Leslie Speaker: real vs. fake

Ok, this is my Crumar Mojo, I first played it connected to my Leslie 145 mic'ed up with two AT4040 on the top horn and one RODE NT2a on the lower drum, then I've played the same things with its internal simulation.

Hope you enjoy!

I don't know why but when uploaded to youtube, this video sounds kind of harsh... the trebles are distorted and all the original transients have gone. Damn lossy compression!

The SK1 organ doesn't compare to the MOJO, and the Extra Voices on the SK1 are mediocre at best. Neither the SK1's leslie sim OR the overdrive is as good as the MOJO, so if you want the best sounding organ sounding organ (and most real organ players won't compromise on their organ sound), you'll choose a MOJO. If you need the Extra Voices, any cheap midi module will give you voices equal to, or better than, the extra voices available on the SK1. No need for a real leslie with the MOJO.

The only thing I do not like about drawbar keyboards, is that they are limited to being a B-3 clone and they coast so much money. Possibly what makes them expensive, along with the MIDI sound modules is the copyright they must pay to Hammond Suzuki. I want more than a just drawbar keyboard or MIDI sound module. That is why I would prefer a Hammond SK-1 or the Wersi Pegasus Wing keyboard. Leslie speakers are great, but expensive!
