CAT Controls
Step 1: Controls
(EN)
KEYBOARD Section
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
PITCH BEND slider shifts the pitch up or down by
(1)
an octave.
OCTAVE SHIFT switch shifts the pitch up or down by
(2)
2 octaves.
GLIDE controls the rate of change from one note to the
(3)
other. When this slider is placed in the MIN position there
is no gliding between notes played on the keyboard.
As the slider is moved upward toward the MAX position,
the glide time between notes increases.
LFO FREQ slider controls the repetition rate for the Low
(4)
Frequency Oscillator (LFO), as well as the ADSR REPEAT
tempo and the S+H (sample-and-hold) rate.
LFO LED lights to indicate the repetition rate for the Low
(5)
Frequency Oscillator (LFO).
VCO1 Oscillator Section

(11) (12) (13) (14)
FREQUENCY (FINE/COARSE) knobs are used to tune VCO1.
(6)
The COARSE knob sets the approximate tuning, and then
the FINE knob allows exact tuning adjustment.
KEYBOARD CONTROL switch control show the keyboard
(7)
controller interacts with VCO1. When the switch is set to
the MONO position, VCO1 generates the lowest note that
is depressed on the keyboard. When set to POLY, VCO1
generates the highest note depressed on the keyboard,
while VCO2 handles the lowest note in order to allow
two notes to be played simultaneously. (VCO2 is always
controlled by the lowest note played on the keyboard.)
When set to the OFF position, VCO1 is not affected by
the keyboard.
WAVEFORM SWITCHES patch different waveforms
(8)
into VCO1.
MODULATION DEPTH knobs control the degree to which
(9)
a particular waveform affects the tone generated by
VCO1. Increasing the modulation depth produces a more
intense effect.
PULSE WIDTH knob controls the pulse width modulation
(10)
depth of VCO1. The modulation source is controlled by the
waveform switch directly above the PULSE WIDTH knob.
VCO1 AUDIO LEVEL Sliders
For the VCO1 oscillator section, several different wave outputs
are available at the same time, and each wave output has its
(7)
own slider so that the volume for each wave output can be
adjusted independently.
SUB OCTAVE slider controls a square wave one octave
(11)
below the set oscillator frequency.
SAWTOOTH slider controls the amount of sawtooth
(12)
waveform in the sound. A sawtooth waveform usually
provides a brassy timbre.
TRIANGLE slider controls the amount of triangle
(13)
(10)
waveform, which provides a mellow, flute-like timbre.
PULSE slider controls the amount of waveform added to
(14)
the sound from the PULSE WIDTH knob.

FINE TUNE knob adjusts the VCO2 pitch.
(15)
SYNC switch can be used to lock VCO1 with VCO2 so that
(16)
both oscillators act as a single large oscillator. When
synced, VCO1 follow the frequency of VCO2 to produce
complex sounds.
WAVEFORM SWITCHES patch different waveforms
(17)
into VCO2.
MODULATION DEPTH knobs control the degree to which
(18)
a particular waveform affects the tone generated by
VCO2. Increasing the modulation depth produces a more
intense effect.
VCO2 AUDIO LEVEL Sliders
For the VCO2 oscillator section, several different wave outputs
are available at the same time, and each wave output has its
own slider so that the volume for each wave output can be
adjusted independently.
SUB OCTAVE slider controls a square wave one octave
(19)
below the set oscillator frequency.
SQUARE WAVE slider controls the amount of square
(20)
waveform, which produces a hollow or reedy quality to
the sound.
SAWTOOTH slider controls the amount of sawtooth
(21)
waveform in the sound. A sawtooth waveform usually
provides a brassy timbre.
