• Analog synthesizer with dual VCO design
• Reproduction of original “CAT SRM II” circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs
• Analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs
• 4 variable and simultaneous oscillator shapes (Sawtooth, Triangle, modulated Pulse and Sub
• Octave Square)
• Paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled
• Oscillators can be modulated from 6 different sources with 2 modulation depth attenuators
• Classic filter design (high pass/low pass with peak/resonance) with self-resonance capability
• Filter can be modulated from 6 different sources with 2 modulation depth attenuators
• Dedicated and fully analog triangle/square wave LFO
• 2 analog Envelope Generators for modulation of VCF and VCA
• White noise generator
• 16-voice Poly Chain allows combining multiple synthesizers for up to 16 voice polyphony
• Complete Eurorack solution – main module can be transferred to a standard Eurorack case
• 7 controls give you direct and real-time access to all important parameters
• Audio input for processing external sound sources for enhanced creativity
• External control inputs and outputs (High Note CV, Low Note CV, Gate, Filter etc.)
• Comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and Voice Priority selection
