Key Features
The Cherry Audio Crumar Spirit is an analog-modelled plugin replica of the unique and rare Spirit synthesizer from 1983. Recreated in direct partnership with Crumar, this plug-in faithfully translates the distinctive 1983 Spirit synthesiser into a modern workflow. Built on the original circuit thinking of Bob Moog, Tom Rhea, Jim Scott and Sante Crucianelli, it retains the dual-oscillator, dual-filter, dual-envelope architecture and the distinctive, exploratory behaviour that made the hardware a cult favourite. You get the essence of the instrument without maintenance worries, ready to load into your sessions and shape into anything from edgy, unstable growls to rounded, classic analogue tones.
Spirit’s design is thoughtfully expanded for contemporary production. Choose monophonic, unison, polyphonic (4, 8 or 16 voices) or cycle modes, dive into Cherry Audio’s four-slot Matrix Z Modulation with up to 25 sources and explore the replicated arpeggiator, now with swing, chance and feel for immediate movement. Dual chains of studio-grade effects, velocity and aftertouch, plus polyphonic aftertouch, boost expression. Over 430 professionally created presets across a dozen categories speed up sound selection, while the clear interface and patch memory make detailed programming straightforward. It’s a characterful instrument that drops straight into your DAW and rewards hands-on tweaking.

Crumar of Castelfidardo, Italy built its name in the 1970s with home organs and digital keyboards, particularly for the U.S. market. Guided by Sante Crucianelli, the company fostered an unusually open lab culture that even welcomed competitors, an approach that sparked collaboration with synthesiser pioneer Bob Moog. Alongside Moog engineer Jim Scott and clinician/historian Tom Rhea, the Spirit monophonic analogue synth took shape around 1980, drawing on earlier Moog/Scott design work. Rhea helped define essentials such as keyboard scanning, the instrument’s functional layout and its technical documentation. Spirit reached production in late 1983, but a fast-moving shift toward digital instruments limited its run. Despite its forward-thinking features, Crumar ceased operations in 1986 as the market evolved.
Cherry Audio’s software version retains the original’s adventurous sound architecture while updating it for today’s workflows, created in cooperation with Crumar. Polyphony has been added with mono, unison, poly (4, 8 or 16 voices) and cycle modes, and modulation is expanded via the four-slot Matrix Z with up to 25 sources. The Spirit arpeggiator is faithfully recreated and enriched with swing, chance and feel. Expression is heightened with velocity and aftertouch support, including polyphonic aftertouch, while dual chains of studio-grade effects and practical patch memory streamline production. With over 430 presets by six professional sound designers and an approachable interface, this plug-in brings the hardware’s bold tonal palette into the DAW, minus scratchy pots, failing caps or auction-hunt hassles.
