Back in the seventies, Crumar wrote the history of the tonewheel organ sound with instruments such as Organizer T1 and T2 which were modern and lightweight recreations of the original American electromagnetic organ. Now Crumar celebrates the return of this original and never forgotten spirit with the new MOJO.
Mojo is a double manual electromagnetic organ clone with two complete sets of real drawbars in only 17 Kg (37 lb), designed to meet the requirements of modern musicians without compromises. Starting with the ultra-fast keyboard response, the positioning of buttons and controls, the two complete sets of 9 drawbars and the 2 drawbars for pedalboard in the middle, and the real wood finish of the forniture, make Mojo a real organ! The interface of the instrument is designed to offer important features to musicians: easy management of presets and drawbar sets for both upper and lower manual, rotary speaker simulation control, percussion and vibrato buttons, pedal to lower function, tone, drive, reverberation and click amount.
With 'shift' button, you can adjust every parameters of the sound in order to meet your requirements: choose between 20 different organ models, transpose by +/-12 semitones, change percussion volume, leakeage and crosstalk level. USB connection along with MIDI IN and OUT sockets ensure connection with other instruments or computers. Crumar Mojo is powered by the great VB3 version II, the ultimate and most realistic tonewheel physical modeling generation. VB3 version II generates digitally electromagnetic sound in the same way the original organ does mechanically and electrically: how the 91 tonewheels work and interact one each other with the contribution of leakeage and crosstalk, how rotary speaker and drive affect the sound. The foldback is reproduced with the same characteristics as the original; also, the vibrato scanner that provides vibrato and chorus with its mechanical and electrical components are carefully modeled to be as close as possible to the real thing. VB3 II's rotary speaker simulation offers the same acoustic details as mechanical spinning horn and drum and, thanks to the interface of VB3 II, you can interact with all parameters of the simulation like cabinet dimensions, accelerations, mic positioning and others: control the simulation with the two pushbuttons for slow-fast-stop speeds and take advantage of our new 'V.S. Technology' that recreate the details of rotary speakers not only in classic 'stereo way' (horizontal simulation) but also in vertical position.
In this way the two main L&R outputs of the Mojo turn into Treble and Bass simulated outputs with internal 800 Hz crossover cut-off. Just connect two speakers, stack them one on top of the other and feel the most impressive emulation available. You can also use external genuine rotary cabinets by just disabling the internal simulation from its dedicated button.
With the 'tonewheel generator set' function, you have the possibility to choose between 20 different types of tone generator: measurements of real generators each with different characters and sound. From pick-up regolation. Aging, crosstalk. Very important details for create the sound. Changing from one generator to another will affect every parameter of the sound chain: from response of leakeage to drive.

It's like the original! Two different types of drive/saturation: one for simulation of 'hot tubes' and one for a real 'overdrive' sound, very useful if you play hard-rock music. You can hear the difference between key click on attack and on release: it is not sampled but generated in real-time with proportional consistency and lenght and it's present in pedalboard tones too. Like the original, percussion has got a slower recharge time in comparation with decay: you can easily hear this feature when pause between two note is not so long to permit all recharge time of percussion capacitor: this is called 'touch percussion' and it is reproduced in details. Tapering of percussion follows related drawbar, crosstalk is present in percussion too. On Mojo, vibrato is not a frequency modulator, but a genuine phase modulator: it is more present in the central part of sound spectrum and almost absent in the last 3 or 4 tonewheels.

Reverberation is a faithfull simulation of spring reverber Accutronics Type4. Swell pedal of Mojo is not a volume pedal, it acts like the original as a notch filter. Mojo has full poliphony: 61 + 61 keys for the manuals and 25 for pedalboard! There isn't the 'note stealing' effect because the sound is instantly generated exactly in the same way like the original circuitry.
