Subject:Re: Mojo update v.2.21 questions!


Craig,
first of all, I want to thank your great help!
I also want to apologize for waste your time. Thank you for your great explanation!

You are right, I skipped directly from 2.1 to 2.21. I waited for other release, because some members have posted in the forum their displeasure of the leslie that came in the v 2.2. So, at that time I didn't pay attention to the features of the new software!
You know, is very dificult, mainly to me, read all the posts of my four forums!

Ok Craig, I'll hear your advices.
Thank you again and...
best,
Manuel

As James pointed out in another response the "bass control" is a physical rotary knob on the Mojo itself, NOT a new parameter in the editor.

The manual may not yet be completed but most of the parameters in the new editor were fully explained in a document contained in the 2.2 release, including the new "matching transformer". Release 2.2 was where the new version of the Windows editor was released, and included with that was an adobe file called Mojo_update_feb_2014 which contained both the instructions on how to update your Mojo, AND an explanation of most of the new parameters in the editor (2.2 version was where the new editable parameters were introduced). Perhaps you skipped directly from 2.1 to 2.21 and missed this step, thus missing the documentation, so I will include them below. I hope this answers your questions..

Here is the text from the 2.2 update that pertains to the new parameters:
VB3CE2 v.2.2:
Well, it's hard to list all the changes, they're so many that we totally lost the count during the
development. The first thing you'll notice is that the rotary algorithm is different, also the digital
reverb is different. And if you connect a monitor and a mouse to your Mojo / Hamichord, you'll
notice a whole new interface with lots of new parameters. Many things have been improved:
- attack and release keyclick are more realistic than ever, and we think that no other digital
clone currently on the market offers this level of realism without using a multi-contact
keyboard;
- now the Chorus / Vibrato depth parameter acts in real-time giving you instant results, you
can range from an old 50's console from a more "modern" 70's console type scanner vibrato
by adjusting the depth and mix parameters;
- there's a new parameter for the crosstalk named "brilliance" that lets you adjust the amount
of high frequency crosstalk indipendently, while still keeping the overall crosstalk level pot;
- the percussion section now offers separate level settings for SOFT and NORMAL and
separate decay settings for FAST and SLOW, while still keeping the overall percussion LEVEL
and the drop-out level;
- the keyclick section now offers a "color" setting that lets you adjust the brightness (or
darkness) of the keyclick sound in order to better balance it with the timbral characteristics
of the generator and of the rotary simulator;
- the rotary speaker simulator now offers separate settings for slow and fast speeds and ramp
up and down times for both the horn and the bass rotor;
- the distance, angle and cabinet parameters now act differently, you can vary from very far to
very close miking, from 180 degree miking to 0 degree (single microphone on the horn), and
the cabinet simulation is even more realistinc, trying to reproduce every single resonance
that occours in the real 147 or 122 vintage cabinet (which are basically identical);
- there's a whole new section that lets you adjust the so-called "matching transformers",
basically trim sliders that adjust the overall level of each single drawbar thus affecting the
way the 9 harmonics get mixed by the drawbars. This way the simulated organ may vary
from bright to dull timbres, with every possible nuances in between. No other digital
simulation on the market gives you this level of customization;
- the generator list adds two new generators, courtesy of american organist Mitch Towne;
- there's now a pot for adjusting the level of the "bonus electric piano sounds" ;
- you can now connect an external keyboard to the MIDI INPUT of your Mojo or Hamichord,
have it send notes on channel 6 and play the electric piano sounds along with the
tonewheel organ. Use program changes from 0 to 15 to switch between 8 effects for the
"Tines" piano and other 8 variants of the "Reed" piano;
- new global functions let you restore the previous settings or recall the factory settings;
- double click on each single pot or slider on the interface to make it return to the default
position;

By the way, if you want more opinions regarding tweaks for the Mojo, you might be better off posting this on the Mojomusicians forum, there are 200+ Mojo users over there.
