The CAT is a duophonic analog synth built around dual VCOs that can be played independently, letting you sketch out basslines and lead lines simultaneously from a single instrument. Its distinctive filter and oscillator architecture trace back to a rare and sought-after original, giving the CAT a sonic character that stands apart from more common vintage synth recreations. It’s a compact, characterful instrument for players who want something a little different on the bench. Features: Analog synthesizer with a dual-VCO design allows for the creation of insanely fat sounds Authentic reproduction of original “CAT SRM II” circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs Pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs 4 variable, simultaneous oscillator shapes (sawtooth, triangle, modulated pulse and sub-octave square) for flexible sound shaping Duophonic/paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled Oscillators can be modulated from 6 different sources with 2 modulation depth attenuators Classic filter design (low-pass with peak/resonance) with self-resonance capability Filter can be modulated from 6 different sources with 2 modulation depth attenuators Dedicated and fully analog sine/square wave LFO 2 analog envelope generators for modulation of VCF and VCA White noise generator dramatically expands waveform generation 16-voice Poly Chain allows multiple synthesizers to be combined for up to 16-voice polyphony Complete Eurorack solution—the main module can be transferred to a standard Eurorack case 47 controls provide direct, real-time access to all important parameters Audio input for processing external sound sources for enhanced creativity External control inputs and outputs (high note CV, low note CV, gate, filter) Comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and voice priority selection
