Holy Craaaaaaap, this synth is pure magic. Gosh it reminds me a little of the Korg Trident of how it feels like an whole orchestra of voices. Thanks for sharing this wonderful instrument.
I have quite a few Italian boards but this is probs my favourites. The layering and modulation that the Composer can do puts it firmly in the unique catorgory. Great to hear it played by someone who knows what they're doing!!!!!
Thank you Tim! yes..the Composer can express a wide palette of sounds...i love above all mixing the mono section with the organ section (which sounds amazing)... italian synths/string machines are unique
And they are becoming rarities also here in Italy...some of them are really hard to find and if you are lucky enough to find one..you have to pray that everything works..(many components and chips are out of production)😥🙏
@@Napalbe I almost bought one in my teenage years, that was in the eighties, but the owner asked a lot of money for it, so I had to find some cheaper sollution.
Questo è uno strumento meraviglioso. Recentemente in uscita gli ho applicato il VAmp della Behringer, escono dei suoni da paura. Peccato che siamo lontani, io ho praticamente tutti i Crumar e tutti i Korg degli anni 70-80. Straordinari strumenti.
@@Napalbe lo Spirit è l'unico che mi manca per via di prezzi esagerati, ma ho il DS2 che è mooooolto simile, essendo stato progettato con la collaborazione di Bob Moog 😊
Thank you mate! you're lucky...you have only to find the sweet pot beetween the 4 different sound sections..and you ll have pure magic..(organ section is wonderful)
@@stevecoscia Thank you Steve! Yeah this Crumar is an absolutely sounding beast...very versatile with its own character and modjo! It has a split keyboard if i remember well
Wow! This is truly amazing and inspiring. Your playing and the synth sounds beautiful! Is there any modern synths that you can recommend that can get close to these sounds? Thank you
Thank you a lot Ermez! I m thinking about...but unfortunately i cannot find a modern synth which can sounds similar to the Crumar Composer... its sonic behavior is unpredictable...also every Composer can sounds slightly different...because they are uniques..and were made in an artigianal way...no serial massive production as every modern instrument... i can suggest you if you want this sound..only vintage machines..italian ones like Crumar, Siel, Elka ecc..are awesome i can suggest you if you don t find the Composer (which is one of the rarest ones) to check the availability on the second hand market of Crumar Trilogy, Elka Twin, Siel Opera, Farfisa Soundmaker...
@@Napalbe Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions. I truly appreciate it. These Italian Synth's are truly amazing and i hope to play one some day :]
How would you think of Composer when compared to Elka Twin 61? Are they entirely different things? I have Elka already and just found Composer in a very nice condition. I see the solo section seems very expressive and that touch vibrato is really cool. Elka has only presets but I find its strings sound better than Composer. Then again Composer seems to have an amazing organ section.
You ve already replied to your question...🙃 exactly...strings sound a lot better on the Elka...but the organ sound and mono section of the Composer is better... they are however very different machines for me... the Elka Twin with its onboard phaser, and other fx modulations, can do a lot more sonic explorations for me
Really nice, although I think your skills are the showcased thing - not the synth so much. I wonder what you’d do with an SK30, they seem very similar.
Thank you a lot Midera! Really..believe me...i played a lot of synths..and not for a national bias/pride..😅 but..the italian ones sound so unique..they inspire much more the player!
My SK30 sounds very different. Combined with the right effects it's a beast but it hasn't all these enchanting smokey vocal sounds like the Crumar has. Would like to have one, the Italian synths have always a musical magic.
@@mikedelicus totally agree melo..i had the sk30 and it s not comparable to the Composer..both in wide sound palette you can create with the crumar..then for the sound...yes..italian synths sound unique...
Ahahaha...yes..modern synths are full of everything but they can t sound unique and wonderful like these italian vintage synths..also a simple sawtooth compared to a modern synth, sounds alive and magic...
Magic?🙄 Oh brother. You vintage synth guys are as silly as vintage guitar guys. Hey if you're creating sh*t music, it's probably not the synth or guitar or effect or anything other than lack of creativity.👍
They are so rare that there hasn't even been made a VSTi simulating it. 🤔 Multiman and Performer can be found as virtual clones, but afaik NOT the Composer.
Holy Craaaaaaap, this synth is pure magic. Gosh it reminds me a little of the Korg Trident of how it feels like an whole orchestra of voices. Thanks for sharing this wonderful instrument.
Thank you mate! yes..the Crumar Composer is the italian Trident! it has a rich and unique sound palette..
I think vintage Italian synths are totally underrated, I wish there were more available.
Absolutely agree with you
🙌
That plantasia one was unbelievable - feel like i woke up in a ps1 jrpg dream world. Awesome video.
ahahah..love Ps or Nintendo jrpg worlds!! thank you mate

