Crumar announces new DK61 61-key Waterfall MIDI Controller for Organ players

Crumar and UK distributor Sound Technology are pleased to announce the new Crumar DK61. The Crumar DK61 is the ultimate MIDI controller for organ players. 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 the DK61’s combination of functionality and design.

The DK61 sports a brand-new, proprietary 61-note waterfall keyboard developed in collaboration with PULSE. 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 keeps 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) and 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. Aesthetically, the DK61 embraces a traditional look with wooden side panels and top, giving you that vintage vibe on stage or in the studio.

Owners of tonewheel-emulating software and hardware modules can finally control them with a purpose built interface that delivers all the features this unique instrument demands—at an astonishingly affordable price.

Right out of the box, the Crumar DK61 is fully compatible with Genuine Soundware’s VB3 Hammond simulation software. Enable the USB option in VB3 and experience bidirectional communication – your controller not only sends commands but also receives real-time feedback from the software. With tens of thousands of VB3 users worldwide (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), we’ve also included a 30% off coupon for VB3 in every DK61 package, so even if you don’t own the software yet, you’re covered. The DK61 can also be used with other virtual organs or synths, simply take advantage of the MIDI Learn feature built into virtually every modern music VST.

The Crumar DK61 will be available from December 2025 priced at £499 RRP inc VAT.
