Octave • The Kitten
The Kitten is a lighter version of the Cat. It is a single-oscillator monophonic analog synth with a simple and intuitive layout. There is a sub-octave-oscillator that can be used to really fatten up a sound. It is quite capable of techno blip-sounds, synth-effect sounds, rumbling bass and analog percussive effects. Its simple design and low street price make it a great entry-level vintage synth for anyone looking for quick and dirty mono-synth sounds! There is a complete lack of MIDI and patch memory available. However, CV/Gate and audio inputs are available for linking up to other Cats and Kittens or other classic synthesizer systems. Rareness can in some cases jack up its street price. It has been used by The Chemical Brothers.

Just got hold of a Kitten 2. a bit beaten up but I swear to god, I've never heard anything like it. Would like to know some info on the v.2 - production dates etc.
My collection of synths has ebbed and flowed over the years... the one constant: the Kitten. Intuitive and solid. Beautiful machine.
very cool machine, wish I still had one, great affects. Easy to create sound that Rush used in certain songs. when you work it right, you can actually make it talk.
Way Out West uses one as well, I just watched a video tour of their studio... That filter is evil!
