Crumar DS2 Project Machine

“A rare vintage Italian synthesizer from CRUMAR, the DS2 model.

I am listing this synthesizer because i know there are others out there as into these rare classic analog synths and the way they look as I am.

This synth is NOT at all working and it most probably never will be. It seems to have been sitting a very very long time in a moisture rich environment.

To be honest i would think that this unit is far past any hopes of restoration, I have never worked on electronics and am not a expert but it is pretty rough. It has a ammonia smell when you open the synth where all the parts are. The body and inside has rust spots all over it. the spot to plug the power cord into the unit seems to be missing. All of the nobs, sliders and switches do turn or slide though.

I would think this would be more for someone looking to use pieces of it for projects or to use it as a prop or for a decoration.

Again this unit is very far from useable, probably a 15 out of 100 condition. however, If you have always wanted to own one of these and cannot afford the 3-4 thousand dollar asking price for a working version, then this maybe for you, i would just hate for something so rare and beautiful to end up in the scrap yard” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“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.

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:**

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.”

Crumar Performer Project Machine

“Selling my Crumar Synth. This synth was running fine five years ago. It was put into storage and when it came out was not working. It powers up but some times shuts down.

Not playing. Seems to only be emitting sound from the Signal jack. It makes a crackling sound with some semblance of notes when playing.
I’m not too well versed in electronics, musical instruments or synthesizers, so please excuse me.  I took it to an electrical engineering friend of mine a few months ago and he seems to think it’s an issue with the power source.
Looks clean inside. Boards look good with no sign of burning. Wires still intact with no wear and nicely organized.

SURFACE: Seven of the top sliders are missing their caps. (they are currently being reproduced and can be purchased on Ebay)
Two of the sliders that are missing their cap are also split but can still be toggled and can likely still be fitted with a cap if wanted.
Slight corrosion to the outer metal casing but not too bad.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Crumar DS 2 Project Machine

“Crumar DS 2 analog synth that needs an overhaul. Quite an Italian beast. This unit powers up,however that’s all I can verify. I see the lfo leds blinking, and if I crank the volume all the way up, I can hear a faint bit of sound from the audio output. Pitch bend lever is tight, some knobs are tight, some sliders are tight. Keybed bushings are long worn out, it’s clicky. Top of case has a broken catch that was replaced with a door latch. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Blending all 4 parts, SoloSynth, Poly Synth, Strings and Organ with the voice mixer, totally unique sounds are available with this classic synth.

Use the presets or go freestyle with synth controls, the possibilities are endless.

Supplied with the original Crumar Carry Bag and the breath control tube with three spare mouthpieces.”

Crumar bit one

“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

sounds great, has one white key that needs attention, it is raised up like a pointing finger. unfortunately it will hold a note if pressed, the key to the left also feels a bit suspect . Just needs a little love .

as stated its for refurbishment and i am sure this can be done with the greater of ease to those in the know..

original patches no longer on the memory chip but this can be dowloaded and reinstalled if i am not mistaken.

Has dated flight case with no key for the lock but serves well to protect it on a day to day basis

im not looking for you thoughts on the synth model, i’m just looking to sell.”

Crumar Bit 99

“Crumar Bit 99 Analogue synthesizer – Needs repair.

It works but has some problems.
Mainly needs to get up to temperature before resonance kicks in on filters – suspect a cracked pub track or wire
Also some note rotation oddity, some notes don’t play. but this is not a keyboard/ keybed problem. Its completely random.

All 6 CEM 3328s are good and work. So could be used as donor.

Probably needs a re cap and check all pcb traces to make working fully again,

These are awesome sounding synths, give oberheims and JP6s a run for money.
Sonically kick Junos out of the park.
Once I got this many years ago I sold my Juno as better richer sounding and much more versatile.
Has Midi, and there are midi SYSex editors for it. However the keypad entry is pretty quick once you get used to it. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