italian synths/string machines are unique
There is a kind of quirkiness with Italian synths that sets them apart.
Italian synthesizers have such charming personalities. I wish we had more of them in the states.
And they are becoming rarities also here in Italy...some of them are really hard to find and if you are lucky enough to find one..you have to pray that everything works..(many components and chips are out of production)😥🙏
Great performance on this gem synth!
Thank you Waldemar! 🙏😊
Excellent sounds, good demonstration! Fascinating voices, even for today standards.
Thank you!
yes the Crumar Composer can sounds modern and vintage at the same time...unique sounding synth
@@Napalbe I almost bought one in my teenage years, that was in the eighties, but the owner asked a lot of money for it, so I had to find some cheaper sollution.
amazing sounds! beautifully played.
Thank you 🙏 and thanks to the Crumar Composer🙃
Amazing sounds here! Demos of this caliber are always a treat. With basically any synths!
Thank you mate 🙏🎹❤️ but these rare sounding machines (the italian ones above all) are important cause inspire the player!
What a killer demo and player you are!! Well done ❤😍
Thsnk you a lot Peter! really appreciate🙏🤗
You seem to have an amazing collection of rare vintage keyboards! Another beautiful demo!
Yeah..i m lucky to live in the Marche Region of Italy..the place where these amazing keyboards were made in the 70-80'!
thanks mate 🙏
Beauty sounds.

non dirmi che hai anche lo Spirit della Crumar?quello è meraviglioso
@@Napalbe lo Spirit è l'unico che mi manca per via di prezzi esagerati, ma ho il DS2 che è mooooolto simile, essendo stato progettato con la collaborazione di Bob Moog 😊
@@stefanoquacquarini7621 Il Ds2 anche gran bella macchina!!
@@Napalbe la acquistai direttamente in fabbrica quando ormai la Crumar era in gravi difficoltà, e dopo 40 anni funziona ancora perfettamente.
Excellent demo! I have this machine too, but it never sounded like yours (probably problem with my hands 🙂).
Thank you mate!
you're lucky...you have only to find the sweet pot beetween the 4 different sound sections..and you ll have pure magic..(organ section is wonderful)
grande!
😊🙏
beautiful!
thanks Daniel..thanks to the Composer 🙃
Italian synthesizers are much underrated
@@andrewcoates4952 yes Indeed...
but now people who s looking for un unheard beautiful sound knows their value...
AMAZING demo! Cheers!
Thank you a lot 🙏🎹❤️
Yeah! Bellissimo!
bella Maa..n abbraccione 🙏🤗
Very very much Tuxedomoon
Clouds lullaby sounds like the synth on music for plant lp
complimenti!!! gran bella Demo! ;)
Grazieee mille!! 🙏il Composer é una macchina meravigliosa...
stupendissima davvero!!
Omg this is so good!
Thank you! Crumar Power! 🙏🙃🤜🎹
Dope!
Sounds real good, terrific playing too. Nice variety of sounds. Was there a split keyboard feature?
@@stevecoscia Thank you Steve! Yeah this Crumar is an absolutely sounding beast...very versatile with its own character and modjo! It has a split keyboard if i remember well

I got a question...is it any effects added here....?
in some patches no..in some just a little bit of reverb or delay
a splash of Plantasia
😁😜💚
Wowwwww............🤤
😄🙏🥰
How many patches does this come with?
3 presets for the Poly section, 7 presets for the Mono Section...
but i used most mine custom patches
cheers

Ahahahahah 😆
@@Napalbe I totally put this comment on the wrong post video lol
Neat-o
🙏🎹✨️
What verb did you put it through, sounds lovely 😊
Oto Bam reverb 😶🌫️🙃
That is the dog’s dangly bits.

Yes...exactly mate...and it is so also for other italian forgotten synths...🧐👽🎹💜
It's just me or it sounds like nothing else?
We suffer from the same sound hallucinations ! 🙃🤪 (yes indeed..)
