” Habe vor langer Zeit mit diesem Instrument gute Musik mit tollen Effekten gemacht. Ideal für Bands mit professioneller Erfahrung. Er hat nun aber auch lange gestanden und weist gelegentlich Kontaktschwierigkeiten in der Elektrik(Staub,bzw. leichte Korosion) auf. Ich habe bereits auch schon in früherer Zeit das Gerät zum Reinigen gebracht. Danach war er 1a, also kann man mit Sicherheit sagen, das man mit geringem Einsatz das gute Stück wiederbeleben kann. Ich kann nur sagen ich habe sehr gerne Aufgrund des echt guten Sounds mit dem Synthesizer gespielt. Ansonsten ist er funktionstüchtig.” Link

“CRUMAR BIT ONE SYNTHESIZER

HAVING A SORT OUT IN MY STUDIO AND I HAVEN’T USED THIS FOR SOME TIME, SO DECIDED TO LET HER GO..

ALL SEEM TO BE WORKING AS SHE SHOULD BE, AFTER HAVING TO RESET SOME CONNECTOR, BUT STILL PRODUCES SOME GREAT SOUNDS FROM YEARS PAST.

CONDITION FOR HER AGE ISN’T TO BAD, FRONT PANEL HAS SOME BLISTERING AND THE SCREEN PRINT IS WORN IN PLACES, SHE COULD DO WITH A SERVICE AS I HAVE A FEELING SHE HAS A FEW DRY JOINT OR JUST DIRTY CONNECTOR, BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR A VINTAGE MACHINE??” Link

“For auction is my Crumar Stratus polysynth. I bought it five years ago to use in a band but it has primarily sat in my music room unused. Unlike many Stratus synths occasionally popping up on eBay this one is working, However, it’s not in perfect working condition. Some notes sound quieter than others. It probably needs some capacitors replaced or trimpots on the filter/VCA board dialed in to work at 100%. There are also a few cosmetic issues. Both wooden (particleboard) end cheeks are chipped. The paint and lettering are scratched in a few places, but all functions are still readable. There is one aftermarket pot for the filter cutoff and it’s knob is missing. I tried to capture this in the photos above. Due to these issues, I have to sell this as is.” Link

“ber-rare, collectable and, what’s more, AWESOME Analogue Monosynth – The Crumar Spirit

Very sorry to be selling this but I have to fund other things and I don’t really use it often enough to do it justice. It deserves a new and happy home – maybe yours?

This is one of the most powerful and certainly the most mind-boggling vintage analogue monosynths around. Designed by (the big man himself) Bob Moog, Tom Rhea and Jim Scott in the early 1980s for Italian company, Crumar (from MARio CRUcianelli, in case you were wondering).

Rumours abound as to how many of these were actually made – they arrived at rather the wrong time and were eclipsed by the digital DX7 – as few as 100, definitely not more than 300. This baby is serial number 20. What’s more, this exact instrument was previously owned by the legendary and sadly long gone BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Who knows what TV themes and incidental sound effects it has graced? A proper collectors item.

In full working order, good cosmetic condition, with vinyl carrying case, user manual and service schematics. ” Link

LFO Fader rechts oben ist abgebrochen, lässt sich aber trotzdem verschieben und regeln (siehe Foto2)
Hat immer einwandfrei funktioniert. Jetzt nach langer Zeit kommt bei der Mono Funktion nur noch extrem leise ein Ton und die Fader rauschen. Kann eigentlich keine große Sache sein?

WORKING CONDITION- Does not power up. Certainly has to be any easy fix though. Sold as is.” Link

“He is a ‘World Famous’ Synth Tech and knows his way around Analog gear. He’s a great guy too, if a little excentric !!

This is Mint, with only two flaws cosmectically that an airbrush would solve easily. A small nick in the top, back edge ( see pics ) and a shadow in the black that you can only see in direct light or flash….

These are rare to find especially in mint condition and sound similar to ARP and Oberheim.” Link

“Crumar ‘Roady’ analogue keyboard.

Classic analogue keyboard as favored by Mark Ronson among others. Features ‘Bass’ (for lower part of keyboard), ‘Vibes’ with a tremolo effect section, and ‘Keys’ (one sounds like a Rhodes and another sounds like a harpsichord). You can ply each soaund individually, or combine them in different combinations.

The keyboard has a main (mono) output for the full mix, as well as separate outs for the individual sounds if you want greater control in the mix.

