Noise Cat (Line 6, Digitech, Boss)
Sasa gets ready to perform a noise set with pedals from Digitech, Boss and Line 6. From Mark Wilson via Facebook.
Of the three pedals, I am most familiar with the Line 6 DL 4 delay pedal. It was my go-to for many years for delay and loops, even acting as an extra oscillator when the feedback was turned up. One memorable show with the DL 4 was performing Polly Moller Springhorn’s piece Flip Quartet at Book Zoo in Oakland, one of a few times I played it.

Wordless Wednesday: Tassajara Schoolhouse
The one-room schoolhouse in Tassajara, California. This was a great photography subject, with the original (shot on an Canon EOS 60D) processed using the Hipstmatic iOS app.
We compiled 87 of these Hipstamatic versions (along with the original) to create an experimental music video. Enjoy!

SOMA Laboratory Lyra 8
This cat has found a nice warm napping spot atop a SOMA Laboratory Lyra 8. Submitted by Robin Hill via our Facebook page.
We at CatSynth are quite intrigued by the instruments coming out SOMA Laboratory, who are based in Russia and Poland – not our neighborhood of San Francisco. They seem quite original and inventive.
Welcome to the world of sound of LYRA-8, the unique organismic analogue synthesizer designed by Vlad Kreimer. “Organismic” means that LYRA uses some principles that lie in the base of living organisms. The way how LYRA’s modules interacting between each other and the behaviour of the instrument resembles a live conversation.

Serum, BeatStep Pro, Eurorack, Strymon Big Sky…
A cat sits in the command char or a small studio featuring the Serum wavetable software synthesizer, a large Eurorack system, an Arturia BeatStep Pro, Strymon Big Sky, and more. We are particularly curious about that small device with the grid of purple buttons. The cat, on the other hand, looks ready for a nap.

Wordless Wednesday: Smokey Rose Light
The massive wildfires burning today in Northern California gave our morning sunlight a beautiful rosy hue. But the air is quite smokey. Sending thoughts for all our friends in the surrounding areas and hope everyone stays safe.
