Univox | Compac-Piano

Description

Crumar entered the keyboard market with the Compac-piano. A portable electric piano that was used by many players. It helped sparked the idea of strapping a keyboard on like a guitarist. Later models would be updated with the name Compac-piano 2. The models were licensed by Univox in the States and carried the name Univox instead of Crumar.

The instrument was a very good sounding simple Electric Piano and Clavinova with 3 sliders for sound shaping and a built in phaser for the prominent 1970's sounds.

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.
