| Notes | Crumar Performer, a versatile string synthesiser released in 1979 that was as good as any of its more famous rivals at a fraction of the price. Seriously!!
An offshoot of their 'Multiman', the Performer was a string synth first and foremost but it also included a 'brass' section. This was actually not bad for very simple polysynth sounds at the time but no substitute for a real polysynth being a single oscillator job with a fairly weak filter and it bypassed the chorus/ensemble unit so it wasn't possible to beef it up. But you could use the LFO for some rudimentary filter sweeps and it had its uses in extremis.
However, unusually, the Performer had a raw audio out and a trigger out which was quite something at the time... |
