"This vintage synth is in mint condition from what I can tell! All keys work well and the effects seem to also. There’s some noise but I know that is to be expected of these vintages synths.
It is speculated that only 100 of these were made, and that they were made by the legendary Bob Moog Himself."

Crumar Spirit (1983 NAMM Show / Time Capsule!) Fully Recapped w/ Original Packaging SN 00011

Curious if that's MOOGSPIRIT printed on the box below. It was designed by Bob Moog but the synth does not have his name on it, so it would be interesting if it was on the box. It could be MONO but what's left doesn't look like an N to me. If it is MOOG there's no space between it and SPIRIT. I believe this is the first post to feature the box.
Details from the listing:
"Not only is this a super rare synth (Serial number: 011) designed by Bob Moog, this particular unit was purchased new directly from the Crumar booth at the 1983 NAMM Show here in Chicago. The original buyer has kept it safely stored for the last 40 years, never used! Guaranteed you will NEVER find a cleaner example of this rare synthesizer.
Our service department have performed a fresh recap on this as the originals dried out after years of sitting in storage. The synth functions wonderfully, like new as you would imagine.
Includes the original box with evidence of being express shipped from Italy to the NAMM show. In addition to the original manual, warranty paperwork, cables and carrying case and pouch."

Crumar Spirit (Bob Moog designed)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Super Rare Bob Moog Designed Crumar Spirit Monosynth (the Italian Minimoog). Unique sounds, unique routings, excellent condition (minor marks, nothing major).
The Spirit synthesizer from Crumar was an analog synthesizer designed by Bob Moog, Jill Scott, and, Tom Rhea. It features 2 oscillators with basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves that can be synced together. The filter was highly regarded as well. the filter has low, high, and band-pass modes and is switchable between 12dB and 24dB slopes. Another plus is an independent envelope with key tracking. Other features are an external input, ring Modulator, and an arpeggiator with 3 patterns that could be synced with the LFO section."

Vintage Prototype Crumar Spirit Moog-Made Italian Analog Synth
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Rare, vintage Moog-Made Crumar Spirit in excellent working and cosmetic condition with original case. This is a prototype made for Crumar that never actually went into production. Depending on who you talk to, this is 1 of 100, or 1 of 200 units made. This is serial number 0078.
Designed by Bob Moog, Jim Scott & Tom Rhea and released back in 1983. The Spirit is similar to a 2 VCO MiniMoog, but is considerably more flexible. 37-note keyboard, and the 2 oscillators feature basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves and can be synced together.
The filter section features low, high, and band-pass filters and switchable 12dB or 24dB slopes. Other features of the filter include an independent envelope with inverted and normal ADSR, key tracking and single or multiple triggering of the filter. Some other features of the Spirit include a built-in ring-modulator, an Arpeggiator with 3 different patterns that can be linked to the LFO, and there's an external audio input for running external sounds through its filters, LFOs or Ring Mod.
24 knobs, 10 switches and 15 sliders. 3 performance wheels for controlling the Pitch, Mod-X and Shaper-Y modulation effects. The Arpeggiator features 3 modes: Ripple (Up/Down), Arpeggio (Up several octaves) and Leap (Goes up 1 and then 4 octaves)."

1978 Crumar Spirit SN B0 00432
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Crumar Spirit was originally designed by Bob Moog (himself), Jim Scott & Tom Rhea and released back in 1983. It is a full featured analog monophonic synthesizer with 2 VCO's so it's got a pretty fat tone, but not as much as the classic 3-VCO Minimoog. However it is considerably more flexible than the latter. It has a basic 37-note keyboard without velocity or aftertouch. The two oscillators feature basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves and can be synced together.
The filter section is very nice featuring low-, high- and band-pass filters and switchable 12dB or 24dB slopes. Other features of the filter include an independent envelope with inverted and normal ADSR, key tracking and single or multiple triggering of the filter. Some other features of the Spirit include a built-in ring-modulator, an Arpeggiator with 3 different patterns and that can be linked to the LFO, and there's an external audio input for running external sounds through its filters, LFOs or Ring Mod."

