Description	The Crumar Compac Synth is an analog synthesizer released in 1976. It follows a line of of products that Crumar manufactured like the Compac Piano and Compac Sting instruments of the era. The Compac Synth is unique in that it features two separate voices that can be played simultaneously or split in two zones on the keyboard. Each voice has it's own oscillator, filter and AR envelope as well as separate outputs. Additionally the Compac Synth's voices have separate control sections for it's oscillator waveforms, filter, envelope, and octave settings. The control sections include sliders and buttons for adjusting the timbres. The output section includes two separate outputs which allow voices A and B to be output together or individually with output A sent to the additional output. The unit features a separate master tune knob and a slider tune knob for oscillator B tuning. Both oscillators have separate sliders for adjusting portamento.
