Crumar Performer – emulation of the polyphonic synthesizer Performer.
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 !!
