#bit99 — Public Fediverse posts

The #Crumar #Bit99 is by far one of the most pleasant to service electronic equipments I have ever seen. You remove a few screws and you can fully open the instrument using the hinges 😍 The full schematics were given along with the instrument. The repairability score is off charts, here 😊 As an electronics enthusiast, I love this #synth! 🥰

I created a new music video for Chasing Auroras!
I hope you will like it! You can see very prominently the #BIT99 synthesizer.

The most prominent instrument in the piece is of course the #Crumar #BIT99, the drum machine is the #Arturia Drumbrute Impact. There is a sound effect from the #GEM #S2 and a note from an #Emu #Proteus/2 (quite a famous one, by the way).

I wrote a new piece of music! This time is called Chasing Auroras and it is an atmospheric piece meant for background and relaxation. It is featuring very prominently the sounds produced by the #Crumar #BIT99 #polysynth.

I created a #GitHub project for the #Crumar #BIT99 tool I wrote (C language, macOS console). #opensource #sysex #MIDI #synth https://github.com/DarwinNE/Crumar_BIT99_Sysex/tree/main

I created a #GitHub project for the #Crumar #BIT99 tool I wrote (C language, macOS console). #opensource #sysex #MIDI #synth https://github.com/DarwinNE/Crumar_BIT99_Sysex/tree/main

I updated the tool I wrote so that it can directly communicate with the #Crumar #BIT99 via #MIDI sysex. It can download a single patch or all the 1-99 patches of the instrument. It is a console program written in C for macOS, as I don't have the time to write a full-fledged window-based user interface, but I tried to keep it nice to use nonetheless. #synth #sysex #music

I wrote a small tool in C to interpret the #SYSEX files for the #Crumar #BIT99 and #BIT01. It's handy as you can inspect how a certain patch is configured (DCO1 and 2, VCF, LFO1 and 2 etc). I even found an error in the BIT99 manual: the bit order of certain parameters is reversed! The little tool is still quite rough around the edges, but it begins to work.

I tried to do some sound design on the #Crumar #Bit99 and got some interesting string patches with long attack and release. I tried to improvise some chords on a dorian-like context with the #Arturia Drumbrute Impact drum machine. The result is creamy and atmospheric, I hope you'll enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMGrjNyKKN8 #indiemusic #polysynth #analog #mastoart

@synx508 I fell into the rabbit hole of the Italian synths of the Marche region a few months ago as I discovered that my GEM S2 was part of it. I LOVE analog hardware and when I searched for an affordable polysynth I noticed that the #BIT99 was affordable yet extremely interesting 😍

I drove for 500km to pick it up, but it was well worth. Look at this beautiful analog Italian #polysynth 😍 A #Crumar #Bit99. With 6 voices, it is capable of beautiful warm pads and punchy bass sounds. I utterly love it. It is relatively obscure, but my gosh what SOUND you can get from it! The filters are just amazing! Made in Castelfidardo! #synth
