Crumar DS2 Analog Synthesizer


via this auction

"Crumar DS 2 analog synthesizer. This synth was manufactured from 1978 through the early 1980s and has a rich analog sound. The Crumar DS 2 is rare and very unique. The synth has two monophonic oscillators and a separate polyphonic section. All oscillators are routed to a 4-pole lowpass filter and then through the VCA. The VCOs, VCF, and VCA can all be modulated by two LFOs. The LFO routing capabilities of the Crumar DS 2 are very unique. The synthesizer is fully functional with the exception of a non-functioning LFO delay and pitch drift in the polyphonic section."

  1. Just got one of these, it was 'broken' when I got it, still in the process of repairing the first oscillator and poly section. A very notable feature is the keyboard scaling on the cutoff frequency which is musically tuned, that's right kids, the filter is now a musically accurate (and unique) oscillator when the resonance is turned up. My first monosynth, the lfo routing on this thing is extremely robust.
