Viscount Legend vs Crumar Mojo ('suitacse')
bill bosco replied to Niall01's topic in The Keyboard Corner
i never had any issues with drawbar latency on any clone i've owned . i did have issues with the early Crumar Mojo crashing on me on stage . couldn't use it as a result . apparently the early ones had some problems , i would avoid a used one as Crumar support won't be able to help you out -
i heard of them but never actually heard them before seeing them on Ed Sullivan that night . to my 12 year old ears , compared to what i was used to hearing , their sound was bright , with some kind of new energy . seems like the whole world exploded with new music that year . i had a little second hand transister radio and it was like every week new stuff was coming out . overnight , everyone i knew was playing guitar or drums . kept us out of trouble , or visa versa i guess . was an exciting time .

the UHL is very lite weight for it's size , structurally very stiff but it's basically all made from off the shelf parts from Keyboard Partner . sparton but well laid out . the MAG , on the other hand , is in a whole other world . the vintage analog vibe and build quality are the best out there .

i think there was more to it than that . the diode might have been for the actual brake function ( not stop ), as the rotors were not allowed to coast to a stop

that's how i did it , always had some kind of brake rigged up to the leslie . nowadays , we use the EIS relays from trek ii for a brake with a three way switch . always loved the sound of the organ on stop .

it was a lot , but i don't remember $ 650 being an extraordinary figure . i bought a used L 100 in '72 for $650 . am i that off with this ? -
the HX3 sim would be set up the same way , you could output the internal sim in mono or stereo and the 11 pin rotary hook up at the same time , the speed control is synced . the Viscount organs do this the same way .

What are the most iconic "looking" (not sounding) keyboards?
bill bosco replied to RABid's topic in The Keyboard Corner
had one these , played it through 147 for a couple of years . bought myself my first Hammond in '72 , never touched the Compact again , no fond memories -
i have a motion sound MS 610 and a MAGGIE , to my ears ,the MAGGIE has a more accurate sound for my hx3.6 based organ . i have the 122 mode switched off on the amp though , so i can run the vent through it . otherwise it's way to much midrange color going on .

i have both the HX3.5 and 3.6 . they are very close sound wise , i think the 3.6 is a little richer or refined , it also has a better reverb and much better pedal base . there's also way more tweakablity , if that's what you're into . the newer board , i believe , has more memory capacity and can store some additional organ models , which have recently become available . one of the things that stands out with the HX3 sound engine is its' FPGA chip , its got a very analog " feel " to it . the way the notes come off your fingers . nothing digital about it . i don't own a MAG , but i've played one , a P2 . hands down the most well made clone out there . was blown away by the build quality

i still have mine , bought it in '85 or 6 . broke it out last year , it still worked , original battery . i remember being told the batteries were only supposed to be good for 10 years or so but they've seen some go past 15 or more . amazingly , my MODX has all my favorite DX7 EPs , including a Rhodes EP which back in the '80s was a custom sound i was able to get a hold of for my DX , it's showed up since in the DX card for the Motifs and as a stock patch in both the MOXF and the MODX .

Organ Trios (or maybe quartets) that you enjoy following?
bill bosco replied to Tusker's topic in The Keyboard Corner

the combination makes a lot of sense when the organist is blowing lead with his right hand while his left hand is playing the bass . a guitar keeps up the chords of the tune . and besides , they just compliment each other so well .
