MOJODemonstration 

left hand is incredible

inspiring

teucimex oh and cheaper than the nords but who isn't ;)

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.

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.

what's best mono or hammock xkc 1

Second best IMO. Charlie over at ACE keyboards in Panama City gave the best demo back on June 3, 2012.

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 sounds like 88880088

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...

Do you also notice that difference between Caps Lock and normal spoken language?

Yup

formercakid I agree Mo Jo is brighter which could be adjusted easily with the bass and treble knob. Really good ear 👍🏽

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.

massmanute, I would think so, since it’s got the drawbars for controlling the bass register.

I didn't hear Tony saying that... in 18' 28" never heard... is the same video we are seeing?

Just saying that arbitrarily, Willem van Ingen?
