Free the Tone Future Factory sweetens the Cat
video upload by Richard DeHove
"Four short noodles with the Behringer Cat and a Free the Tone Future Factory FF-1Y stereo delay. The delay cost almost exactly twice as much as the (recently discounted) Cat but it certainly makes the Cat twice as sweet. In fact I couldn't play anything mean and dirty through the FF-1Y, it just coats everything in beauty.
Two things really struck me with the FF, first its seemingly effortless deep stereo field, and second, the rich reverb-like atmosphere. It makes the raw little 2-note CAT sound like a far more complex poly. The sounds here from the FF are modified presets. There's absolutely no other effects or processing applied. If anyone wants to hear more I'll do a deep dive into the FF. For now it's my favorite delay.
0:00 Ominous strum-drone
1:13 Sweet resonant keys
2:51 Cheesy square riff
4:15 Thick arp

Octave Electronics : The Cat Synthesizer

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.
"Similar to the infamous ARP Odyssey, so much so that ARP sued Octave for cloning their designs in the mid 70s. The Octave Cat is in great shape overall and just gone over internally by our in-house technician. These are getting harder to find in the wild, especially in good working condition.
Repair notes: Replaced trim pots, replaced all electrolytic capacitors. Replaced almost all IC sockets. Disassembled and cleaned all controls and switches. Rebuilt power supply. Replaced ceramic capacitors in power supply and both VCOs. Repaired key memory S/H circuits. Cleaned pin headers, connectors, buss bars and key contacts. Calibrated and burned in."

The Brooklyn Bridge - A ride with original music
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We take a ride over New York's iconic Brooklyn Bridge, starting on the FDR Drive in Manhattan and ending in Downtown Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 as the first span crossing the East River and the longest and tallest suspension bridge at the time. It is still instantly recognizable with its stone arched towers and unique cable system.
If you haven't yet seen our FDR Drive video (from the Third Avenue Bridge in the Bronx to the start of the Brooklyn Bridge), we recommend checking that out as well: [posted here]

via this auction
"This listing is for a vintage Rev 4 Octave Plateau Voyetra Eight. Rev 4 is the most desirable and final revision that allows for a number of extra midi functions, most importantly aftertouch, pitch bending and modulation assignment. Rev 4 green boards are also robust and supposed to have more long-term reliability."

NOS 1982 Octave Voyetra One Mylar Front Panel
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Note, this appears to be the first mention of the Voyetra One on the site.
"This mylar front panel was made in 1982 by Octave-Plateau for their Voyetra One synthesizer that was never manufactured. This is a rare collector's item for any fan of the Voyetra Eight synthesizer and would look great framed and displayed on the wall of a studio. The layout clearly shows the complex voice architecture of the Voyetra Eight, which is not obvious from looking at the Voyetra Eight front panel.
This item is New Old Stock (NOS) and is covered with a protective film as shipped from the factory. The back has an adhesive covered with a paper protector and the manufacturer's sticker shows it was made on March 22, 1982.
The Voyetra One was originally intended to be a programmer for the Voyetra Eight but it was abandoned when Octave-Plateau decided instead to make a software voice editor for the IBM PC. For more information on the Voyetra One and Voyetra Eight, Google 'Fandom Voyetra Eight Synthesizer'."