Crumar Spirit Synthesizer Designed By Bob Moog
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Here is an absolute killer!
If you ever wished for a Minimoog with a ton of modulation and routing, arpregiator, sample & hold, red noise, added overdrive, bandpass and high-pass to the filter as well as 12 or 24 dB slopes, a shaper matrix mixer, etc. Etc!-- then the ultra rare and amazing Spirit has to be experienced.
This unit is in very nice shape, tight and right. Just serviced to the tune of $640 at Electronic Innovations. 100% perfect operation, zero excuses. One mod- pitch bend in. Serial #42-- there were only a few hundred made and the number still out there in this exquisite condition has to be very low.
As for the sound, this is one of the most top tier pro sounding synths I've owned and I've owned a lot. I would place this beside the Minimoog, Prophet 5, CS50 and CS80-- units that sound so solid and healthy and pure that they are in an upper echelon."

1978 Crumar DS2 Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
I think the seller is mixing up the Crumar Spirit with the DS2. From the listing:
"Der letzte von Robert Moog in den späten 70er Jahren entwickelte Synthesizer."
"The last synthesizer developed by Robert Moog in the late 70's."
Moog worked on the Crumar Spirit from 1983.
via Wikipedia: "In 1978, Crumar released their first full-fledged synthesizer, the DS-2, which had one of the earliest digitally controlled oscillators (DCO).[2] Crumar synthesizers are comparable and contemporaneous to Moog synthesizers and other analog synthesizers; in fact, the Crumar Spirit synthesizer (1983) was designed by Bob Moog himself, along with Minimoog co-designer Jim Scott and Tom Rhea (who wrote Moog manuals)."

Crumar Spirit (1983 Bob Moog) - Vintage Synth - Fully Serviced SN 00032
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
If you are viewing this page I am sure you know what this thing is capable of. It was designed by Bob Moog and is quite literally one of the most powerful mono synths ever produced.
Lots and lots of modulation possibilities and filter options, to quote Sound On Sound “you’d be hard pressed to emulate its intricacies using a modular instrument”
It’s also an unbelievably rare piece of kit, somewhere in the region of 250 in existence.
Fully serviced and in excellent condition, just got it back from my technician today.
Things worth noting.
1. A couple of the original knobs are missing and were replaced by yellow ones by the previous owner. (Photo 6)
2. Wooden side panel has suffered a crack. My tech says it looks like somebody tightened the screws too tight and it was caused by the ensuing pressure. (Photo 9)
3. Scuffing to lower frame under keyboard and slight chip to underside of 1 key. (Photo 10)
4. Selling to cover a tax bill. Really regrettably. Always thought I would hold on to this forever.
5. There are some other light scuffs and scratches, which were very difficult to show in the photos.
6. I will NOT post this item. However I will deliver free of charge to any buyer in England or Wales. If you are outside of this area you will have to pick the item up yourself, in person. NO COURIERS."

Crumar Spirit 1983 Analog Synthesizer designed by Bob Moog SN 00085
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"#085 of 200 units ever made!! This is a special piece of analog synth history. One of the rarest most exotic monophonic synths ever made.
The Crumar Spirit was originally designed by Bob Moog (himself), Jim Scott & Tom Rhea and released back in 1983. It is a full featured analogsemi-modular monophonic synthesizer with 2 VCO's so it's got a pretty fat tone that is considerably more flexible than the Minimoog. It has a basic 37-note keyboard. The two oscillators feature basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves and can be synced together.
The filter section is very nice featuring low-, high- and band-pass filters and switchable 12dB or 24dB slopes.

Some other features of the Spirit include a built-in ring-modulator, an Arpeggiator with 3 different patterns and that can be linked to the LFO, and there's an external audio input for running external sounds through its filters, LFOs or Ring Mod.
For the hands-on approach, the Spirit is sure to please. There are 24 knobs, 10 switches and 15 sliders to start. There are 3 performance wheels for controlling the Pitch, Mod-X and Shaper-Y modulation effects (see LFO specs below). Using those with the Arpeggiator can get pretty wild. The Arpeggiator features 3 modes: Ripple (Up/Down), Arpeggio (Up several octaves) and Leap (Goes up 1 and then 4 octaves). There are also Auto and preset Glide modes for getting some elasticity or bending effects. Since all the LFOs, envelopes and filters are quite flexible you are sure to get some weird noises, fat basses, synths, etc. with the Spirit."
