Cherry Audio Crumar Spirit

The Mystical Italian Classic Reimagined

Crumar Spirit by Cherry Audio is a meticulously crafted virtual recreation that captures the unique and captivating features of the exceptional analog monosynth from 1983, originally designed by some of the most legendary figures in the synth industry. In collaboration with Crumar, Cherry Audio has reopened a time capsule to revive this Italian cult classic and thoughtfully elevated it with their signature style.

Spirit Features

Features

• Based on the original synthesizer and circuit designs of Robert A. Moog, Tom Rhea, Jim Scott, and Crumar's Sante Crucianelli
• Spirit has been significantly enhanced with expanded functionality and modulation options
• Monophonic, unison, polyphonic (4, 8, or 16 voices), and cycle voice modes
• Multi voice modes for unison, poly, and cycle that add per-note variation by adding three additional "mini synth" panels, each with their own pitch, pan, filter frequency, VCA Envelope Attack, and VCA Envelope Release settings
• Quick-access multi-voice panel presets such as Hard Panned, Slightly Detuned, Well Worn, and more to simulate subtle or extreme variations between voices
• Over 430 professionally designed presets in a dozen categories
• Two oscillators with master tune, octave, waveshape, and oscillator sync
• Oscillator B features modes to create a fixed frequency in two ranges – Bass and Wide – for drones, audio-rate modulation, or an additional LFO
• Dedicated Upper low pass filter and multimode Lower filter
• Flexible filter section with keyboard tracking, a fixed formant option for the Lower filter (to add vocal-like color), and low pass slope options
• Two ADSR envelopes with velocity for filter and amp
• Extensive modulation options in Mod X and Shaper Y sections, each routable to dedicated mod wheels
• Mod X modulation sources: Triangle, Square, Random (Sample & Hold), Shaper Y, Red Noise, Oscillator B. Sync or retrig

• Two independent mixers and signal paths for Shaper Y and Filter/ADSR with independent outputs
• Glide and pitch bend controls
• Dynamic arpeggiator with three modes – Ripple, Arp, and Leap – with Swing, Chance, and Feel to add degrees of randomness to arpeggiated patterns
