Hi,

if I'm correct the Crumar Orchestrator is using an ensemble circuit with 3 
BBD chips to generate the chorus effect on the strings. I suspect that 
something is wrong in this effect circuit that causes the strange behaviour. 
Check the power supply and the wiring. Perhaps a wire got loose? Or perhaps 
the power supply is unstable resulting in chips that fail. With almost any 
old synth I get my hands on i replace the big power supply capacitors to 
make sure that power regulating is alright.

Greetings,

Rutger
