Crumar DK61

CRUMAR DK61 is the ultimate MIDI controller for authentic tonewheel organ sounds (Hammond). It features nine real drawbars (no faders), dedicated percussion controls, vibrato, Leslie control, and more. Despite years of demand, there’s nothing else on the market that matches its combination of functionality and design.

The DK61 sports a brand-new, proprietary 61-note waterfall keyboard developed in collaboration with PULSE (www.pulsekeyboards.com). You get lightning-fast action with high initial contact (just like a classic Hammond) while the keyboard itself weighs a mere 2 kg. That ultra-light design lets us keep the entire unit’s weight down to only 8 kg.

Power comes straight from the rear USB port (either from your computer or a USB charger), of course capable of MIDI stream. You also get a traditional MIDI OUT port plus connections for a half-moon switch (HMS-20-BK) and dual rail footswitch (CFS-12), sustain pedal, and expression pedal.
