RARE CRUMAR COMPOSER SN 00442

"It is an Italian analogue polyphonic synth. Less than 500 of these were produced! Serial number is U1/00442. It is very rare and unique synthesizer.

It sounds thick and combining all 4 instruments (solo synth, poly synth, organ and strings) gives a unique sound.

In solo synth section you have 5 waveforms to choose. You can mix it with poly synth to create thick 3 oscillator synthesizer! Leslie emulation sounds great and strings will take you to 80's :)

Interestingly Composer uses the same CEM chip to VCA, filters and envelope at such giants as Memorymoog, Oberheim OBX, OBXa/OB8, SCI Prophet 5!

This is a description made by sounddoctorin and a comparison and list of chips used in the Crumar.

Used chips:
- oscillators: (same used in: Crumar Stratus, Trilogy, Performer, Multiman)
- envelopes: Curtis CEM3310 (same used in: Crumar Stratus, Trilogy, Memorymoog, Oberheim OBX, OBXa/OB8, SCI Prophet 5)
- filter: Curtis CEM3320 (same used in: Crumar Stratus, Trilogy, Memorymoog, Oberheim OBXa/OB8, SCI Prophet 5)
- VCA: Curtis CEM3330 (same used in: Crumar Stratus, Trilogy).

Some great functions: keyboard split, mixer for all sections, ADSR, positive/negative envelope amount, cutoff, resonance, independent outputs for all parts, breath controller.

Waldorf Pulse Analog Synth with Original Box

"Highly regarded, and great sounding 3 oscillator synth with multiple waveforms and noise source, arpeggiator and multiple modulation routes. Midi in, Out and through. Presets and memory plus random setting feature which can generate some really interesting results..."

Update: in the post comments below popman called out that his Pulse does not have the Waldorf logo on top.  I actually have an older Nextel painted model minus the logo.  The paint job on this unit indicates a later model Pulse.  What's interesting is it has the original Pulse style knobs vs. the later "silo" or the even later semi-translucent style Waldorf knobs.

Easel Peace



Buchla Music Easel composition by Todd Barton.

"A short atmospheric drone piece performed live with just a Boss RC-20 looper and the new Easel with it's on board spring reverb cranked up."

Theme from Magnum P.I. on Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer

Published on Nov 23, 2013 Ryan Long·40 videos

"You can hear some of the pitch/tracking issues, but overall I am very pleased with this unit. I do not own the rights to this music. I understand it was written by Mike Post.

All Guitar, Bass, Strings, Piano, and Brass were generated by the Roland GR-55. In other words, everything is played on guitar synthesizer except the drums.

Some compression and light reverb added during the mixdown."
