🧵 … continuing with my Hammonditis… so since this old #HammondOrgan love of mine unveiled again, I couldn't help but ordering a #CrumarD9U.
Which is a 9 #drawbar USB controller unit with a sucky micro USB connector that easily breaks, for ~180€. Quite a lot of cash for 9 stupid faders… but as it seems to me, I need this to go along with my #CrumarMojorDesktop #Clonewheel #Organ. I can live with not having the 2 drawbars for the bass, but I need them for both manuals. Which I am currently playing via an Roland JD-XA and a cheap Thomann/Swissonic keyboard, both with 49 keys.
Turns out not having a waterfall keyboard isn't that much of a problem for me. Hammer action keyboards don't work out, but synth ones do.
I just love tweaking drawbars, playing dissonant intervals and going into distortion, it's like a whole world of sonic opportunities to be discovered.

Also it makes me listen to oldie goldies from Uriah Heep and Van der Graaf Generator again.
Going live Tuesday next week!
