| has gloss | eng: Crumar is an Italian company which manufactured synthesizers and keyboards in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Its name is taken from that of its founder, Mario Crucianelli. Crumar started out manufacturing electric pianos and string synthesizers, famous with the names of compac-piano, compac-string and then pianoman and stringman combining the two in 1975 with the Multiman and in 1977 with the Multiman-s. Crumar factory is also known for good "hammond-clones" made in the 60s & 70s like the Organizer, Organizer T1 and T1/C, T2, T3, Organizer - B, Cougar and for some synthesizers with innovative features like Digital controller oscillators for example the DS-2. Crumar synthesizers are comparable and contemporaneous to Moog synthesizers and other analog synthesizers. In fact, Crumars Spirit synthesizer was originally designed by Bob Moog himself, along with Jim Scott & Tom Rhea. In 1983, they started producing digital synthesizers under the name of Bit, which were marketed in the US under the name Unique. |
