Extreme Modulations Octave CAT, CAT Stick

"just a few minutes of osc1 modulating osc2, osc1 modulating VCF and modulation madness from the CAT Stick"

Yamaha CS30 Tweak Session

"The Yamaha CS30 is a very fun synth. When you understand how to use all the many features and modulation possibilities you can make some super interesting sounds."

"Just a slice from an exploration session with the CAT and CAT Stick with some pads in the back from the Opsix"

Getting to know the Yamaha CS30

video upload by Hanz Volt

"When I encounter a new synth I will spend weeks and months tweaking and understanding how the machine sounds... I make all the types of sounds I know how to program and then test the extreme possibilities with whatever modulation possibilities exist. and then understand nuances of subtle parameter changes"

Some tweak time with the Yamaha CS30

video upload by Hanz Volt

"If you love to spend time understanding exactly how your synthesizer reacts to all parameter combinations so you can synthesize exactly what sound you want… then this synth will keep you exploring for a very long time. 2 VCO, 2 VCF, 3 ENV, 8 step sequencer. Inverted envelopes.. serious cross modulation, an LFO… the filters can be assigned to an envelope and that envelope modulated by the sequencer! LP BP HP stereo filters😮 and more🤯"

Octave CAT SRM2 and CAT Stick

"The CAT is the fiercest synth hands down… and with a slight wiggle of the Stick it gets powerfully nasty 💪🏼"

[Note: another YT video not displaying the thumbnail. Not sure why this is happening. Just hit the play button.]

"The CAT Stick is a super rare synthesizer controller. With so many connections it’s just mad 🤯. Cool thing is that you can control multiple synths simultaneously with the touch of the joystick….so all you need are some cv parameters to manipulate and the CAT will turn any synth into madness. 4 VCAs and 2 LFOs 💪🏼 XY axis control from the 🕹"

Altair 231 the Russian Moog Model D clone (but the Altair sounds sweeter)

"Some more Altair 231 tweaking!!! 🤤😁
and of course Tama TS-306, Lell UDS and TipTop Audio BD808 on da Drumz"
