mate stubb Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I know people hear things differently but I listened to the acoustic piano audio demos on the Crumar site and thought they sounded great. I'm leaning in your direction. For my application (electric band), the fullest and most gorged gorgeosity of 13 foot long grand piano is rarely appropriate. Rather colorful uprights that cut work better. I hear a little midrange peak I would like to cut with EQ in the Seven samples, but I think it would happily fulfill the role that I used to use the MKS-20 Piano 3 for. And remember how far the Mojo organs have come since the VST days. This piano will only get better and better. Guido is one of the most talented programmers I know.

Adan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I ordered a Seven. I'd been getting ready to buy a dedicated clone, either a Mojo or a Legend, then along comes the Seven and it really looks like a good base for my funk band rig. My Vox Continental isn't the best as a Hammond Clone, but it's more than adequate. I'm past the point where I want to carry a weighted keyboard between home and rehearsal, so the Korg Grandstage will probably be my rehearsal room board while the Seven does home and gig duty. Or maybe it will be the other way around. Will be interesting to compare them. I know the Seven will sound good, and I know I can get along fine with the TP100 action because I've done it before. What I really dig is the form factor -- flat top and attaching legs. A rare case of retro=functional.

I think you gave the VR the edge as a clonewheel; and as much as you like the VC's EPs, you'd be using the Seven for that (and AP). Is it mostly the look and/or operational ergonomics? Or are there certain important sounds for you that you feel the VC does better than the Roland? If so, which? Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

ElmerJFudd Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It does look like fun - its wrong for 95% of my gigs but I know there are others where this is right up their alley paired with the Mojo and/or a synth. Id like to have it at home and forget about acquiring all the instruments that inspired it (I also liked the concept of the Zarenbourg for similar reasons but its way too expensive). A lot less time and space consuming and obviously more economical. The action would be consistent rather than hit or miss. Although there is a digital tendency to turn over instruments for something newer as tech advances. Will the hardware platform they chose be enough to run new and improved models? The acoustic piano model I realize is included at this time as ancillary - but as Guido spends brain cycles on it (assuming there is a soft spot in his heart for the sound of a fine acoustic piano) it could be improved. Plus the 9th engine is sample playback - so anything theyd like to include is possible. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6774 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Crumar is an Italian company , so my thinking on this is they have created something that gives a vibe of playing an electric piano on stage or home . Remember, most of us live in areas where rhodes or wurlies are pretty easy to come by , in many areas of the world, these instruments are not easilly accessible , as well as techs to work on them. If you notice, a lot of effort has gone into creating clonewheels, its not co-incidence that most of these companys are european based , its not easy to go buy a B3 like it is here in the States . Im thinking this theory also applies to the Seven. This instrument may appeal to some, but may not appeal to all , but having options to suit what you want is good , I applaud Crumar for this concept . Sometimes, it not just about the sound , but the overall vibe of playing an instrument. hi IMHO you got the point, that's it . In Europe, Rhodes, wurlitzer, clavinet are rare, expensive, and don't speak about the specialized tech. ... as for example, in France a Rhodes in good shape are sold between 1900 & 2500 , wurli. 200A about the same.... when you know that there is only a handfull of specialiszed techs in the whole country, i let you guess their cost of work when you need some maintenance. Seven being announced at 1899 , it's cheaper than a Rhodes in decent shape , and to me, Crumar Seven will sell decently in europe , it's price being decent. ( Not like my Zarenbourg which costed me around 3000 :-) ) Quote Zarenbourg, gemini desktop , Zoom R24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are there certain important sounds for you that you feel the VC does better than the Roland? If so, which? I got the Roland specifically to be a rehearsal board. The Roland keybed is an obstacle to playing at a performance level even for organ. I'd use it in a pinch, but would much rather be on the VOx. I can put the VR on the back of my motorcycle going to rehearsal. If it falls off, I'd be bummed but not nearly as much as the Vox.

But if 61 keys is all you need, the VC is a whole lot smaller and lighter. Plus you already have it. ;-) I have to say, the retro vibe of the VC over the Seven should look pretty cool.

mauriziodececco Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well, i really don't know, but my OB-6 continue to insist that he would be happy to rest on top of a Seven. While i really appreciate the Seven form factor, it just do not fit my main use case, that is going to a gig/rehersal using the parisian metro, with my piano on my shoulder; that why a couple of years ago i choose a NE5HP, that perfectly fit the need (that are very specific, no car, no driving license, and a yearly metro subscription). But still, my OB-6 really want a new friend :->. Maurizio PS: another point of view: it is great to see a product like the Seven coming out from a region with such a long tradition in musical instruments ! (my region, by the way).

drawback Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I had wondered about that also (back on page 2) and there are a couple of front facing photos available on FB but nothing showing the overhang.

ZioGuido Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 ZioGuido: Whats the depth of the top flat surface, will a Mojo61 rest securely on top without further support? Tempted..... The flat zone is 19,5 cm deep (7,7"). The Mojo 61 has the rubber feet very close to the edges, so I can put it on top of the Seven by leaving the edges outside, in a way that it sticks out just enough not to overlap the Seven's panel. It is safe, but you'd have to use some soft material (possibly a rubber pad) between the two instruments otherwise there will not be enough friction to keep the Mojo61 stable and also the screws underneath the Mojo61 will scratch the beautiful Seven hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of my non-mechanical boards, I take those long strips of thin foam padding that has a peel-off adhesive on one side, and then stick them to the bottom of the board. That keeps it from sliding and scratching, whether on a stand or another board. Sounds like that would do the trick here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
