"For your consideration is an early 1980s Crumar CPB-2 bass pedal synthesizer in great looking and working condition. The plastic cover is missing 2 mounting screws. The aluminum face plate has a mild lift on this analog synthesizer. As you may already know, Crumar made these for Music Technology by Elettronica model # CPB-2 or just better known as Crumar of Italy. It has been completely tested and found excellent with big space tones, and sort of the early 80s big cinema movies such as the “ Shining“ or “Space Odyssey“ - very fun to listen to and play. All switches and tones sound fantastic and are “tight“. Now, this is a rather big item: 30 lbs., 28” long, 18” deep, 7” tall. There is light rust on the steel undercarriage, but for the most part a very solid vintage synthesizer. The Crumar CPB-2 is a 13 pedal bass synthesizer featuring: saw and triangle waveforms, 16’ & 32’ a resonant low bass filter and release control, tune, envelope, resonance and release doubling, and wave form. All and all, I’d give this a very B Movie Synth Vibe. There is plenty of info on this online. Again it performs and responds to the controls instantly with great drama - from sci fi to hi fi - a very RARE SYNTH."

"10 voice rackmount monster in well loved but functional shape. Has a Rev 3 board that can take the 30 Voice upgrade. Includes original manual and power supply. Plenty of 'character' on the panel - this is not a minty piece. Issues - missing one knob and slippy big red encoder - works but is fiddly. Had it serviced in 2010 by Waldorf certified tech John Leimseider at the Cantos Synth Museum at the National Music Center in Calgary..."

"2 Korg Volca Beats, 1 KaossPad Quad. The signals are split into four channels on the mixer (a Tascam DP24 Portastudio). Beats no. 1 left channel gets mid and high cut EQ, plus compression. Beats no. 1 right channel gets low cut EQ, plus compression and stereo delay effect, all from the DP24 mixer/recorder. Beats no. 2 is sent via the Korg KaossPad Quad, where it gets distortion and stereo delay, then low-cut EQ from the mixer. The Tascam DP24 mixes and records it all."
