Octave The Cat Analog Synthesizer by Fabien Fouet

Published on Sep 10, 2018 Fabien Fouet

1. "Demonstration of the sound possibilities of the Octave The Cat synthesizer. No sequencer in this video, just the sound of the synthesizer directly in the sound card, no effect or special effects ;)"

2. "Demonstration of the sound possibilities of the Octave The Cat analog synthesizer. The Kick is generated by a Korg Volca Kick. The Cat is triggered by a Kenton USB Solo interface with Ableton Live 10 as a sequencer."

3. "Exploring the sound of the analog synthesizer Octave The Cat, no effect only the direct sound in the sound card. The trigger is made with a Kenton Usb Solo interface via CV Gate and Ableton Live 10 sequencer."

4. "A video to make you listen and share the sound of this old analog synth Octave The Cat. Mine has some problems, especially the Sub Octave does not work anymore and the ADSR works in -ASR triggering with CV Gate. Despite these concerns the sound of this synth and great;)"

Why to Modular - 1 - Overview

Published on Sep 10, 2018 Knobs

"Have you been wondering about modular?
How about not wondering about it at all?

Either way!
Now is your chance.

If you're anything like us, you've probably known about modular for a good while but haven't had a clear reason to dive in.

Over the next few weeks, we're going to talk about what makes modular special. How it might help you and take you to places you couldn't go otherwise. It's an imaginative and entirely different way to make music, and one you may be more ready for than you realize.

Maybe.
Let's find out.
