This cat has quite the collection in this Eurorack modular system. I see several modules that I have as well, including the Make Noise Maths, and 4ms Pingable Envlope Generator. I also have the outboard version of the Kenton MIDI->CV converter.
Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt with Luna: Promises
We have another exceptionally cute Instagram of Luna this week:

This is another instance of our morning ritual where I put on my shoes – indicating that I am probably about to leave – and Luna comes running over and rolls around on the rug. She clearly wants me to stay and play with her, but the best I can do is promise to come back later. This leads to a roundabout entry in this week’s Photo Hunt, where the theme is Promise.
The Saturday Photo Hunt is up, with the theme of Promise.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Nikita and Elvira.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
CatSynth video: makey makey midi with kitty
That is one patient cat! How would your cats react to this?
Via matrixsynth, where you can see additional videos. The Makey Makey is actually a board that maps any electrical signals into standard keyboard events.

OK, this may in fact be a train control console, but it’s interesting how much it looks like a synth or MIDI controller. It would be interesting to retrofit one of these to be a musical instrument.
Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna
Earlier this week, we had rehearsals at CatSynth HQ for my Thursday-night performance as the poetry-and-music duo “Pitta of the Mind.” And Luna was on hand to supervise and support.

Her annoyed expression has more to do with the camera flash than anything else. She was very curious and hung out with us during the rehearsal, which was great to see as she is usually quite shy. And of course, she is quite used to the strange sounds from the iPad and modular synth.
The show itself was great, and will be the topic of a separate post in the near future.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Samantha, Clementine and Maverick.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