The keyboard is fully working, the master volume pot can sometimes sound a bit scratchy when turned, case in good condition for an instrument this age, lovely wooden sides and good metal case. There are 3 small holes in teh top of the case where (i guess) a music stand of some sort used to clip in – this has been lost somewhere along the way.

It’s a great keyboard, fully working, and I am selling, sadly, for reasons of economics and space. ” Link

“This is an exceptionally rare and difficult to find Oberheim vintage sequencer which was bought years ago with an Arp 2500 synthesizor. As you can see from the pictures, the serial number is an unbelievably low 017! The body of the device is very clean and in great condition. As you can see it has a copy of the original factory manual. The device powers on but I really don’t know anything beyond that as to how well it works. I’m not a synthesizor player and I’m not an electronics tech, so for this reason I’m selling the sequencer as is.” Link

Some of the lines in the upper voice Display are out. i changed the battery and loaded the factory patches and had it playing for a couple days then all of a sudden started having hanging notes, sounds would play but is like it has the release all the way up and wont stop.” Link

“Bit One Vintage Synth
80′s Analog Digital Hybrid

There is plenty of information on this synth online so I do not intend to go into a technical description here
vintagesynth and synthmuseum are good websites to visit

As potential bidders/buyers will see this is a low start no reserve auction so the synth will sell
I will tell you what I know (1), what I do not know (2) and what I can guess (3) about this synth so please read carefully

(1) This synth was made in the mid 80′s by Crumar (an Italian company) it retailed then at £800
The original owner decided to emigrate to the States and wanting to travel light sold all his gear before going
The synth has since been stored protected in a dry cosy loft for some 20 plus years and was rather “out of sight out of mind”
The cosmetic condition of the synth is Very Good, certainly Excellent for age with very few marks indeed
The synth is a UK voltage model taking a kettle type lead and powered up first time without issue

(2) I have listened to the synth through headphones and although I do not have the instructions, have achieved various “synth type” sounds
I would describe them as very 80′s and Human League’s “Love Action” immediately came to mind!
The digital numbers illuminated, the keys all seemed to function and different settings achieved different sounds
Having said that I have no real idea of how this should sound or what is expected of various settings and there are functions I do not know how to access

(3) I understand the synth has a settings back up battery, this is bound to need replacing
The bend and mod wheels and the volume, detune & noise sliders will likely need cleaning with a deoxit/faderlube type product
I understand the IC’s are socketed and would probably benefit from a remove clean and re-seat
Capacitors will fail over time but given the ultra low use of this synth they are likely ok here
It is highly likely the synth will not be in tune after so many years so adjustment will probably be required

In summary this is a Vintage Synth of the Mid 80′s costing rather alot for back then but starting at .99p now
With known history of little use and lots of storage.
Presented in very good indeed cosmetic condition but likely to require a service/tune-up
which the new owner will have to decide themselves whether they can d.i.y or refer to a synth engineer” Link

“Es ist sehr rar und einzigartig Synthesizer. Es klingt dick und Kombination aller Instrumente (solo Synthesizer, Poly Synth, Orgel und Streicher) gibt einen einzigartigen Sound. In soto Synth haben Sie 5 Wellenformen zu wählen! und Sie können es mit Poly-Synth Mix zu dick 3 Oszillator-Synthesizer zu schaffen! Leslie-Emulation souds große und sofort führt Sie bis ’80 Jahre .” Link

“Up for sale is a Crumar Performer analog string and brass synthesizer in nice cosmetic shape and in great working condition. Cosmetically, a few of the slider caps are missing (as pictured). Functionally, a couple of keys are intermittent in operation. Overall, this Performer is in great shape for its age.” Link

“Its a faulty Crumar DS-2 for sale, 99p start and collection only from London, N1
I got given it by a friend never had time to fix it.

Turning on LFO ligths up, some sounds comes out but it needs a full ovehaul and repair.
Could either be fixed, used for parts, or just used for the strange broken sounds it’s already giving. So please do not expect this to work properly.

!!!! This is sold as seen and with no guarantee !!!!” Link

“Great condition! Absolutely Beautiful String Machine Here!

Well maintained. Has one small crack in the back wood, which appears to be a normal thing with this model. This is the same string/brass synth used by Duran Duran, The Cure, Washed Out, etc.

