CatSynth video: NI Maschine + MS Surface Pro demo (Windows 8 tablet for music production)
From acemonvw on YouTube, via matrixsynth. The discussion of the interaction between the Maschine and the Surface Pro went through several revisions and updates. Here is an excerpt from the most recent:
If you’re interested in knowing, I have since studied Maschine and the Surface Pro and find they work pretty well together. I have had much fewer hangups since switching to the ASIO driver. I also found that a few services were causing issues randomly 1) Windows Modules Installer Worker, 2) WMI provider host, and 3) System. System was strange in that it was at about 30% CPU forever. Maschine only took up 10% CPU when running using 2 reaktors, 1 massive, and one Kontakt. Pretty impressive actually!
Yes, the levels seem to be off, I just wanted to experiment with
Maschine and the Surface Pro…My cat Bonnie was enjoying the process too
We think Bonnie was actually rather indifferent to the whole thing 🙂

“Savu prefers the Ensoniq sound!”
There are actually some Ensoniq sounds that I miss, though I was able to re-create most of them in E-MU Emulator X.
If you have cat-and-gear photos, you can submit them to us via our Facebook page, tweet us @catsynth or contact us.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Modernist Poses
Luna has long been comfortable in her modernist surroundings, at it is a common subject of her weekend visits to CatSynth. In the photo above, she is striking one of her attention-getting cute poses against the circular geometry of the rug and the angular lines of the glass table.
In those photo, she has a more elegant pose, the classic “reclining cat” from many works of art. But she also has a little bit of attitude and disdain her expression, probably directed towards me for snapping pictures.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by Ritzi iInfidel.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
