The CRUMAR Mojo is a modern computer-based musical instrument. The source of the
sound of the instrument is the VB3 CE 2 software. This software runs on an internal
computer processor using the Windows XP Embedded (XPE) operating system. Windows
XP Embedded is a special version of Windows XP created for running specific
applications. In the case of the CRUMAR Mojo, its processing is dedicated to running the
VB3 CE 2 software to make music which results in absolute processing stability and
integration of components based on actual software demands, as well as an extremely fast
start-up time.
The CRUMAR Mojo’s internal system is equipped with traditional connections for a monitor
and a mouse. Connecting a monitor enables users to access the Graphical User Interface
(GUI) of the VB3 CE 2 software to make edits to every available aspect of the VB3 CE 2
software.
EWF
One of the most important features of XP Embedded is the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF).
EWF provides the ability to protect the image of XPE from being accidentally or voluntarily
over-written. This feature allows XPE to be booted from a CD-ROM. The CRUMAR Mojo
does not have a hard drive. The XPE system is installed in flash memory, which acts as
“read-only” media. No data is written to the flash memory. Any attempt to write additional
data to the system, change system data, or install any additional software installed will be
“misunderstood” by the system at the next start-up. The system will then boot to the default
settings. This extends the life of the system and prevents any accidental changes that
would adversely affect the performanace of the instrument. Please note that changing
compact flash drives from read-only media to read-write media can shorten the lives of the
drives. If the EWF is disabled for any reason, please re-anable it upon completion of the
task.
CRUMAR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS is not responsible for any damage you cause to the
operating system. However, CRUMAR is able to restore the CRUMAR Mojo system
settings to factory specifications. Please contact CRUMAR if you have any operating
system issues.
VB3 CE 2
The VB3 CE 2 software program automatically starts when the CRUMAR Mojo is powered
on. The VB3 CE 2 is the most advanced electromagnetic organ emulation software
available and features many editable parameters that enable the instrument to emulate a
wide variety of tonewheel organs. Many of these parameters can be edited from the
control panel of the CRUMAR Mojo, which can be helpful to adjust the sound during live
performances. Additional parameters can be edited via the Graphical User Interface (GUI),
which can be accessed when a monitor and mouse are connected to the instrument.