Comes with original gig bag.” Link

“Voll funktionstüchtig. Verfügt über eine Brass und String-Sektion sowie Modulation (FM + VCF). Bei der Brass-Sektion fehlen bei 4 Schiebreglern die Plastikköpfe, was bei der Bedienung jedoch nicht stört. Alterbedingtes Poti-Kratzen ist schon mal zu hören, ist jedoch nicht besonders auffällig. Ansonsten fetter Sound. Auf der Frontseite hat ein Vorbesitzer mit Goldstift was draufgemalt, sticht aber nicht besonders ins Auge.” Link

“This is a vintage Crumar performer. This is an analogue synth that seems to be working well. Looks like it’s missing on slide knob.. see last pic. All keys are working… all functions are working. No static. Has some rust on the fron panels. The wooden case has a few scratches and dings, but it’s ready for more war.” Link

“This auction is for a Vintage Crumar Performer Analogue Made in Italy Synthesizer. All original without any repairs or modifications. All functions work as it should. Its missing one slider knob and the slider shaft on the Brass Resonance slot is broken off. You can still slide it up or down with your finger. In excellent cosmetic condition with no rust and all keys work as they they should. . Comes with original Crumar carrying case-in excellent condition.” Link

“Crumar Stratus Synthesizer For Repair or Parts.

The unit does not power up anymore. No power cord. Please see pics below for cosmetic condition.

Selling AS-IS for Parts or Repair.

Also includes a carrying bag that is in fair condition.” Link

“This machine is not working. It does come on and will make some sound but is not functioning correctly. It is missing a few knobs and a slider tip cover. There is a chip out of the left end cheek. These things have been pictured. I have no time currently to work on this machine and I desperately need space to work on other equipment. So…there is no reserve and the starting bid is low. If you have an old Trilogy or Stratus this might contain some parts you need. There are also CEM chips inside that may be of use as well however, I’m not sure of their functionality. CEM’s that are used in this machine are 3310, 3320, 3380. How many? I can’t say off hand but there’s a good number. Like I said though, I can’t say how many CEM’s are good!” Link

“I know, these don’t come up for sale very often. Nice condition for its age, amazing routing possibilities, two filters and two lfos. Probably one of the most flexible and powerful analog monosynths ever made. Only about 200 made, so quite rare.” Link

“This auction is for my Crumar Stratus analogue polysynth. I have owned this synth for over 20 years and is still as far as I can tell, in perfect working order. It comes with the origonal Crumar soft flight case.

This is the Trilogy’s rarer little brother. It is an extremely versatile and powerful 49 key 2 oscillator 6 note polyphonic analog synth that uses CEM chips, the same type inside the most sought-after vintage analog polysynths, so there’s a very similar sound.

The only damage is a scrape on the corner of the laminate as the photo shows but this is a very heavy synth and has been dragged around to gigs and studios in its lifetime!” Link

“Achtung Sammler, Bastler und Synthieliebhaber !

Zum Verkauf steht ein sehr, sehr seltenes und äusserst interessantes Stück Synthesizergeschichte.

Der Crumar DS 2 war der erste Synthesizer überhaupt mit einer digitalen Steuerung der analogen Oszillatoren und damit stimmstabil.

Ausserdem ist er ein “Hybridgerät” welches sowohl eine sehr komplexe monofone Synthesizersektion, als auch eine komplette separate polyfone Stringsektion enthält.
Diese Kombination macht den DS 2 wirklich einmalig und somit zum must-have jedes Sammlers.

Bitte lest zu diesem Thema unbedingt den ausführlichen Test in Amazona von Falconi.
(Der Zuverlässigkeitsvergleich mit einem Fiat 127 ist ungerecht ! Mein Fiat 127 ist schon nach vier Monaten ausgefallen – der Crumar hat 33 Jahre gehalten !)

Der Crumar klingt im Grundsound irgendwo zwischen Moog Prodigy und Sequential Pro-One – sehr druckvoll und rotzig frech – hat aber mehr Modulationsmöglichkeiten.
Killerbässe und gefühlvolle Leads sind überhaupt kein Problem. Dazu noch eine tolle Stringsektion, die an einen Solina erinnert.

Zur Historie:

Das angebotene Exemplar stammt aus 1. Hand (eines Rentners) und hat seit seinem Kauf 1978 (Seriennummer A195) das NR-Wohn- / Arbeitszimmer nicht mehr verlassen.

Dementsprechend ist der optische Zustand makellos. Der Tolex, die Schalter, die Kanten sowie die Schaltfläche sind Kratzerfrei.
Allerdings ist ein Schalter der LFO->VCF Steuerung abgebrochen, wodurch die Funktion aber nicht beeinträchtigt wird.

