ABOUT small Cat - the Kitten reminds of smaller ARP Odyssey, in fact the end of Octave was a problem with ARP (patent reasons). in fact it was something like an update to the Odyssey. duophonic. what? it's about the same as the odyssey II / III, but it has 2 (two) suboscillators and you could blend those waveforms (instead of just switching like on the odyssey).. so it may still be a good alternative.. with the so called SRM / SRM II update it could be played "duophonic".. so see this as an alternative choice.. there has been a smaller version "the kitten" with just one VCO but both were forced to stop production. copyright reasons..
ABOUT Kitten? (Kätzchen) ein kleiner Cat (Katze) erinnert stark an einen verkleinerten ARP Odyssey, war aber gegenüber dem sogar deutlich erweitert. Das Ende von Octave war auch letzlich ein Patentproblem mit / gegenüber ARP.
