Crumar BIT01

bit 01 is well equipped for the synthesis analogique.en spending time we arrive at its fins.entre modulations at all levels and different playing mode (split, dual mono, stereo, stacking waveform ) the result is quite underrated Italian synth surprenant.un a bygone era it was released in 85, who was snubbed as elka Synthex by purists synths americains.force is clear that these two synths (elka Synthex and bit 01/99) designed by an Italian engineer (Mario Maggi) held the road against the Oberheim and sequential circuit.
bit 01 has been very used to a bygone era to the disco synth italienne.un has formidable that knows how to use and spend time

UTILIZATION

and yes it is its use that bit 01 is pale in the face of synths riddled button surface.l encoding of parameters is done by two + and - keys. it's pretty compelling to Develop sounds on this machine . the price was related to user interface very rudimentaire.la rule was to produce modern synths, without putting the buttons for the sake of economy and aestheticism. a bit like the matrix 6 oberheim.la galley to program!
which made the charm of these synths, it was the audio cassette storage banks may seem tedious sons.ca was the era of the compact flash today but it is always nice to use and understand the bank that charge.j love it ca.c is very ludique.on dates back to prehistoric times to the sauvegarde.bin yes, but it reminds me of my youth.

SOUNDS

bit 01, although it lacks frontage on knobs, catches up to a fairly impressive range sound color sound is warm, thick, and the sounds stand out incredibly well in a low pas.les mix.ca not drool are very impressive, very tense and have a very large dynamique.ca akai ax73 reminds me that this kind of sound reproduction on basses.les tablecloths and filter sweeps are very finesse.c 's what I' love this synth, it is capable of outputting sounds very warm, loose, with a restitution fine of almost chirurgicale.mais for beautiful sounds we must spend the temps.on be discouraged rather quickly because of the user interface . a machine that is "rough around the edges" (envelopes very reactive style right in your face), who has the guts despite the presence of dco in place of vco on the section of the oscillators.
This synth sounds you shall grant a musicality that if you spend time.
stereo mode gives you a stereo image width has to fall from his chair, his breadth of stunning!
mono mode brings back the sound in a smaller cage where its a very nervous that he wants out of this cage.ca gives a lot of character to son.ca not be explained by mots.il must listen to understand
white noise sounds are really very beaux.je always do my bit 01 Appeals to the sounds of vent.il does it well and I do not get enough!
a synth that has pushed research sonore.c is at this level that we begin to appreciate it.

OVERALL OPINION

an Italian synth sounds attachant.ses very reminiscent of the elka Synthex, the largely has its filter like (not multi) but with the possibility of modulation moins.c 'is one of the best productions of electronic violin that italy have connue.un remain affordable synth that has faced his first cousin, the elka Synthex home.

This friendly Italian analogue rack is quite unusual: difficult to program, it will sound trs hot, powerful bass sounds live quite heavy. MIDI connectivity is minimal (no way of CONTRL by sysex filters, for example), the backup sounds can be made by sysex and is therefore external tape. There are 75 sounds in RAM, 25 + stacks of sounds (for split or layer). Polyphony is 6 voices, there is only one Stereo output pair.

UTILIZATION

This stuff is horrible programming: you have to like to spend an evening tapping away on tiny buttons clanking of the thing to realize how the music takes patience. But is your exact height of what you expect: sounds analog, warm, moving, heavy ...

SOUNDS

Trs, trs good sounds a little atypical, live, not always easy to place in a mix though. There are no effects in the Crumar Bit 01. To create a sound there's a good forty paramtres adjustable individually. Each sound is composed of up to 6 waveforms (sin, saw, square) superimposed, which can DCID octave. The sounds are then passed through a filter, assignable LFO and two ADSR in. Yesss ...

OVERALL OPINION

Since his memory to fail my 01 bit I miss him. Well then, have a true analog rack noon in his small home studio, it is often the most beautiful effect ...

Spartan rack, but all of the same quip (MIDI and all the rest). Aesthetics level, must love the diagrams. I like.

UTILIZATION

A program, is not really worse ... Addressing a numrique The argument for change, and + and -. APRS, with a little practice, more problem. It's as basic synthse trs, APRS all.
The manual is all that is sufficient for getting started, then you try to push your BCAN into a corner.

SOUNDS

Alrors, the hat! The sounds are original, hot, they do not dbordent in the mix, but some take place all the same. Good dynamics and timbre trs good of all. For electronic keyboards bizzarodes, tonal percussions, bass, bleeps. This machine is not everything, but far from the what it does, it does rev well! Gnrale a color that reminds me of the sounds of "The Man Machine", our friends dusseldorfiens.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this rack for some time, and he always finds a way to m'tonner. In addition, some opportunities are so cheap ... The report qualitprix a rack south of this quality is simply amazing.

MIDI Implementation rudimentary 6-voice polyphony, a pair of Stereo Output, MIDI IN & thru, 75 user memory split + one & one layer (two sounds)

UTILIZATION

edition sounds a little head-taking, but with the habit it's OK, srigraphie on the front not too much problem makes case for VCA, VCF, VCO, LFO by ACCS against all parameters with two tiny buttons "over & under" on the left of the rack cot (numro value of parameter + ..) a bit boring really.

SOUNDS

on the other hand in sound is not bad at all, good soft ground, although the low round effects Kosmik in gnral sounds warm to the ki konsakrera there some time, and he need to be able to tame the machine ..

OVERALL OPINION

I possde over a dcnnie and I can not get enough, it m'tonne Enkor few times when I go back to the caress, it gives me Enkor satisfaktion, I love .... and I am well on ...
