Moving a few things around the studio.
Here's my Crumar Bit99 and the latest addition the DSi Prophet 12.

Today some cleanup... Starting from my #Crumar #Bit99. Italy, 1985, 6 voices #analog #polyphonic #synth, 2 dcos, 2 lfos, velocity, a creamy filter with a hard metallic resonance. Full midi support with the new firmware chips. The cracking faders need cleaning now and then.

An #ambient #live #improvisation (just playing with my #Prophet12 and my #Crumar #Bit99 +2 pedals) inspired by airport waiting time: that mental drift, when imagination starts travelling even if the plane still does not.

The Prophet wins the knob war 59-0 😀 they can't be more different on the user interface. However the bit99 has a very interesting sound, it can be smooth analogue or metallic, and I have knob controls with an external controller like here youtube.com/shorts/xZ_Ax...

I have a Crumar bit01 in the cupboard that isn't quite right. Not sure it's shit, but it's not a very high quality item. The "plus keyboard" version, the bit99 was mentioned by Graham Massey on Martyn Ware's podcast recently.
Or Aphex Twin mentions it...

Rare because its shit and doesn't work > even rarer because its still utterly unusable so people just throw them away > for gods sake won't someone take this thing off my hands for free! > Aphex Twin uses one > That'll be £500 please.
