mate stubb Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 My guess is that there will be a next generation dual Mojo with DSP. Makes too much sense not to. In the meantime, my obsolete Windows CE Mojo dual kicks ass and runs rings around most other clones. And no, they don't have off the shelf sound cards in them.

Gary75 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 That's ridiculous they are still using Windows embedded. Still using off the shelf PC sound cards inside as well? My freshly renovated SY77 still runs the same operating system and DACs it used in 1990. Sounds great, works like a Yamaha. Why change something that works great and reliably? Hackers? It's a hardware keyboard with dedicated internal boards not using a third party front end to host the sound generating part. I'm not interested in what 'runs rings' around other sounds, it was purely an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wd8dky Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 FPGAs are so '90's, when I started designing them. Let's go neural processing, so the clone can adjust its sound in real-time to whatever dream sound the player has in their head at any given moment. http://www.weisersound.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Montis Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 So yes, I do find it ridiculous they are still using the same system from ten years ago. The original Mojo is about 7-8 years old and still is on par with the best out there. And for your information, I have been on the road with it a LOT and it still works and sound fine. You may think it's ridiculous, but some people are still very happy with it. I am one of them. If you want a newer system there's the Mojo 61 and of course eventually there will be a new Mojo. Calling something ridiculous just based on some biased opinion of an operating system seems kind of unfair to me, while in the end it still sounds better than most and has received free updates for many years. www.frankmontis.com | www.youtube.com/user/frankmontis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losendoskeys Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The ATM has been around since 1967, you don't think they are still running the same operating system do you? I might as well have said I drive a car and a response of "I guess you don't use your legs" Who wants to have a failure mid gig and wait for it to boot up when the competition has already improved hugely in that respect. So yes, I do find it ridiculous they are still using the same system from ten years ago. You're not making sense. Failure at a gig is unlikely to be due to the operating system, it's likely to be hardware -the old gear I still use has been totally reliable over the last 12 years of gigging.

WesG Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Wait until Gary finds out I use a ten-year-old operating system to process millions of transactions a day, guaranteeing 99.999% up time (that's 43 minutes of maintenance window per year). Those old operating systems, I tell ya, always worrying if they are going to come down with Alzheimer's or something.

Another happy dual manual Mojo owner here with no intention of getting anything else. When I find a good instrument I like to keep it for a long time, spare myself from the distraction of gear churn, and focus my efforts on becoming a better musician.
