Max for Cats MSE Synthesizer System

three components: the synth module, the Quad, four of the MSE synths stacked together, and the SEQ8, a step sequencer.

The MSE Synthesizer module is a small but very powerful and versatile high quality synth. It can be played in mono mode or 8 voice polyphonically.

• Mono or 8 voice poly mode
• Glide/Pitchbend
• 2 oscillators (saw/pulse with PW)
• Oscillator sync for pulse wave
• Multimode state variable filter with LP, notch, HP and BP
• 2 LFOs with several waveforms, sync or free running
• 2 ADS envelopes
• A sub and noise oscillator
• Several modulation targets

The big Quad is four of the MSE synths stacked together and each MIDI note will sequentially play one of the four MSE modules - just like the old 1975 Four Voice Synthesizer from Oberheim. Each module can have it's own key split and can be programmed fully independently. A Unison mode will play them all together for ultra-phat bass or lead sounds.

• 4 MSE modules
• Keysplit for each MSE
• Individual glide for each MSE
• 8 oscillators
• Oscillator sync for pulse wave
• 4 multimode state variable filters with LP, Notch, HP and BP
• 8 LFOs with several waveforms, sync or free running
• 8 ADS envelopes
• 4 sub and noise oscillator
• Several modulation targets

the SEQ8 is an analogue style step sequencer with 8 steps, swing, integrated MIDI scaling and Map function. The pattern can be transposed with incoming MIDI notes. This sequencer can be used with any synth, be it software or external hardware synths.

• Sync or free running
• Key transpose
• Randomise for each row
• 1- 8 note steps
• 1- 8 octave steps
• 1- 8 velocity steps
• 1-8 map steps for free parameter mapping with smoothing
• Swing
• Note scaling
• Direction: FWD (forward), BWD (backward), BAF (back and forth), ALT (alternate), RND (random)
• Step mutes

System Requirements:

• Live 9.5 or higher
• Max for Live 7
• OS X or Windows
