The observation deck on the High Line above 10th Avenue in New York.
This was one of a series of Hipstamatic images taken on the High Line late last year. I assembled together into this silent video.

CatSynth Pic: Jackie and Knifonium

Exceptional synth under an exceptional pussy cat
We at CatSynth agree on both counts! Jackie is quite regal posing on the synth. And I had never heard of the Knifonium before, but upon visiting the website it sounds quite unique.
Knifonium is a 26 tube monophonic synthesizer with two oscillators, a 4th order ladder filter and a ring modulator.

Here is a demo of the Knifonium in action.

This cat (one of Mandy and Phoebe) is clearly fascinated by the motorized fader.
CatSynth Pic: Scout with Roland Juno 106, Dreadbox Hades, and more
Scout sits atop a vintage Roland synthesizer. We are pretty sure it’s a Roland Juno 106. In the back, we see a Dreadbox Hades, as well as offerings from Novation and Arturia. From Carl Peczynski via our Facebook page.
Wordless Wednesday: Fleischmann Pier

Last week’s Wordless Wednesday was also taken in Westchester County along the Hudson River.

Mojo the cat looks on as a musical performance with an Arturia Keystep and Moog Minitaur unfolds. He seems to quite enjoy it. Submitted by Bruce Oliver via our Facebook page.
Mojo was my little buddy for 17 years. He loved synth sounds but would vacate the room if you picked up a guitar!
CatSynth Pic: Dexter and LinnDrum
Dexter sits atop a vintage LinnDrum. Quite a prize of an instrument for feline and human alike! From Peter Fitzpatrick via our Facebook page.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Big Merp
This weekend, we check in with Big Merp.
He’s definitely enjoying indoor-outdoor life as a pet cat. Most, though, just wants to chill out. And, he loves his food.
With the dreary weather of late, we certainly can’t blame him for spending time indoors, and we are glad that he has a place where he is safe and loved. But he does like to go outside when there is a break in the weather, patrol the neighborhood, and find his friend Hissy.
We hope you are all having a good weekend, and staying warm and dry.
CatSynth Pic: Kasey, Roland, and Arturia
Kasey finds a comfy spot between a Roland Plug-Out system, Roland modules, and an Arturia Beatstep Pro. Submitted by Chris Bentley via our Facebook page.
Kasey the cat. Passed away at the age of 19 back in August 2017 but used to love to hang out on my desk while I was tinkering in the studio.
We are very sorry to hear of Kasey’s passing, and our hearts go out to Chris as the rest of Kasey’s family. A wonderful studio cat who lived a long and loved life 💕
