"Today we take a look at the Crumar Multiman-S, an Italian string synthesizer from 1977.

We also look at the concept of a string synthesizer in general; an instrument that served as a stop gap, but that forged its own identity due the distinctive sound and the records they were used in.

Originally conceived by Ken Freeman, others saw the impending gold rush and got their instruments out. When I say there was a 'string synth heyday', I'm not exaggerating. Here's a list of just some of them:

Crumar Performer with octave slider plus sustain options!

Published on Aug 1, 2015 sounddoctorin

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com shows a tech brief and demo of his latest modification. The last Crumar Performer version I have used the SSM2040 vcf and a SSM2056 eg in place of the moog vcf and discrete eg. with it's quirky interactive behavior used in the original units. The last version also adds an octave switch.

As it turns out barely over an octave can be achieved at the summing node for pitch without causing oscillations to cease for whatever reason I discovered, as I installed a slider instead of a switch in this unit giving a lovely contiguous transition of pitch for 1 octave. Provided you don't retune it with the tuning pot on back :-). There is a requirement to readjust the trim pot I installed if you do that. But as long as you keep it on A440 it's a nice octave. SEE MY PREVIOUS video on the performer mod to see details of how to give yourself four modes of operation with regard to sustain and crescendos."

CRUMAR PERFORMER String Machine 1979 | HD DEMO

Published on Mar 3, 2019 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2019 by AnalogAudio1

Demo of the string machine / analog synthesizer CRUMAR PERFORMER from 1979. I played it along with a Korg SDD-3000 delay (right channel only). In the intro it was played through a Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phase shifter and a Korg SDD-3000.

This Crumar Multiman is the newer version (B) with the softer (SSM) filter, which I prefer. The earlier version A has a ladder filter. But the difference in sound is not that big like you might think. Anyway, a great string machine with big sounds, but easy to carry around. Used by Duran Duran on 'Girls on film'."

Crumar Performer 70's String & Brass Synthesizer Demo

"This is a Demonstration of my Crumar Performer. Its the pure sound of this Synthesizer - no extern effect etc. was used!"

Crumar Performer

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. Note the sample in the details below.

Details:
"I made a little demo for some friends of mine a little while ago. The game was "guess which synth", and here is only the Crumar playing. I used a little reverb and delay to make it sparkle a little- but this is the actual unit. The short amateur soundclip can be found at [link]. This synth is of course "just" a string machine, but it also has a very pleasing brass sound. There are several selectable options to alter both, although that demo did not really show much of that. However, here is another demo that was used to promote the synth when it came out: [link]. Also included is the original protective carry case."

I wonder what the case looked like.
