Cheetah MS800 Basics

Aphex Twin brought me here

Very nice review, thanks Paddy! Didn't realise Novation came out of the old Cheetah legacy ....

[@ChrisWright3]

That's not correct. Soundscape Digital Technology came out of Cheetah. Novation was formed by the original designer of the Cheetah MS6. MS800 was designed for Cheetah by Lynett Systems.

@@ChrisWright3 Ahh, cheers Chris for clarifying that. Good to have some legacy synth Co. tech knowledge on a Sunday morning!! Still got my MS6, though one of the VCA chips needs replacement (usual for these). Been properly earthed now too (! 😵). Also got Novation Super BS rack & BS II synth, great products 😎👍🎹🎵

Wait, the original Bass Station was released in 1993, I think. Anywhere one could read about the birth of Novation? Things must've moved fairly quickly after the release of the MS800. What a frikkin co-incidence. I listen to one track off the Cheetah EP by Aphex almost daily and I have an AFX Station on order.. by Novation.

I bought one of these when they came out. It was one of the cheapest synthesisers at the time. They said it was a wavetable synth not unlike the PPG Wave. I got it back to my studio and it didn't work correctly. The operating system was very complex to use. Also I found the original unit I had was so noisy. I had it sent back to Cheetah and they never returned it. I got a full refund and never saw them for sale again after that.

Thank-you, that is a really good overview.

Thanks for this amazing video. I'd love to have a set of raw WAV set of waveforms so I can make a wavetable for my Blofeld synthesizer! I look forward to the next part!

[@Loscha]

Sorry, I realized I asked the exact same thing in your prior video. Didn't mean to Nag. Keep up the good work!

@@Loscha Hi! Writing you 3 years later :) Did you succeed? Please can you send them to me if you did. ([e-mail])

[@SweetChinMuzik1]

Very cool and super interesting. Any chance of releasing those waveforms? I'd really love to get them into my samplers

[@meangene408]

Was this designed by perverts to cause pain?
