TONY MONACO is a lover of HAMMOND, real legendary HAMMOND organ.
As a reasonably experienced player I am going to buy a clone very soon, and have been looking at the various (usually more expensive) options and TBH have avoided the Mojo because Crumar was terribly unreliable in the past (although I believe this is not technically related to Crumar of old). I use the VB3ii plugin on my recording setup (same sound generation engine as the Mojo), and I have to say it is totally superb! It really captures the dirty dynamic growl FAR better than any other I have tried.
The thing with a real Hammond is; it is imperfect, it is dirty, distorted, organic and very dynamic, and all those imperfection are what make a real Hammond sound soooo good (and is the thing that most of the clones don't get right)! I have to say the VB3ii and the Mojo are very very bloody close (perhaps not so much with the presets though).
I do wish they had persevered with the Hammichord layout as an option - that would be perfect!!
OOooooooFF !
horrible
Just saying that arbitrarily, Willem van Ingen?
hey tony
would you know whats the resale value on the Mojo XT ?...Like would you consider this organ a great investment?
It really sounds like a Hammond
