Tom from Synth Anatomy check's out Crumar Spirit with a set of performances of some of it's 430+ presets to accompany the online review on his website.
"With the Crumar Spirit, Cherry Audio has created another great-sounding emulation of a vintage synth," he writes. "Special praise goes to the developers for also creating emulations of synths that are less well-known and tend to fly under the radar.
The extra features that the developers added to the virtual version make sense and do not detract from the original charm. I can’t vouch for how accurate or authentic the virtual Crumar Spirit sounds. The synth is too rare for that. My sound assessment is based on online sound demos, and in comparison, the plugin reminds me of those sounds in many places.
Cherry Audio offers a cost-effective option for anyone who wants to dive into the Crumar Spirit’s original workflow and lovely “weird” charm."
Cherry Audio has today released Crumar Spirit, an emulation of the Crumar Spirit analog Synthesizer from 1983.The Crumar Spirit was developed by none other than the legend Bob Moog, as well as Jim Scott and Tom Rhea. To celebrate Bob Moog Appreciation Month, Cherry Audio has teamed up with Crumar to release a Spirit emulation. Cherry Audio's Crumar Spirit not only emulates the original feature, it also introduces many new features, including fully polyphony, polyphonic aftertouch support, and more.
