Behringer Cat synth - unboxing and first sounds (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Yes, it's my first Cat video, the Behringer Cat, which recently plunged in price by almost 50 per cent. It cost me substantially less than the Nemesis delay which it's paired with here. It's a bargain and since there was zero chance of me ever buying (and hoping to maintain) a 50-year-old original Cat it seemed a fair deal. Strangely enough I'd been looking at this synth for a month or so specifically because of two features: It's paraphonic with separate VCO 1 & 2 CV inputs; and it has beautifully raw cross-modulation. (More with the CV inputs in a later video)

This is also my first unboxing video (a challenge accepted from Berin) but I couldn't bring myself to utter lines like "here is the power supply, oh and a lovely sticker" so there's some Cat sounds over the top. There's a lot of dischordant sounds in this demo but that's what I bought it for. Of course it can do all the usual things too. The Nemesis delay is slopped over the top of everything for which I offer no apology since it sounds so much better that way, covers up sloppy playing, and makes filter twiddlings interesting. But if anyone really wants 100% raw stuff let me know. As usual there is no post-production audio trickery, the path is Cat to Nemesis to you. And for any Cat veterans out there I'm sure various settings were either redundant or bypassed (I couldn't work out the second envelope), but it's early days so live and learn. It was fun not needing to even look in a manual though, it's there in front of you. One thing that did strike me was how powerful the resonance is. I've been spoiled by the no-risk DB-01 Polivoks resonance which happily goes to 100 per cent anytime. Not here!

Visuals are AI-generated images made using Stable Diffusion. Being the creative type I came up with my very own set of AI word prompts, which I think makes me "lead visual artist, SFX supervisor and CGI chief designer".

"Here we have 2 vintage serge modular music systems smms modules attached to a clear custom unlabelled front panel and power supply. The previous owner says they were probably from around 1980 or so and didnt remember anything else about them - 40+ years is a long time!

The modules appear to be the wonderful wave multiplier and triple comparator, but we’re not sure so see pics and do your own research before buying so you know what to expect. If it IS the wave multiplier, this is one of the most sought after of serge modules as it sounds like nothing else.

These came out of a cabinet with Aries modules (being sold separately) and are untested. Assume they’ll need repair."

"A rather rare and cool monophonic synth that was originally sold under the Teisco branding. This example is in excellent overall condition and in 100% fully working order. It’s voltage rating is 240V so it will require a step down transformer if used in the USA. A wonderful synth that doesn’t come up for sale too often. Used by the likes of Depeche Mode and others."

"K3m – Doubling Polyphony Up To 12 VoicesThe K3 is also available as K3m synthesizer module. The latter is identical to the keyboard version, with one small exception: the spill-over function. It allows to chain a second K3m (or a K3)for double polyphony. 12-voices sounds so much better than 6-voices, Kawai K3m Vintage synth with analog ssm 2044 filters! (polysix,PPG Wave filters)"
