Univox Stringman

2005-07-24 by octogonaltar

Hello all,

I recently found, on a street corner four block from where I live, a 
battered Univox Stringman synth. It's basically a Crumar in 
disguise, all the boards are labelled crumar and it sound very 
similar (although not as good) as my crumar Performer. I'm trying to 
bring it back to full working condition, so I'm looking for any 
resources that could help me.

Does anyone know which Crumar model is closest to this one, and if 
schematics are available for either the Crumar or Univox version?

Here are the tabs:

"string section" 

contra bass (first 17 notes only, monophonic bass)
cello
violin

"modulators"

vibrato on/off
vibrato delay
chorus

"timbre"

mellow
medium 
bright

The sliders are:

bass volume
master volume
vibrato speed
vibrato depth
sustain

--

It sound pretty good (with the chorus on especially); I only wish it 
had an attack slider like the performer....

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with information 
about this keyboard.
