| Notes | This is something of a rarity. The Halle Cat was designed as a Copicat with combined 4-channel mixer. Originally fitted with a continuous loop Phillips CE10 cassette which caused problems from the outset. Modified to use a more conventional tape loop. This model was not a commercial success and was soon withdrawn. "Too expensive - too complicated" - Charlie Watkins. The Halle cost £250 in 1975 when the standard Copicat cost £76. Halle means echo in German and the name is also a play on words with 'alley cat'. |
