Six-string-man

I went to Andertons yesterday, to check out the DSI Sequential 6, vs OB 6 vs Prophet Rev 2. Only my second visit, as it is a 550 mile round trip for me, but I had to be in the general area for other business. Dismissed the OB6 fairly quickly, great sound, but the SAME sound, on every patch. I think that would become very old for me, and fairly fast. Came away with the REV 2. I KNOW it was the right decision, it has 61 keys, as against 49 on the Seq 6, it can do splits and layers, which the Seq 6 can't, and it is £640 cheaper, which is not inconsiderable. Why then, on my return home, am I still hearing the sounds of the Seq 6 in my head?

YOU DO?????!!!!! Please could you send details, and pics if possible? I have a (large) iPad pro, and a couple of mic stands. I have been looking for a way to attach one to the other for about a month. I have found nothing in the UK that isn't very plasticky, or stupidly expensive, or both. Many thanks.

When people complain about boards, a lot of them ask for a shorter width. Hence all the posts saying "why don't they make a 7x version........" Placing the pitch and mod wheels above the keys is an obvious way of making any board shorter.

Gear4Music IS a brick-and-mortar store, as well as an online entity. They have a very large store with attached warehouse just off the York ring road. OK, it's not Sweetwater sized, but still.......

Oh-oh.

Did you think about going with iOS? A few good church organs on there. If you already own an iPad, an app and a decent controller will be well under your budget.

Just to give you a comparison with the YouTube videos, there was a sales rep demo-ing one in a shop I was in, I stood and listened for 10 minutes, the ap was VERY impressive. Didn't hear any other sounds, as my better half needed a coffee!

Exactly. $1K - $2K auction estimate is entirely reasonable. You think so? I would have thought they would have been worth that much if they had have been owned by Joe Blow. Mind you, I suppose that once people start bidding.....

I fully support paying for music. On the other side of the coin, iTunes managed to lose every track and playlist I had bought or ripped from cd's (which I also paid for), nearly 8,000 songs altogether. I was going to work out how much this has cost me, but I would only end up in tears.

I knew you'd answer if I waited long enough Mitch!

Maybe so, but it's still over 1000 euros cheaper than the equivalent Hammond XK5 package.

Jon Lord, Ken Hensley and Ray Manzarek.

I imagined that Mitch Towne might have chimed in with his view of the update by now. Waiting (im)patiently for his thoughts.

I stand corrected. Many thanks Guido.

On the original Mojo, the recommendation for the expression pedal was their own branded Crumar long throw, with a potentiometer rating of 10K. The FC7 has a pot rating of 50 K. Assuming that the Mojo 61 and the DMC are the same as the original, it makes sense to me to use the pedal that the manufacturer says that you should use. Just a thought.

I'm desperately hoping for a 73 key single manual Mojo, with two sets of drawbars, bi-timbrality, an effects loop, and 11 pin Leslie out. I would be all over that.

I apologise. I did not know that! SSM

I thought that was what I said lol SSM

AFAIK - and I stand to be corrected here - with the original Mojo, you get B3, Farfisa, Vox, Rhodes and Wurli type voices. The 61 model adds acoustic piano, DX ep, clav and pipe organ. SSM

Told you....... SSM

I would buy this in an instant if it had two sets of drawbars, an 11 pin Leslie socket and an effects loop. And I don't think that I'm the only one, there are a LOT of posts saying " The only thing stopping me getting a Mojo 61 is that you can't play two sounds on it....." SSM

It's amazing how often non-engineers say something like that. ;-) You don't know that I'm not an engineer! Actually, you're right, I'm not. I knew, because no engineer would say that. ;-) Oh. OK. It seemed fairly simple to a lay person. As a non-engineer, my new thought is that they should have used a bit of foresight, and built the 61 with two dsp's, and a second set of drawbars. And an 11 pin Leslie socket, and an effects loop. Here's a bit for you (with your engineer's hat on) to take exception to: I'm sure that wouldn't have cost much extra if they had done it at the design stage. BTW, that's something else we non-engineers say! SSM

Thanks Moe, that makes a lot of sense. I will stop hoping for bi-timbrality for this keyboard, and look at alternatives. SSM

It's amazing how often non-engineers say something like that. ;-) You don't know that I'm not an engineer! Actually, you're right, I'm not. Now that the dsp situation has been explained, I get it. Shame though.

Couldn't make my mind up between the Lounsberry Organ Grinder and the Tall & Fat. Eventually ordered the T&F. A week later, ordered the OG too! Unfortunately, the delivery system seems between the US and the UK appears to be one old guy on a bicycle. Over two weeks, and no sign of anything arriving yet. I USED to think that I was a fairly patient sort of person. Evidently, I'm not. SSM
