“As a musician/instrumentalist, I had been frustrated by controllers that lacked an expressive interface — button grids simply did not do it for me. Then the Mojo came along. With its combination of ribbons, switches, buttons, and ergonomic design, I was in controller heaven. Playing with sound had never been so much fun!” — Goyopod





“The Mojo is the single greatest controller in the history of MIDI. If it had a vagina I would never leave the house.” — Ill Gates
