Hollow Sun – Crumar Performer

Hollow Sun – Crumar Performer KONTAKT | 5 MB

The humble Crumar Performer was a much underrated string synth. Italian manufacturer, Crumar (named after the company’s founder, Mario Crucianelli), produced some truly great products in their time but sadly they never made the impact they deserved (possibly because Crumar also made some real lemons which soured the manufacturer’s reputation somewhat).

Crumar brought good sounding synths at affordable prices – they gave us the Bit 01 synth (and its derivatives), one of the first affordable dual oscillator polysynths and their ‘Organiser’ series of organs weren’t too shabby either. They even had the venerable Bob Moog involved in the design of their ‘Spirit’ synth!

One of the other products they made was the Crumar Performer, a versatile string synthesiser released in 1979 that was as good as any of its more famous rivals at a fraction of the price. Seriously!!

An offshoot of their ‘Multiman’, the Performer was a string synth first and foremost but it also included a ‘brass’ section. This was actually not bad for very simple polysynth sounds at the time but no substitute for a real polysynth being a single oscillator job with a fairly weak filter and it bypassed the chorus/ensemble unit so it wasn’t possible to beef it up. But you could use the LFO for some rudimentary filter sweeps and it had its uses in extremis.
