User Manual

START-UP: after connecting the audio cableS, the expression and sustain pedal, you can

connect the power supply to the instrument and to the AC main: the instrument is under

voltage. Pressing the “power” button, Crumar Mojo will start-up and the red light on the

“power” button will lights up. At this point, the instrument start the boot process during

which some control operation will take effect (instrument state control, auto-regulation of

sustain pedal, etc) and the internal processor starts to load the sound software: this

operation lasts about 20 seconds. The boot sequence is also displayed through the light-

up in sequence of the leds on the top panel indicating that the instrument needs to be

synchronized once the tone generator has been initialized: when the instrument plays

acting on the keyboards, you must manually press manual upper and manual lower push-

buttons (or any of the preset buttons on lower and upper manual) to synchronize midi-

sound software: the sequence of leds will turn off and the leds related to active functions

will turn on.

OFF: to switch off, you must hold down the button “power” on top panel for 4 seconds: all

leds will turn off: it is important to remember that the instrument is still under voltage until

you disconnect the power supply; in the case you are planning to leave the instrument off

for more than one or two hours, we recommend to unplug the power supply from the AC

main for extend the life of the power supply and to avoid unnecessary waste of energy.

USE: Crumar Mojo is a modern computer-based musical instrument which offers

significant advantages over a traditional one: the “heart of sound” is based on VST

technology VB3 HE II that runs on a Windows XP Embedded (XPE in short): well if the

instrument is immediately intuitive and easy to use, its construction offers advanced

programming, edit and upgrade features that make it unique: in fact, just connecting to

Crumar Mojo a mouse and a computer screen, you can access the software GUI and

perform many operations and customizations.

Difference between traditional Windows XP desktop and Windows XP embedded is that

Windows XP Embedded is modulated in components.

Windows XP Embedded is basically a special version of XP, created for a particular

application, as in our case, to make music: hence the direct benefits that relate to the

minimal size of the system, the absolute stability and integration of the components based

on actual demand, and very fast start-up time; adding to that, the familiarity that average

user has got with a personal computer that allows it to gain access to the classic features

of a regular PC.

Windows XP Embedded also offers some additional features that make it actually more

that the traditional Windows XP.

The most important feature of XP Embedded for the user is the management of the filter

called “Enhanced Write Filter” from now on callled “EWF”. “EWF” provides the opportunity

to protect the image of XPE from accidentaly or volontary over-writing, without going

deeper, it is important to know that this feature allows you to boot XPE for example from a

CD-ROM. Protect your XPE image (Crumar Mojo operating system) is very important in

two ways: as Mojo doesn’t come with hard drives but all the system works using a flash
