More fun the more I learn

Bjørnar, 13.11.2019

I'm new to modulars/semi-modulars. When I received the Crave and started playing with it, my first thought was "Ok, this thing is a liiiitle bit more basic than I was expecting" - but that didn't last for long.

Soon I had Googled my way to patches for the very similar synth from another manufacturer that I won't name (you probably know which other synth has 32 connections) and it opened my mind and I realized the real potential of the Crave.

This thing can really make a lot of nice sounds, especially for something at this price level!

Pros:
- A LOT of routing options for a beginner's semi-modular
- The oscillator (and envelope) sounds very nice, powerful and punchy
- Build quality is top notch. It's built like a tank
- Very smooth potentiometers that feel like they will last for a long time. Very sturdy, with no play.
- Patch-compatible with the other very similar synth (you know which)
- The sequencer is more advanced than I first thought. I recommend to read the manual to learn it fully.
- Configuring the "Assign" output to "Sequencer random" and patching it through the "Multiple" I/O's (or stackable cables) to inputs like e.g. VCO mod, LFO rate and VCF mod gives hours of fun.
- The side panels seem to be wood or at least wooden laminate as far as I can tell (not plastic as a Youtube reviewer recently said)

Cons:
- A 6.3mm TRS jack output would have been nice instead of the 3.5mm TS in the patch bay
- Input level of "Ext. audio" is -5V to +5V (that means the output from other line-level gear will be very low in volume
- Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I wish the sequencer would act more like a 303 when setting the gate length to max (the notes don't quite merge with the next note when gate length is 100% and glide is on, there's a tiny gap)
- Thomann's product page for the Crave says it has an ADSR envelope, but it's actually ADS
- On my unit the D# key on the sequencer "keyboard" is a bit more difficult than the rest. It has to be pushed exactly in center to trigger, unlike the rest of the keys which trigger both in center and sides. I assume this something that can be easily fixed by re-adjusting the placement of the plastic keys slightly. But I won't try as it's not too bothersome so far, and it might just fix itself after more use.

This guy knows his stuff!

Valeriy Faustov, 02.02.2021

The synth is simple, monophonic subtractive with limited LFO / ENV kits, but a step sequencer.
classic filter
Oscillator ordinary 3340.
It's good - that the synth is semi-modular at its price. Nice set of patches.
Ideal for a beginner's guide.
I should also mention that these synthesizers are very good for live performances. Laptop + Crave is much more fun than just a laptop. And such a set will theoretically even fit in hand luggage.

Can't be beat for this price

Kobboi, 01.02.2021

The Crave is a monophonic synth with quite some editing possibilities due to an extensive patchbay and step sequencer that is quite expressive and flexible. Even if it looks like a limited synth at first sight it is surprising what you can make with it - just check youtube tutorials by loopop, Starsky Carr and Anton Anru. I use it for electro and techno and it somehow finds its way in almost any track I make.
