  1. Great thread! Lots of wonderful new finds - thank you all! Long live the organ trio! Adding to the list - 3 recent recordings...
  2. I have one too. Great Leslie SIM, percussion, authentic tonewheel sound. Downbeat: " He began playing organ when he was 4 years old and had memorized Jimmy Smith’s “The Sermon” in six months when he was 5..." Here's Joey's version at 39:
  3. Yep. Another example on the changes to Secret Love.
  4. Divisimate can exponentially enhance the value of your string or brass libraries. The effort to create your own setups is well worth it.
  5. Now a "B3 de voyage" - that would be something!
  6. Thanks for the reminder about Inception. A favorite! Here's Pat Bianchi's organ trio version of Inception: And another minor blues, Little Shannon, by Don Patterson, Joey D's version:
  7. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Jeremy was a great composer and arranger.
  8. Just could see it now. Learned a lot. Andromeda & Cloudlifter - I had no idea! Thank You!
  9. Looks like the original link was deleted. Here it is again WW on piano & organ:
  10. I wonder - tubes, price, size, weight?
  11. Wow that's a very shocking (Ok, disappointing) response on several levels. A decade ago when the Mojo came out, Guido was active on this forum, but not current-ly. Not to make excuses for Crumar, but I wonder if something was lost in the translation or if it was an incorrect response from a staff member (i.e., not Guido). They need to turn up the juice (or perhaps turn down (isolate) the juice) or risk turning off potential customers.
  12. I'm con-Fuse-d. A lot of Mojos suitcases have been sold. So it's probably not so common. I'll bet that if you agreed to get another unit it would have been Ok. I have an XK-5 that early on, a few months in, started to put out a a constant noise via the R & L outputs. The headphone outputs were fine. I purchased it from Sweetwater and they sent a new unit as it was taking time to get the circuit board needed to fix it. The new XK-5 has had no problems going on 3 years. With the new SKX pro coming out, I can see why you would want one. It's good to keep in mind that all of these new cutting edge digital organs have some lemons in the mix including viscount Live/Legend. But the vast majority of units don't. The best thing is buying from a dealer that will support you. I had an Epiphone Masterbuilt guitar that had a bridge warp (past the warranty) and Sweetwater took a look at it and sent a new one that has been fine now 7 years later. Hope that our SKX pros (I'm getting one because the XK-5 is hard for me to transport alone) can absorb a charge. 😉
  13. Thanks for the explanation. I am beginning to understand it better. I think as long as key click is incorporated authentically, then the rest doesn't matter in real life playing. Pedal tapping on the XK-5 initially bothered me because even with a very light touch I kept hearing the note. Then I noticed that the presets - Jimmy Smith and others like McGriff, Shirley, and Burner - for some reason, I don't know why, are all set with a pedal envelope of R 8. When you dial that down to R 1 or CON then it's much easier to get a thump without the tone when pedaling lightly. On the keys CON means multiCONtact mode; on the pedals, which are not multicontact, I don't know what it means. 🤔 I'm curious how light pedal tapping feels on the Mojo or Legend to get the thump without the sound of the note.
  14. I’m not sure how it’s done but your description is insightful and likely how it's done. Crumar VB3-II software says under main features: “Busbars and 9 key contact simulation” Viscount: Sorry! I was mistaken. I can’t find any reference to multicontact simulation. I was thinking about something I read it somewhere long ago about of the original keyB organs but Viscount doesn't mention it and Joey D says "Nah". On second thought think Viscount must have some sort of multicontact simulation as that's what generates the key click. There's probably more going on then they state in the specs.
