Crumar Bit 01

“Welcome to the listing for this vintage Crumar Bit 01 Analog Synthesizer, a rare and highly sought-after piece of analog synthesis history known for its lush polyphonic sound and versatile programming capabilities.

**Disclaimer:**
Before we proceed, it’s essential to note that while this synthesizer appears to be vintage and in good condition, I’m selling it on behalf of a friend. Neither he nor I can guarantee its functionality. It’s being sold as is.

**Cleaning Disclosure:**
I’ve done my best to clean the exterior of the equipment using standard household cleaners, although it hasn’t undergone meticulous detailing due to limited resources. Nonetheless, it’s significantly cleaner than when it was acquired. However, I recommend exercising caution and inspecting the unit thoroughly upon receipt.

**Description:**
The Crumar Bit 01 is a legendary analog synthesizer renowned for its warm and distinctive sound, thanks to its six-voice polyphony and versatile synthesis architecture. With its intuitive interface and programmable parameters, this synthesizer offers endless sonic possibilities for musicians, producers, and sound designers alike.

Featuring classic analog waveforms, onboard effects, and modulation options, the Crumar Bit 01 allows you to create everything from lush pads and ethereal textures to punchy basslines and soaring leads. Whether you’re composing in the studio or performing on stage, this synthesizer delivers the vintage analog warmth and character that’s synonymous with the golden age of synthesis.”

“You are purchasing a Crumar Bit One 1 Vintage Synthesizer Mega Rare flightcased GWO Superb condition

This vintage analog synthesizer is in an excellent condition as shown – these were made in around 1984 and have been used by many well known artists over the years

I have tested this (this needs to be connected to an external amplifier & speaker) and it all seems to be working fine, but I haven’t got a clue how to program it properly

All keys are working fine, there are sounds working on the programs, all switches and sliders work as they should

These are very rare to come across in any condition, but this one is really clean and doesn’t look as though it’s been gigged

This comes in a wooden flight case as shown for protection

This uses a standard IEC power cable so no awkward trailing leads attached to it

Connections are standard 1/4″ Jack

This does have MIDI, but by all accounts as it’s very early MIDI it’s not that good, but I haven’t connected it this way personally as haven’t got the equipment or knowledge to do this” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“An amazing classic synth with a lovely fat sound – can demonstrate if need be.
I have to admit its sat in the rack unused here in my home studio for 20 Years!!
Only problem is the two volumes sliders have broken off.They can still easily be moved using flat device and could be easily fixed.
Given how old this is I think its in amazing condition” Click here to search for synths on eBay
