# Octave The Cat

Cat, Octave @ 09 June 2009

“This is an original “Octave “the Cat” Electronic Music Synthesizer”….. manufactured from 1977 to the early 80′s. Iv’e had this one for almost 10 years…. I’m an electronic music producer, but iv’e always used VST’s and midi controllers and such….. I HAVE plugged this Cat in, and it DOES work…. I’m not familiar with how to use it properly, with a formant i guess, (external input), which i imagine creates more tone than the beeps and buzzes and rhythmic pulsations that you hear when you simply play the keys with the Cat “standing alone”. If there is anything wrong with this unit, I am unaware of it….This thing is in the exact same condition it was when i got it ten years ago….(from a friend who owed me alot o’ money). As you can see, there are a couple knobs and slider caps missing off the face, but the functions still easily work and are operated…. (they have the standard half-circle heads for replacement knobs to slip onto, so not a biggie to replace). – AGAIN- all the knobs and sliders are in seemingly good working condition, as with each move of a slider and with each turn of a knob, there is change in the sound/waveform that you hear. -there is some minimal white paint splatter -only on the keys (which i have not taken paint thinner to), that i’m sure can be removed with either thinner or something of the sort.” Link
