The CAT SRM sophisticated member of the CAT SYNTHESIZER FAMILY from OCTAVE. It's the subtle things that make it a human engineered, performance orientated machine. Subtle things like our combination of ROTARY POTS and SLIDE POTS for easily distinguishing both visually and manually between modulation depth and other synthesizer functions. Subtle things like our ROTARY POTS WITH TOUCH POINTERS to let you feel as well as see your settings. Subtle things like the functional clarity of the panel graphics which are logically oriented to correspond with the flow of sound within the unit. Some things, however, are not all that subtle. For instance

POLYPHONIC or MONOPHONIC KEYBOARD
Monophonic keyboards DO have certain advantages that shouldn't be overlooked. For instance, the ability to chop a note by playing a note below it can only be (lone with a monophonic keyboard. But then again, there's nothing like playing 2 note intervals on your synthesizer. The CAT SRM offers you BOTH, MONOPHONIC OR POLYPHONIC keyboard response at the flip of a switch. And that's not all

POLYPHONIC 2-NOTE MEMORY
The Cat incorporates a special 2 NOTE MEMORY SYSTEM which MEMORIZES both the HIGHEST and LOWEST NOTES DEPRESSED to let you sustain intervals even after lifting your hand off of the keyboard!

"FAT-CAT" SUBOCTAVES
A suboctave on each VCO makes the difference between a 2 oscillator sound and the ''FAT CAT'' /1 OSCILLATOR SOUND THAT CHARACTAR1ZES the Cat family of synthesizers.

MIXABLE WAVESHAPES
Each of the waveshapes on VCOI and VCO 2 has it's own volume slider, enabling you to mix them in any proportion you need for complex timhres or various modulation effects.

"4 NOTE SEQUENCER" PATCH
Only by mixing waveshapes can we offer you a '' NOTE SEQUENCER'' PATCH. By mixing the suboctave square and pulse waves on VCO I and modulating VCO 2 with it, you can actually get 2 sequenced notes whose frequency spacing, rhythm and tempo can all be defined.