Zur Technik:

Der Crumar ist defekt !
Nun – glaubt man den Gerüchten, ist das heute so gut wie jeder DS-2 – und ich bin geneigt, dem Glauben zu schenken, da – wie gesagt – dieses Exemplar keinerlei mechanischer Belastung unterworfen war, sondern die elektronischen Bauteile irgendwann einfach durchs Alter beeinträchtigt werden.

Bis vor vier Monaten hatte das Gerät noch einwandfrei funktioniert um dann urplötzlich während dem Spielen auszusetzen.

Das Gerät lässt sich problemlos einschalten – alle Lichter leuchten und alle Schalter rasten sauber ein und sind leichtgängig zu bedienen.
Gleiches gilt auch für die Schieberegler. Alle Ausgänge funktionieren. Die Tastatur lässt sich einwandfrei spielen.” Link

“very good cosmetic condition, clean, very little to no wear on the wooden edges, powers up and works, everything functions BUT the output for the string section is a lot lower than it should be. ” Link

“Vintage Crumar String-Performer Polyphonic Analog Synth

From The personal collection of Paul Savoy:

Paul is the guitarist and main songwriter for A-ha, one of the most successful bands of the 1980s. He has written most of the band’s biggest hits, including “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.”, “Hunting High and Low”, “Take on Me”, the James Bond theme “The Living Daylights” and the ballad “Summer Moved On”. Mr. Savoy is a patron of the Woodstock Music Shop.

In great condition, some minor wear, but expected for a synth this old, works 100%.” Link

“This monster analog polyphonic is a truly unique and mega powerful paraphonic analogue synth, string ensemble and organ.

It is in good condition for its age and has recently been properly re-furbished- all circuitry has been meticulously cleaned and red led lights have been replaced with new ones. The piano keys have been re-sprung, so it plays like new.

It sounds great! ” Link

“Welcome Bidders, you are bidding on a great piece. This is the vintage Crumar Performer synthesizer. The Performer is a 49 key synth that came out in the late 70′s and is fully polyphonic. It is best known for its string sounds. The String section features 8′ and 16′ settings with 2 oscillators per voice. Attack & Sustain sliders control the envelope. The is also a Brass section with one oscillator and a square wave generator. Each section completely changes the overall tone, giving you access to lots of really cool synth tones. Crumars were used by such artists as Duran Duran and Sun Ra. This beauty has been tested and works well- some small static in the sliders. If you need that incredible polyphonic analog synth tone- this is where you want to be. No reserve. ” Link

“Up for auction is this VINTAGE CRUMAR ORCHESTRATOR SYNTHESIZER, Good working and cosmetic condition, some tolex tears, but nothing major , cover latches do not lock, I think there is a missing part on both, everything is original and working as it should, 3 missing knobs, and one of the slide pole pot (right hand volume brass control) is broken but still working.” Link

“For Sale. Crumar Trilogy.
Not in the best condition but works.
There are a few issues however:
The top b flat key and mechanism are missing.
The key action is not the best.
A fair bit of rusting on the face.
Damage to the wooden ends.
Some caps have been replaced on the organ sliders.

This synth is best known for it’s string sound which is similar to the ARP Solina.
The synth section is not the greatest but quite fun nonetheless. It has seven presets (which can be manually edited if you are prepared to lift the lid!) and one user patch.
It is 100% analog, the resonance on the VCF can seriously damage your speakers if you are not careful.
The synth section is useable but could do with a half decent effects unit to add a bit of depth.
It could do with a good service really but as I say it does work and is perfectly useable in a studio set up.” Link

“Crumar Orchestrator Synthesizer. Includes 2 pedals and full keyboard cover (not pictured, it’s a hard hinging cover that completely closes the syth up). I have had this unit for about 15 years and it’s time to make some space for new gear!! Want a fat smooth retro sound? Need something to go on the road with you that sets you apart from the rest?? Don’t go to Best Buy and grab the first keyboard you see…..look at this little gem. It plays like it should, yes, but personally I think it’s GREAT for running throught some modern or vintage effects and using it for pure NOISE!!!!!! Swirls and thick moods, effects and backgrounds to your work. Up to you. I have the brochures that originally came with it, as well as a little felt CRUMAR flag (?) that was given away when purchased new. I will have to look around a bit to find them, I haven’t put my hands on these for about 10 years but i’m pretty sure they are still in a file somewhere.” Link

“Italian manufacturer, Crumar, produced some truly great products in their time but sadly they never made the impact they deserved (possibly because Crumar also made some real lemons that soured the manufacturer’s reputation somewhat).
Crumar brought good sounding synths at affordable prices – they gave us the Bit 01 synth (and its derivatives), one of the first affordable dual oscillator polysynths and their ‘Organiser’ series of organs were surprisingly good as well.

