UTILIZATION

The name means DS (digitally controlled osc.) Digital synthesizer or digital synthesizing is done on the synthesizer alleged history with two analog oscillators whose frequency is monitored by a digital circuit rule, (COD).
The setting works exactly is digital signals from both oscillators can be perfectly summed.

The Crumar Duo is therefore part mono sound is a section of 44 voice polyphony for strings.
Section Polyphonic be slightly modulated by the LFO and routing and can filter by mono.
The editions of sounds, routing and modulation is very pleasant thanks to their large number of quality switches.
The ergonomics of the machine is really excellent.



SOUNDS

Two LFOs are really terribly effective and the VCF is a killing machine!
The bass and sound effects well organic and powerful.
The sound is fat, and give you an idea of ​​his bin he just stand up to moog.
All sounds very realistic, lively and deep.



OVERALL OPINION

With the Crumar DS2, we acquired an impressive machine sounds innovative time, the first with COD's, the elements are mostly high quality and achievement is well ahead of its time.

Sound hot type, very organic, is very powerful in the bass and effects.
Due to the weight of dinosaur sounds (over 30kg) a disability can.
The wearer to repeat this recall, but it's still a big gun that sounds good.
