A captivating jam featuring our pals Grady (the cat) and Doug Llewellyn (@doug_whowever on Instagram). They play a Les Paul guitar through the Lost + Found pedal from Chase Bliss. It has some intriguing effects that harken back to earlier eras of experimental electronic music.
Cats
Cat playing microKORG
We see a cat playing a microKORG. As a smaller synthesizer, it can’t quite handle the cat’s weight.
We also see an unusual all-white MS-20 and Moog Sub Phatty among other instruments and gear.
From @landonbalk on Instagram, who adds:
He makes custom patches that get used in every one of my songs.
We will definitely have to check out their music!

Gerty aKa Gertimus Prime aKa Mr. Beans is all “chuffed” about the An electribe called quest practice sessions…
Gerty is certainly dapper in these photos!

Grady plays us a riff on his Arturia Keystep. We also see a classic Evolver from Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential).

Cat Petting Guide PCB
A “cat petting guide” on a PCB board for a modular synth.
From Jolinlab on Instagram. You can see their various synth offerings on their website.
I’m not sure which one has the cat PCB, but I suspect it’s the new Avalith instrument.
Spotted by our friend Alexandra from Eternal Research (makers of the Demon Box that we featured on CatSynth TV).
DJ Pöpö, Modular, and Behringer RD-8
DJ Pöpö plays us a beat with a modular synth and a Behringer RD-8 drum machine.

Buddy is my rescue cat. I adopted him from the animal shelter. As you can see he is totally relaxed and at home.
Coraline and Roland Space Echo RE-201
Coraline stands proudly atop a vintage Roland Space Echo RE-201. Her little skeleton stuffed kitty is cute, too.
Coraline is the official cat of Calsynth, a maker of modular synthesizers based right here in California! We also occasionally get requests about them, given that our respective names are just one letter off.
