Via Paul Appliancide on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge.
I only know “Klee” to refer to the artist Paul Klee, whose work I admire. I was not familiar with the Klee sequencer module until now. It looks pretty intense.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Fun with Highway Signs
My eccentric long-standing fascination with numbered highways has long been reflected on this site. Here we see Luna contemplating a couple of our most recent sign acquisitions.
So what exactly do we do with these? Well, besides just the human tendency to collect things of interest, I have used signs in artwork, photography, video and I am now expanding into more modes of live performance. Mostly, dealers advertise these as “perfect for your man cave”, something which does not interest us at CatSynth in any way. For Luna, they are just more strange objects that pass through her territory. And great neck scratchers.
CatSynth video: Yamaha DX7 DEMO RISE OF AN UNKNOWN
From paul mungru on YouTube, via matrixsynth. Spot the kitten!
The DX7 a sonic legend. I have made this synthesizer my project for over 20 years. They said it was impossible to program. They were wrong. Its different but once you know the major sound shapers.
There is no pure synth in history that can surpass what a DX7 can do straight from its own engine. As always 100% DX7 sounds.
I still have a Yamaha TX81Z and TX802 in the studio, but rarely if ever used these days. Part of it is the tedium of programming, though a good editor/librarian can take care of that. It would be interesting to combine the TX81Z and analog synths in the same composition, something that was rarely if ever done in the 1980s.

For full contest details visit: http://www.keithmcmillen.com/QuNexus/contest.
Coincidentally, I just acquired a QuNexus, but I don’t think I will be participating in the video content. But if you have one, you should. And if your entry includes a cat, send it our way (either via the contact button or leaving a comment here) and we’ll repost it 🙂

“That cat has one nice Yamaha CS30L.”
Note the box on floor for both “Micro Moog” (sp) and Moog Prodigy.
Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: At Home
It’s been a while since Luna has made an appearance on CatSynth, a situation that is entirely my fault. But today we start to correct that with some photos of Luna over the past month.
I am happy to report that Luna is doing fine. The same busy-ness that has limited my posts here has sometimes meant less time to spend with her. And Luna does her part to make sure I feel solidly guilty about this.
When I am home, we do spend as much time together as we can, including relaxing together. This usually features copious amounts of cuddling and purring.
She can sometimes make it difficult for me to get up and do other things.
And of course, there is napping and sleeping. She is a cat after all. One recent day when she was exceptionally sleepy, I was able to tuck her into the covers for this cute picture.
I do hope to make this visits with Luna a regular feature again, along with the backlog of reviews and other posts in the queue. Such is life at this moment.
