Octave Cat

“Only 2 owners. Purchased from a Pawn Shop in 1982 Los Angeles. Excellent condition. Works as it should. Serviced recently. One coffee ring on the side wood panel. Sounds extremely fat. Great monosynth with duophonic capabilites. Filters are very impressive.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Octave Cat

“Pre-SRM model, super clean, works and sounds great. Much richer tone than either of the later SRM models. Comparable to Mk. II Arp Odyssey (2810) except many more routing and sound shaping options. One of the most versatile monosynths ever made, a superb solo/lead instrument, an insane FX machine, an absolute joy to play.

This unit has holes drilled for CV/gate (non-standard) but interface does not work. so just consider this as a standard pre-SRM Cat that can be easily modded in the event you want to add CV/gate.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Octave Cat

“Rare Octave The Cat analog synthesizer, their answer to the ARP Odyssey.

Recently refurbished by one of the best synth techs in SoCal so that the electronics are as good as the cosmetics (many Cats look great but are electronically thrashed – not this one).”

Octave CAT Project Machine

“100% analog, old-school duophonic nastiness! Created in 1976 as an Arp Odyssey clone, Octave added a few of their own features, including the ability to (sort of) play the 2 oscillators independently, but the real character of this instrument comes not in playing melodies but in the distinct, gnarly filter and the myriad modulation possibilities on this instrument. You can make the 2 VCOs modulate each other, then modulate the filter, which is also modulated by the LFO and the repeating AR envelope, and tweak all kinds of amazing drone textures into life. I’ll really miss this beauty, but truth be told, it needs some love. I had it serviced about 8 years ago when I first bought it, but it seems the oscillators do not sound without the filter Q being at max, and the volume overall is low, so I suspect the VCA may need replacing. You can definitely get great sounds out of this beast as-is, but for maximum potential, it will need some love from a technician.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Octave CAT

“Great sounding antique board (pre-1980s) with a killer filter and some unusual gnarly effects via its flexible modulation capabilities. Oscillator sync, sample and hold, audio rate frequency modulation of both the filter and oscillators, duophonic mode and did I mention the filter? Yeah, it’s pretty sick. Screams like a banshee. In fact, I believe Arp sued them over cloning their design of the original Odyssey.

It’s been in dry storage for some time, but it still plays and sounds great. The original filter was replaced with a new old stock OEM chip that was tough to track down, and it had a thorough check up by a reputable vintage synth tech shortly before going into storage.

I have cleaned the j-wires and bus bars so the keys trigger great and all controls function smoothly and quietly. It looks great for its age with no serious physical defects and plays like new.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Octave Kitten

“Octave The Kitten Synthesizer Keyboard

Tested and is working.

I’m no pro synth user and it looks pretty complicated to work.

I was able to get some very cool sounds out of it but probably did not test all the functions.

Looks like it has a warped back bottom and maybe on the side panels.

As you can see it is missing a few slider plastic buttons but all the sliders move and switches move and seem to function. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Octave-Plateau Catstick

“Octave-Plateau Cat Stick in good condition for its age. This is almost a modular synthesizer in itself, yet is for use with modular or CV synths to add expressive control and sort of patch in VCO and XY signals in new configurations. It creates beautiful, complex, and really unusual modulations as would be appreciated by a performing musician or sound designer or an odd noise collector. This one works yet shows expected signs of moderate use and slightly discolored plastic. These are extremely rare.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
