RE: [crumar] Digest Number 382

2005-11-28 by Jean-Francois Verreault

It might be possible (and would be very nice, actually) but I don't know of
any model that combines organ and strings. There is a _synth_ section on the
T1 organ (for bass register only), and I've seen another Crumar organ (don't
know which model, though, it was a two manual one) in a flea market once
that didn't have a string section.

On a related note, I think the Crumar strings are WAY underrated. I don't
own any Arp/Solina string synths, but I have tried some, and nothing beats
my Crumar Performer. The attack and decay envelopes crossfade in such an
incredible way on the Performer, plus the strings are a bit dirty and rough
sounding -- heaven!

Thanks for that information.

However, I actually merely would like to know if all, or some of the 
Crumar organs - apart from the Crumar synthesizers - also have an 
integrated strings section (that produces sounds like the Crumar 
Stringman).

I think such a feature is not unlikely, since I know that (at least 
some) Eminent organs, for example, have the Solina Strings Ensemble 
built-in.
