Full Bucket Music has returned with another free synthesizer plugin for Windows and Mac. Bucket ONE simulates the classic BIT 01/99 6-voice synthesizers by Crumar, which were first available in 1985.
The BIT ONE and its successor, the BIT 01/99 simulated here (the BIT 01 is the rack version of the BIT 99), entered the stage in 1984 and 1985 respectively. Built by the Italian company Crumar which is famous for their string ensembles, synths, and combi keyboards/organs, these units were also sold under the labels “Unique” and “LEM”.
There was nothing special about the BITs except that they were pretty inexpensive and offered keyboard velocity! Wow! [I am not sarcastic here.]
Bucket ONE features
- Close simulation of the original hardware.
- Visual sound editor.
- Up to 64 voices polyphony including Split and Double mode.
