"Octave released this analog classic - the Cat - during the era of the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey synthesizers. The Cat is actually very much like the ARP Odyssey, so much so that ARP had sued them in the late 1970's for cloning their designs. The Cat is a monophonic/duophonic analog synthesizer with 2 oscillators capable of square and sawtooth waveforms. VCO 1 also has a triangle waveform. Each of the waveforms can be played simultaneously and mixed together and there are additional sub-octave oscillators on each oscillator to blend new and interesting sounds.
This one was recently serviced by Deltronics in Chicago to have the power supply cleaned up. The oscillators are stable and all the pots are smooth. There is some visible wear on the face plate particularly around the filter frequency pot. There is also a small ding in one of the wood panels shown in the picture. Overall though the synth sounds and plays great."
