Yeah I guess the compacsynth is pretty cool. Haven't seen one for sale
that I can recall. Pretty rare.  I got another rare one the other day
I'm going to p/u in colorado.  Crumar Composer.  The machine was built
apparently right after the Trilogy but still pre-midi.  I'm hoping
it's full of curtis chips too :-).  I like the Trilogy for certain
sounds but of all the crumar's I have I think it's about my least
favorite for it's size/investment.  Maybe it's just the way the
filters are on this one and some caps need replacing or something
..but the strings stink on it in my opinion!  Nothing like the
performer's depth.  The siel orchestrator/sci prelude on the other
hand is a lot like the sounds of the performer and they use similar
technology with the tda1008 dividers etc.  Anyway the organ is simple
but ok on the trilogy for what it is... and the filters of course
sound great and the sounds that are useful tend to center around that
aspect and certain sync voicings or interval playing.  Hoping maybe
they did some things with the composer to lend to a little more
flexibility. We'll see! 

The DS series is great for what it is.  The Bit series also.  I really
wonder what the shortcoming is w/ my trilogy's strings.  Seems
bizarre. -Bob
