Octave

This machine is basically a ARP Odyssey clone. Incedentally ARP sued Cat over this! This is a VERY rich and phat sounding machine. It has one over the mini-moog because it is possible to have all waveforms at once (each with their own slider) instead of just switching between them like the Moog.

As analogue synths go this is down and dirty, but with a strange sense of "class". Pads, brass, e-piano... bahhh - go away. Thunderous bass, massive leads, grinding highs - welcome home. Layout is ultra intuitive and exceptionally spacious. The number of sound possibilities is surprisingly extensive...
