Cats seem to just go together with the Stylophone Theremin. Here we see Clarita with one, from @datachild on Instagram via Stylophone’s official account.
We definitely need to get one of these here at CatSynth HQ!
You can see our recent review of the rare Stylophone Gen R-8 here.
From our friend and CatSynth TV superfan I Love Cats and Synths, we have a video featuring the beautiful Bella!
I was playing with the Matriarch arpeggiator when Bella stepped on the TEO-5 sequencer button and started it playing a preset sequence which actually went well with what I had going already. I added another arp from the Take 5 to round it out. My kitty is creative!
We found this gem via our friend Bill T Miller, a musician, engineer, filmmaker, photographer and kook. You can hear and download the track from his Bandcamp page.
We see several ARP instruments, including an early Odyssey and a 2600. We also see a Buchla modular system and a Eurorack modular system. Bill and Ziggy have a great setup.
You can find out more about Bill’s multi-faceted work via billtmiller.com.
Although we connected recently, via our mutual friend Dina Pearman-Ifil of the ARP Foundation, it turns out Ziggy was featured in this post several years ago.
Monty looks ready for his recording session with our friend Dave Newhouse.
Monty caught trying to lay down some keyboard tracks on the next album!
If Monty does lay down some keyboard tracks on the Nord, we at CatSynth will look forward to hearing them. Please check out our review of Dave Newhouse’s Natura Morta on CatSynth TV (if you haven’t already done so).
Poor Haku hadn’t been feeling well for a bit, but fortunately, he’s back to his energetic, curious self. Here we see him with a Blue Lantern Shimm module. This is a “shimmer” generator with several XOR functions, a cowbell sound generator, and a noise “sizzle” generator.
hanks to those who messaged me or sent well wishes for Haku. He’s good. Started doing better as soon as he was willing to start eating. He’s back to his curious self, jumping in to “help” as I shuffle modules between skiffs.
I gotta say, I always liked the look of Blue Lantern Modules. They can sometimes look too dense or too busy or a little inconsistent, but I still like the aesthetic. The look has personality instead of looking like so many others. I really like the look of these white modules in particular, and I love the knobs. Wonder if I can find more of these “power button” looking knobs for other modules.
