  1. The word "sample" is out of context here, there are no samples, the whole organ sound is modeled, it means that it's reconstructed by digitally modeling every single element of the real Hammond organ. Now, in a real Hammond organ, if you adjust the balancing of the whole tonewheel generator (or replace the capacitors) not only the drawbar sound changes, but the percussion sound changes as well, as a consequence of being part of the sound produced by the same generator. For example, when you play the middle C note on the upper manual and the percussion is set on THIRD, what you hear is a copy of the same tone produced by the same note with the 5th drawbar pulled out. It comes from the same generator, but takes a secondary route, skips the V/C circuitry and passes through a VCA whose amplitude level is regulated by an envelope generator (that produces the percussion decay). This exact scheme is replicated in the Mojo.
  2. Yes, I said this would be addressed in a future update, but then I realized that there is nothing to address, because the sustain pedal input (and this also answers to your question) has been added because the sound generator itself supports sustain. From the global options (accessible through the editor) you can choose how to use the sustain pedal, for switching between rotary speeds (slow/fast) or for sustaining notes, and in this case you can choose between upper only, lower only or both. The only Midi functionality is that it always generates the CC #64 message sent on the Basic Channel, i.e. the one you set in the editor and that corresponds to the upper manual in normal playing mode. This is how this instrument was conceived and it's how it works. I'm sorry if my previous answer was misleading.
  3. [font:Arial Black]WRONG[/font]! 1) Guido IS NOT CRUMAR. Guido is GSi. GSi makes software for GSi, for Crumar and for other entities, even non-music software. GSi is a one man operation with occasional collaborators. 2) CRUMAR is not a one man operation. There are owners, workers, consultants and collaborators, it's a small-medium sized company exactly like at least other 100 in the same field, including some of those you've mentioned. 3) Please stop calling my name for everything related to Crumar. I AM NOT CRUMAR!!! 4) It's false that Italy is closed for one or two monts during summer "even during a pandemic"! Please stop this bull****!!! Workers who have right to a vacation do their 7 or 14 days like every other workers in the world, but nothing is closed here!
  4. Before I read your post, I already had this bugfix noted in my To-do-list for the Classic, and you can be sure that this will be addressed with the next firmware update (still unplanned, though).
  5. Yes, Italy is a wonderland, we're all riding unicorns and eating cotton candy rainbows...
  6. You can assign MIDI CC numbers only if you intend to control the Mojo61 from an external unit. So, now that you've assigned some CC's, you should connect something to the MIDI inputs or to the USB-MIDI port (I like to use an old Korg nanoKontrol) and use that to control the parameters you've assigned. And no, the Mojo61 can't load extra sample libraries like the Gemini.
  7. However, keeping the feet on the ground, in a real situation I think that the level of protection should be proportional to the importance of the thing to protect. If you're the president of the USA and know the passwords to launch nuclear missiles, or if you're some very rich person with billions of dollars on offshore bank accounts, probably you need something like (AES(Twofish(Serpent)) encrypted)... but for common mortals a 6~8 characters password encrypted with Blowfish is more than enough.
  8. How can you be sure? You just trust the system. I too store almost all my passwords into Chrome, at least the low-risk ones, not those of the bank accounts or important things. Anyway, I wanted something that doesn't send the passwords anywhere, so I made my own app, and I'm sure that the passwords stay into the phone.
  9. Managing passwords has always been my bigger struggle since the day I created my first email account back in 1997. And the funny thing is that the very first App I have made for a mobile device is a virtual keychain. I released it only recently and only for the Android devices, it's called GSi SafeBox and it's free and ad-free, even though the first release is only in italian. I have just posted a new version in english that's currently in beta test. If you have an Android device and you wish to test it, here's the link to get into the beta program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.genuinesoundware.gsisafebox. I know there were already many similar apps for holding passwords in the mobile device, but most of them are cloud-based, that means that all your sensible informations are instantanously sent over the internet to someone else's computer (that's what a cloud is). And most free apps show annoying ads. I wanted to make my own implementation, something simple that keeps the data into the device's memory with no need to send the data elsewhere. Everything is stored into an encrypted XML file that can optionally be exported / imported to / from local memory or shared with other apps (e.g. sent via email for backup purpose). If you give it a try, let me know what you think.
  10. My latest music-related purchase... I haven't bought a new keyboard for quite a long while, this time I swapped one of my two vintage MiniMoogs for this One. http://www.soundfonts.it/gear/images/moogone8.jpg
  11. Check this: in the editor's home page there's a global setting "TX Velocity", set it to Panel to work as described in the manual. If you've set that to Always, velocity is always sent regardless the instrument selected; if it's set to Never, velocity is never sent and the high trigger point is always used.
  12. Thanks for asking. We're all fine... maybe only a bit depressed, you know...
  13. It's not what the user's manual says (page 31). And you also missed the GSi DMC-122 from your list, which is probably the only dual manual organ controller around.
  14. Crickets... I don't know if this is normal for you, but you sent me your email 16 hours ago, it was sunday night at 9:45 P.M. local time! Gimme the time to get back to work!
