@8bitgames@oldbytes.space my pleasure! BTW I realized that you have a YouTube music channel. I love your studio! I'm typing this toot on my Macbook that is on top of a Crumar Bit 99, sitting next to an Amiga 500. Other Commodore computers are next, just under a 3D printer 😅

The most prominent instrument in the piece is of course the #Crumar #BIT99, the drum machine is the #Arturia Drumbrute Impact. There is a sound effect from the #GEM #S2 and a note from an #Emu #Proteus/2 (quite a famous one, by the way).

I wrote a new piece of music! This time is called Chasing Auroras and it is an atmospheric piece meant for background and relaxation. It is featuring very prominently the sounds produced by the #Crumar #BIT99 #polysynth.

I updated the tool I wrote so that it can directly communicate with the #Crumar #BIT99 via #MIDI sysex. It can download a single patch or all the 1-99 patches of the instrument. It is a console program written in C for macOS, as I don't have the time to write a full-fledged window-based user interface, but I tried to keep it nice to use nonetheless. #synth #sysex #music

I wrote a small tool in C to interpret the #SYSEX files for the #Crumar #BIT99 and #BIT01. It's handy as you can inspect how a certain patch is configured (DCO1 and 2, VCF, LFO1 and 2 etc). I even found an error in the BIT99 manual: the bit order of certain parameters is reversed! The little tool is still quite rough around the edges, but it begins to work.

I tried to do some sound design on the #Crumar #Bit99 and got some interesting string patches with long attack and release. I tried to improvise some chords on a dorian-like context with the #Arturia Drumbrute Impact drum machine. The result is creamy and atmospheric, I hope you'll enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMGrjNyKKN8 #indiemusic #polysynth #analog #mastoart

@eg0n@corteximplant.com I was searching specifically for an analog polysynth that had good sound, at least 6 voices and a decent MIDI support. The Juno 106 was way too expensive. Then, I was ill for some weeks and I had time to pass while I was in bed, so I fell into the rabbit hole of relatively obscure Italian synths. I found very interesting the Elka EK22, but the offers were too expensive (probably because of the Synthex). So I searched other producers and Crumar was an obvious choice.

@eg0n@corteximplant.com I played it in my spare time for a week and it is truly amazing! I love it. The interface is quite simple and the schematic with the legend of the different parameters helps. However you can not change them live. Apparently there’s a new version of the firmware that makes them accessible via MIDI CC. The BIT did not have a lot of success at the time and this probably explains why it is not outrageously expensive now.

@f_dion@mastodon.online I’ve used it for a week and it is really amazing! I could have it for a very reasonable price, probably because it’s not very well-known and it hasn’t been very successful in 1985. With some external effects the sound is incredible. I will certainly use it in my music!

@synx508@bsd.network I read that there’s an alternative firmware available that greatly improves MIDI implementation to control sound parameters. Maybe it’s worth trying. In any case it’s a beautiful synth and the keyboard is really good. Probably better than my current master keyboard 🥰

I drove for 500km to pick it up, but it was well worth. Look at this beautiful analog Italian #polysynth 😍 A #Crumar #Bit99. With 6 voices, it is capable of beautiful warm pads and punchy bass sounds. I utterly love it. It is relatively obscure, but my gosh what SOUND you can get from it! The filters are just amazing! Made in Castelfidardo! #synth
