New to group introduction

2007-01-30 by Robert Weigel

Hi, I'm Bob Weigel.  I've been a fan of crumar stuff for some time.  I
vaguely recall something at my school and hearing it briefly I think
(I graduated in '78 from HS).  I'm a composer/electronic musician now
and work on a lot of music gear for to support my habit :-).  From
Crumar, I own a good number of working things.  Starting with a 50
dollar Performer I resurrected to life again (could use some original
knobs for it...) and oh what next.  I wound up with a DS-1 (only a
hundred and some of those made perhaps?  Anyone have production
numbers and MSR pricing?  I'd love to add that data to my
comprehensive synth technical help page at www.imt.net/~sounddoctorin.
 I have many parts availabe including keys for quite a few things
though crumars...not so much BUT..the site has a 'key guide' to show
what other synths are compatable and points to syntaur in this case
who does stock some keys that fit Bit One, etc.)  and a Bit One....and
a Trilogy.  Hmm..what else.  Well I love the sound of the trilogy
synth section and a lot of things the DS-1 does and the Bit One.  ANd
of course performer strings are awesome :-).  Hoping to someday find a
spirit at a garage sale for 30 bucks. hehe.  Heard of 'pie in the
sky'...that's 'spirit in the sky' I guess.

Oh there are some good tech hints on my page and you'll want to visit
if you own any of these instruments I've worked on.  The DS-1 for
example had an annoying oversight at least on the one I own which
would cause a bizarre intermittent gradual drift between oscillator
waveforms. -Bob
