    Thanks so much for making this very useful comparison

    There are pretty easy modifications that can be done for the Tom Cat, like individual outputs and individual controls for the open and closed hihats and deep sustain for the bassdrum... I have them on my tomcat and it plays a lot nicer now.

      Where did you get your mods? Would love to do the same. Individual outs is a plus.

    Sounds pretty good! I like the snare coz it has body, but still goes: "PSSSHHHH!"

      Yes it gives a good hard slap to the eardrums 🤗

    The sounds that the Tom Cat make, makes it better to be used as a synth than a drum machine.......

    Great video! hey, it's not just your Rhythm Wolf that is noisy. Mine is way noisiest than my Tom Cat.

    I like this better than the wolf. You would still think some more snare options, like snip snap and klick. Thanks for demo!

    • @rejectedsynths

      In direct comparsion, it probably is the better machine, but for me the Wolf somehow has the more distinctive sound

      Wolf has such a deep subby kick. The individual out for the synth is much needed to route out to effects. Otherwise they’re quite similar. The Wolf seems to be a better tool for me but I have both for fun. Pair with a drumbrute impact for crazy polyrhythms and you have a fun live drum rig with two easy to use interfaces. I use the kick from the drumbrute individual outs to trigger sidechain compression. House goodness my friends. 😀

    Great demo of a very perplexing drum synth.

    In Mexico, a person sells me this drum machine for 200 usd.
    I don't know if it's worth it since it cost approximately 150 euros in 2015
    but because it is too rare and really very particular.
    I think I will encourage myself to buy it, I don't think I have a chance like this.

    • @Decoy303

      I wouldn't. It's a static drum synth and you can do so much better with your money; especially right now with the Roland Aira Compact TR8

      You're very much welcome! It's always nice to hear one of those stray cats has found a new and loving home 😸

    Really great. but why don't you explain the function of the tie button in your video, i think it's the most important function on the devices tom and wolf

    • @rejectedsynths
      @rejectedsynths  2 роки тому

      Tie? Do you mean sequen e variation?

    • @SOULDIY
      @SOULDIY 2 роки тому

      I mean the butten with the name ,,tie

    • @SOULDIY
      @SOULDIY 2 роки тому

    • @SOULDIY
      @SOULDIY 2 роки тому +1

      But its only possible for the ,,synth,, or the ,,toms,, (wolf , cat)

    Why can't I find one of these ANYWHERE. There 0 on Reverb or Ebay. If anyone has one they'd like to sell please DM me

    • @rejectedsynths

      Ebay runs a popular classifieds here in Europe, they aren't super common here either, but there are usually one or two machines for sale on that site. Maybe some other viewer can help you find one in the States. Maybe also ask people over at the Bad Gear video of the Tom Cat. As Bad Gear is hugely more popular than this humble channel, many more people are probably going to see it there 😉

    its like the wolf is the cheap 808, and the cat is the cheap 909?

      I guess youn could say that was the marketing team's idea 😅

    Interesting bit of kit, I like the flexibility of the tom sounds but I'm not convinced by it. Nice vid though. Love the psychedelic backgrounds, what do you use to do them?

      It's called ProjectM, it's an open source project stemming from WinAmp visualizer Milkdrop 😋
