Crumar 2003 Analog Electric Organ and String Synthesizer

The instrument

After the Multiman, Crumar launched another combination with organ, synthesiser and string-brass ensemble in 1977: The Crumar 2001/2002/2003. They contains one full drawbar organ Hammond clone, a rather flexible one oscillator monosynth with band pass filtering, a complete Crumar Multiman, thus also adding paraphonic strings, brass sounds, electric piano and chlavichord, and even a Nerve Centre 15 drum and accompaniment section. It is possible that the Crumar Model 198 was a forerunner with somewhat simpler equipment.
