video upload by soitgoesmusic

"A demo of the Novation Super Bass Station. This 1U rack synth packs some 303 and MiniMoog sounds into a small package.

Patches programmed and played by so.it.goes. No effects added. What you hear is direct from the synth. Each part is from one patch only. There is no multi-tracking on any part.

Pros:
- Fully analog
- Small 1U rack footprint
- Has 2 filter settings to emulate the classic 303 (12db) and MiniMoog (24db) sounds

Cons:
- Lacks the low-end one would expect from a bass synth
- Overall sound is a little flat
- Build quality is only satisfactory"

The Cat by Octave (1976 Non-SRM) Custom Patch Demo

A demo of the vintage Octave Cat synthesizer. This is the original Non-SRM one from 1976. It's one fat sounding synth.

Patches programmed and played by so.it.goes. No effects added. What you hear is direct from the synth. Each part is from one patch only. There is no multi-tracking on any part.

Pros:
- amazing vintage analog sound
- it feels alive with electricity and has lots of subtle variations in the textures of the sound
- independent faders for each wave form means that 8 sounds can be playing at once (4 on VCO 1, 3 on VCO 2, and noise), creating huge sounds

Cons:
- no midi
- needs to be tuned on each use
- needs lots of maintenance (i.e., regular calibration)
- can't save patches and rarely sounds exactly the same twice
