i play an octave cat from time to time and i like it too.
the problem is that the cat was available in three versions.
the first one had a discrete filter with a fat sound,
but bad tracking. the second version had a ssm2040-based
filter, which was replaced by an ssm2044 in the third version.

i believe that the version i know has the ssm2040 inside.
it has a very sharp peaking resonance and has to be adjusted
very carefully.

a ssm2044 filter is already available (a105) and i don't
see the necessity for another filter clone which
sounds just a bit different than something which is
already available. for me it would be much more interesting
to have a filter with a really different sound,
for example the polivoks filter.

just my 2 cents.

best wishes
