I drove for 500km to pick it up, but it was well worth. Look at this beautiful analog Italian #polysynth 馃槏 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

I have the rack mount version. It's quite good, a unique character. Mine has a small problem that seems like it might be firmware, which spoils it slightly.

My nickname should give away that I like Italian synths from the 1980s!

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 馃槏
