CatSynth pics: Korg MS-20 with KORG 35 Filter & Synth Cat
Via matrixsymth:
Currently listed for sale here. “This vintage MS20 is THE MS20 to buy if you’re looking for an original Korg 35 filter version in both great physical and functional shape for a very reasonable price and shipped from WITHIN THE US, NOT JAPAN, WITH US VOLTAGE! As said earlier, this MS20 has the original Korg 35 filter circuit chips (no screw/daughterboard in the VCA section, front panel has the more grey-ish hue than the later versions, which typically have a more jet black-ish hue). It’s in great physical condition for its age, with only minor surface blemishes, and no missing parts, broken parts, major dents, or major damage. The only flaw I can think of is a very small chip out of the bottom of one of the keys (not visible when viewed from above; doesn’t affect function). There is also a vintage sticker on the right end cap, which could be easily removed…”

In addition to the Akai AX60, there is a Yamaha electric organ, ostensibly a YC-45D.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Listening Intently.
During yesterday’s rainy morning, Luna sat with me as I listened to the final master for Reconnaissance Fly’s new album. I snapped this close-up with the iPad. She was so calm and poised. And she did listen to the music. I think her favorite track was Oh Goldfinch Cage, not just because of the subject matter, but because its timbral texture is quite different from anything else on the album, with more isolated percussion and sound effects. Lots of things to perk up both cat and human ears.

We have a couple of photo theremins here at CatSynth HQ, maybe I can convince Luna to try playing one?

CatSynth video: Make Noise MMG Jam with Kitten
From grillobeats on YouTube via matrixsynth.
“Now that I have a kitten, it’s become basically impossible to jam on my modular synthesizer. featuring mfb triple osc, peg, doepfer 132, make noise rene and my new mn MMG”
Lots of familiar modules in this one. The kitten seems particularly interested in the Make Noise Rene. I actually haven’t tried out the MMG yet but now I’m curious.

CatSynth pic: Video the Cat and Toy Piano
Video the cat returns, this time with a toy piano. Submitted by The Wiggly Tendrils via catsynth.
And yes, the toy piano is technically not a synth, but it’s an instrument of which we are quite fond.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Cuteness
The third show of “Three Show Weekend” is coming up in a few hours. It’s been a busy week, not just with the shows but also rehearsals and work. But I still make quite a bit of time for Luna. And who wouldn’t when confronted with an ultra-cute guilt trip like this.
Luna has perfected her cute poses and guilt trips, especially over the past year. And she knows it works. It doesn’t prevent me from getting to work in the morning, but it does sometimes make me a few minutes late.