One of the other products they made was the Crumar Performer, a versatile string synthesiser that was as good as any of their more famous rivals.

An offshoot of their ‘Multiman’, the Performer was a string synth first and foremost but, like the ARP String Ensemble, they also included a ‘brass’ section which was actually not bad for simple polysynth sounds. It was the string sound, however, that was the best thing about this underrated little gem!

It was lush and swirly, featured a three band EQ section, adjustable attack and release envelope controls and an LFO and you could coax a lot of sounds out of its simple feature set. Well orchestrated, it could sound surprisingly realistic.

The Performer was most famously used by Duran Duran but it was (is?) a staple part of the St Etienne sound as well.

Here are the known things I should bring up. One of the G keys isn’t playing. I think it’s a contact issue which would be easy to fix. The Brass button works when you press it but does not stick to the ON position. Should be fairly easy to fix that too. There was some rust that I took off and repainted which you can see in photo. that being said the sounds this produces are awesome!” Link

“This particular Item was given to me many years ago by a good friend of mine. I have in the past heard it working around his house, prior to him giving me this item, but he had not had it set up for around 5 years when he gave it to me, and it was stored in a cupboard.

What I can tell you about the Stratus is that it’s quite heavy, I know this very well because the day my good friend gave me this keyboard, I carried it a good quarter of a mile from his house to mine. At the time despite being physically knackered by carrying it, I was excited and eager to get it plugged in and have a tinkle on it, as at that time the only keyboard I pocessed was a Casio CT640 which was very much a plastic toy in comparison to this beast.

Sadly upon plugging it in, all I heard out of it was a sizzling noise from the circuitry to which I switched it off, and stuck it in my own cupboard, and it’s been there for about 10 years or so. I only rediscovered it recently upon having a good clear out, and tidying up the cupboards around the house. I can also remember my Mrs saying to me at the time I brought it home “no wonder he gave it to you, it’s nothing but a pile of junk” Well that’s women for you lol…” Link

“Crumar Performer 1978 Italian String/Brass Polyphonic Synthesizer

Minor cosmetic flaws: chipped right wood end, missing octave switch(the wires are there and touching them operates switch-changes octave),cigarette burn in a higher white key(doesn’t affect playing) Missing slider caps, one slider is gone(but still has enough to move up and down(easy fix,as are the other 2 issues)

That being said,p this thing, sounds awesome- works fine despite octave switch(i never used anyways), with Brass sections, and Strings workinghow they should. Forget Duran Duran, I used this on recordings.And havin a few legendary poly synths(this is every key polyphony) at my disposal,
i always reached for this one…very rich sounding, fat bassy brass -mix em’ together…
This is my 2nd Performer, and my last one didn’t have functional strings…

ONLY PROBLEMS ARE THAT 2 OF THE KEYS ARE SLIGHTLY CHIPPED AT THE EDGE, PLEASE SEE PICTURES TO FOLLOW.

ALSO, A SMALL PART OF THE LEFT SIDE PANEL HAS SNAPPED OFF AT THE END. NOTHING MAJOR AND NONE OF THIS EFFECTS THE PLAYABILITY OF THE SYNTH. ALL KEYS FUNCTION PROPERLY AS THEY SHOULD.

” This a Vintage Crumar Bit 99 Analogue synth (the less common white version !)

It has new solid oak end cheeks the originals are also included in the sale.

Its a great sounding very capable synth.” Link

“A great Italian synth. Has a cigarette burn on keyboard. Several sliders have tips broken off, but still work. I am not a synth expert, but I would say this unit is working well. All of the controls seem to do something. This DS 2 can make some heavy, fat tones that is for sure. I think that one of the 1/4 inch outputs is not working. Some Pots may need cleaning etc. You should assume that this keyboard will need some work to be up to 100%.This is a circa 1978 board, and should be gone over by a qualified tech. That said it has served me well as it is right now.” Link

“A must for the vintage synth. fan. The Cumar Performer was one of the best string and brass synths of the 70′s. This unit is in working order. all sliders and switches in good condition. the strings sound great. As was tipical of early poly keyboards the brass is a bit disapionting. I have used this instument in my studio when i just have to have that vintage sound. The bag is included but the ziper dose not work. Sold as-is” Link
