Hi. Does anybody know where I can get schematics for either the Orchestrator or the Performer? I had them repaired in a shop here (Mexico), but I don't think they did a good job: the keys that were not functioning do work (i guess they only needed cleaning), but the filters are even more messed up. Hope someone can help. Cheers! -PedroC. http://www.nerv.com.mx

Hi PedroC ! You can find schematics for the Orchestrator (actually Multiman-S) in our group's files section. The synths are the same, only the name is different. I have uploaded these schematics to the files section just recently. I hope that it will help. Jack --- In crumar@yahoogroups.com, "pedroc_diaz" <pedroc_diaz@...> wrote:

Hi, Jack! Thank you very much for the file! I'll start to check the Orchestrator on sunday, hope the hard-to-find components are not involved in the malfunction.

Does anyone of you (experts) know if there's a substantial difference between the Performer, and the Orchestrator (Multiman-S), especially in regard to be strings section? Thanks. --- In crumar@yahoogroups.com, "pedroc_diaz" <pedroc_diaz@...> wrote:

Thanks for your answer. Do you mean you are sure - or just think? - the string section of the Performer is totally different, compared to (f.e.) the Orchestrator/Multiman-S? Do you - or anyone else here- maybe also know if the strings sound of all - or just some - Crumar synthesizers is the same as that of the Stringman? TALKDEMONIC wrote:

Hi
First, you can vacuum inside all the case with a hoover and a brush ( carefull with the connexions and solderings) and then clean up circuits with a special liquid in aerosol... ( in France, it's call 'diélectrique') You spray it on the circuits and it's eats the dust.
Regards.
Benjamin

Of course you can. But before, I think air presure will move away the bulk of the dust....
P.S: I'm looking for a CRUMAR COMPACSYNTH and will answer all suggestions.

2006-07-22 by diego maps
wow your the first one i've met who has a Ds-2 too, where did you buy it?
I'm from the philippines by the way, I bought mine through a thrift store.
I'm thinking of selling mine though, because its hard to gig and I'm
considering buying another synth. but i'm really having a hard time to let
it go! If ever, would you let go of yours? (sounds like a dramatic question
ey? hehe)
mine seems to work fine except that it sounds dirty, that's why I'm posting
about the cleaning stuff.
synth fan,
diego

don't use cleaner with oil and alcohol, use the one with alcohol only or you can throw away your pots a few weeks after "cleaning" cheers , sunny

Hi, there. If you are going to sell your DS-2, please let me know. I used to have a DS-2 and now have a DS-1. I miss the extra features of the DS-2 and would definitely be interested. - Andrew

i had one, bought anotherone cheap for spareparts but had it repaired, so now i've two. to be short: don't sell it too easily, you might seriuosly regret it. it sound great and is so easy to twist around live ( oke no memories, but all those knobs , that great layout etc etc.) just my five cents i guess. greetings , sunny
