Setup 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

First of all, connect the power supply (12v) in the “POWER”  connector in the 
back of the instrument, then connect a mono jack in the “AUDIO OUT connector 
and thru a mixing console or directly to a sound system’s amplifier. 
In case that you would like to use Bassman like a midi sound engine, and drive it 
with a midi keyboard ( for example ), connect it with the “MIDI IN” 
“AUDIO IN” connector allows you to connect and drive a line signal and pass it to 
the Bassman VCF e VCA.  
The instrument has “MIDI OUT” connector too that allows you to use the midi 
controller of Bassman for drive other midi instruments. 
F.C.1 &  F.C.2 are used for connecting two controls pedals (optional) for modify 
parameters in real time such as Filter Cutoff or Emphasis.

 

 
Now you can turn on the instrument pressing the “ON” button on front panel. 
 

WARNING: USE ONLY CRUMAR COMPATIBLE PEDALS!  
IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. 

 

WARNING: Avoid to let power supply connected to main AC if the instrument 
is not in use, this will increase life of power supply and power consumption. 
WARNING: do not connect F.C. 1 e F.C.2  when instrument is in use. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Working table 

 
 

CRUMAR BASSMAN system can easily be splitted into two sections: 

MIDI 

CONTROLLER

 

section

 and

 SYNTH section

. The MIDI CONTROLLER section 

involves the generation of midi standard messages with the pedalboard notes, the 
footswitches PRESET UP & DOWN, the 2 optional footswitches F.C.1 &  F.C.2 and 
eventually signals produced by the pression or the rotation of switches and pots 
of the right panel. The synth section work for generation of sounds.
