Crumar | Stringman

Description

At that time StringMan achieved a respectable success due mainly to the fact that it was made more complete and modern than the "Compac-String" progenitor. In fact, the polyphony of the instrument, which is complete, allows the execution of polyphonic lines. The machine is equipped with a 61-key keyboard, a 6-switch control knob and 8 potentiometers, and an expression pedal. The instruments selectable individually or together with the switches are: violin, cello and double bass. The set functions relate to the effects of "vibrato" + "modulations chorus" and the filter timbre. There is also a manual control for the "sustain" and a volume dedicated to sound coming from the first two octave of the keyboard. In the back of the mobile there is a further potentiometer for the general tuning.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
