▶ R.I.P. Chris Huggett creator of the Caterpiller, Gnat, OSCar, Spider, Wasp (plus a series of synths for Novation like the Bass Station and the Peak) A number of products were also announced but never actually produced including the Flea, which was to have been a cheaper version of the Spider and some monstrosity called the Playing Mantis. Chris expands: “There was also the Eagle — after the insect range we were going to move onto – the bird range! It was a kind of synthesizer spacecraft on paper. You went inside a module and played yourself out landing on the Moon. I left before things got to this point, I’m pleased to say.”
