Not the best shots, but you don't see these often.

"Only 100 made in the world in the 1980's .This synth is number 43. Kept in a smoke free environment and never taken on stage.

If you are here, you probably already know the history on this Rare Crumar Spirit .The Spirit is one of the most complex, challenging, and - above all - powerful monosynths ever produced. . Sounds amazing- aggressive & fat. Everything works great. This one is a gem. The Crumar Spirit was originally designed by Bob Moog( himself), Jim Scott & Tom Rhea and released back in 1983. It has a 37 note keboard with 2 vco's.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.

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. This is a synth that rewards patience, experience, and a lot of thought rather than aimless knob twiddling. But once you've mastered it, all the classic analogue timbres are at your fingertips: warmth, smoothness, grittiness, and screaming analogue pain, all produced with depth, expression, and as much complexity as you could ever desire."

Crumar Spirit

via this auction

"OK, by now, everyone knows the Crumar Spirit was designed by some of the Moog folks, namely Dr Moog, Tom Rhea, and Jim Scott. What's never been explained is how or why. That's where I come in. This is how it might have happened...

Let's first set the stage.

The year is 1982. The monophonic Prodigy and Rogue were still in production. Moog's attempt at a less-knobby synth (the Source) had been released the year before. The powerful but problematic MemoryMoog had finally started to ship and everyone involved really needed a break because of all the problems. New development had temporarily ground to a halt as all hands came on board to salvage the MemoryMoog effort.

During this time, the Rhodes Chroma had also recently been released.

Three Moog folks - Dr Moog, Tom Rhea, and Jim Scott decided to take a short holiday overseas to unwind and reset. They chose Italy as their destination and set off on their trip.


Meanwhile...
In Italy, Crumar had the DS-2 and Performer synths out there. They had also teamed up with a New York based firm to create the GDS and Synergy but they were having as many problems with them as Moog and ARP did with their recent polysynths.

So, the three Moog employees are in Italy, touring around and checking out the local culture. A chance meeting with Mario Crucianelli kickstarts an idea for a new synth. Moog as a company is stretched too thin and is too worn out to take on any new R&D. Dr. Moog and friends discuss features that they'd like to see. Since this isn't going to be branded as a Moog, there is some more freedom to borrow ideas from other synths and to vary from the traditional Moog designs. They have had good luck with the CEM 3340 and 3360 ICs in the MemoryMoog and the Chroma was using the 3350 VCF to create some unusual routings and new sounds. Rather than worry about licensing a Moog filter for this product, the team decided to go off on a new track and try a pair of 3350's and provide separate control over each filter chip.

The idea for a monosynth that could sound traditional or radically modern was born and the Spirit is the result.

Well, that's how it might have happened...

Let's get back around to the auction now.
I have a Crumar Spirit, serial # 62, that's been cleaned and calibrated. In addition to the synth (110 volts) and power cord, I'm including the owner's manual and schematics. In addition, I sketched out the trimpot locations and names for the VCO board to make future calibrations easier. As an added bonus (I'm all about giving you guys bonuses), I'm including 2 CEM 3340 VCO ICs, 1 CEM 3350 filter IC, and 2 CEM 3360 VCA ICs. So you'll never have to worry about CEMs again."

1978 Crumar DS2 Synthesizer

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)."

The Spirit is a treasure trove of desirable synth chips, with a pair of CEM3340 oscillators, a pair of CEM3350 Dual VCFs, and no fewer than six CEM3360 Dual VCAs. If this means little to you, I should point out that the 3340 provided the voicing for the Moog Memorymoog, the Oberheim OBXa, OBSX and OB8, the Roland SH101, MC202 and Jupiter 6, early revisions of the Roland MKS80 Super Jupiter, the Rev.3.x Prophet 5s, all Prophet 10s, the T8, the Pro One and the Prophet 600. 3360 VCAs were used in a huge range of instruments, including the Ensoniq ESQ1 and SQ80, the Linndrum, the Memorymoog, numerous Oberheims, the PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3, the Chroma, the Jupiter 6 and MKS80, and some of the Prophets. The Spirit shares its architecture with the very best. GOOD LUCK!

Googlish translation from German:

"Aka Crumar BIT ONE BIT 99/01 or fall into this category.

Crumar Bit-99 Synthesizer

Perhaps brightens the mind of some ne "Oh, do not Crumar !!!"- thinkers on something, when the name Mario Maggi. All well known as a highly respected "father" of the Elka Synthex has Maggi also Crumar BIT-designed series. So it's no wonder if some ingenious features such as the (random) Stereo mode can be found in the BITs to. Other things - such as for example the high standard of customer Synthex hardware - it looks around the BITs, however vainly, too, is correct.

Crumar BIT aka ...
wanted the MIDI era begin in a new guise. Although the Crumar Spirit had track record dating from 1983 has a MIDI-bore labels including, but even for MIDI, it has not served there. Thus, there is no Crumar synth, the (factory-equipped) via said interface. With the introduction of the first MIDI keyboard Crumar changed his (official) name in BIT (probably to get away to the professional musicians from the camp Orgel-/Multikeyboard-Image). Hence ONE BIT, BIT 01 BIT 99; Sometimes these instruments may also carry other designations such as "Unique", or LEM, but everything "would be clear and simple," would not be so Italian. The unique instruments were sold under the said name in the U.S. ... e.g. Unique DBE (E for expander) = BIT 01 And after Crumar in the late 80s, first bought by LEM (and later by the same alias General Music has taken over GEM), produced one still on for some months, the BIT instruments under LEM name. Thus, there are so many name-names for one and the same instruments. Has begun the story with the ...

ONE BIT
The first device in the series corresponds in principle in terms of sound architecture all other BIT variations. In a row - alongside key MIDI enhancements and a few other details - sound not changed much. ONE of the BIT is a 6-voice analog synthesizer based on DCO. In 1984, placed on the market instrument is voice 2 DCOs per track record, 2 LFO, 1 VCF, 1 VCA and 2 ENVS. Thus, the BIT ONE (and, since as I said hardly any structural changes, including the entire family BIT) in about a Juno-60/-106 Roland, Roland JX-8P, Matrix-6, Siel Opera-6 / kiwi Korg DW-6000/-8000 equivalent. Of course, only "roughly". Of the extensive modulation possibilities for the Oberheim Matrix starting, we just want to venture no comparison, and the 16 wave forms of a DW-8000 can not be here "to be thrown into one package." But enforcing it is true about the direction, which is now in that environment, Crumar BIT alias in the mid-80s to be out in the market against similar "hybrid" or "late-analog" synthesizers had.

With the ONE BIT was originally a race win. The coward was called "MIDI" and was the first BIT to a severe test. The instrument worked ausschließich the Omni-on mode (there are note-to receive all incoming data - MIDI channels, there was, as far as my memory is still not ...) and comprehensive MIDI-hangers and other childhood diseases were not uncommon. Just one year later - 1985 - came ...

BIT 99
on the market. The instrument had better MIDI capabilities (and in general: more reliable MIDI), provided a sound chain function and other small changes. TWO ONE BIT of good things, however, were left out: The placed on the front panel fader to the detuning (de-tuning) of DCO 2 and the noise had the fader knob to set the soft-velocity sensitivity."
