Weekend Cat Blogging: Rainy Saturday (Hipstamatic and Instagram)

It’s a miserable rainy and windy Saturday here in San Francisco. Perfect weather for turning inward, and curling up for naps.

I took a couple of photos of Luna sleeping with Hipstamatic and Instagram. Which one is which?

For those who use Instagram, we can be found there at “catsynth”.

On a non-cat related note, I encourage visitors to check out our Reconnaissance Fly album demo, with three free tracks.

Weekend Cat Blogging #356 is hosted this weekend by Smudge, Coco and Patchouli at Pam’s Sidewalk Shoes.

The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.

And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Weekend Cat Blogging #355

We at CatSynth are happy to be hosting Weekend Cat Blogging #355. It’s actually quite a busy weekend, with Spring Open Studios and sundry activities. So the round-up won’t be posted until Sunday. But in the meantime, please do submit your cat-related posts via comments, via our facebook page, or tweet us @catsynth, and we will include you.

And so now let us get on with the round-up. It’s a small and intimate group so far this weekend, but we appreciate our participants all the same.

First up, Nikita and Elvira have been busy Remodeling their New HQ: The FNN Center. It features a multi-story cat tower as well as space for quiet contemplation. Check out the pictures. They also have a naming contest.

Elvira is also reaching new heights as a result of the placement of the new cat tower. Looks like fun, though I personally get a bit nervous when Luna gets up in high places.

I love this picture of Jules and Vincent peering over the balcony as they enjoy the first days of spring. It sounds like it has been a rainy start to the season in Alabama, just as it has been for us here in California.

Somewhere in between those two locations, our friends Samantha, Clementine and Maverick share share wordless portraits. Actually, there is a fourth portrait as well: a mysterious shadow. Who could that be?

We will continue to add folks to the round-up later today, so please keep your submissions coming. And thanks to everyone who participated.

CatSynth Video: The Tiger Synth Demo

The Tiger Synth VSTi some sound examples are single patches performed skillfully by Dimitri Schkoda plus some shorter ones by HGF
Only one patch used with each example showing you can have a wide variety of sound from fairly straight to really complex ones. with the enhanced realtime control options this is a real performance synth suiting many needs.
have fun

The video has a retro movie sort of feel, does it not?

Weekend Cat Blogging: The Blue Glass

This weekend, we are feeling a bit festive. Here are some Hipstamatic photos of Luna with a blue cocktail glass. Perfect for a Manhattan or catnip.

Luna is curious about the glassware, which fits the overall CatSynth HQ design concept.

Actually, Luna is a shy cat, and like most cats she is fiercely territorial and prefers to keep an eye on things from the upstairs balcony whenever we have guests.   She often seems relieved when they finally go home.

Speaking of festive, Weekend Cat Blogging #354: St. Patrick’s Day Edition is hosted by our Texas friends Samantha, Clementine and Maverick.

The Carnival of the Cats will be up today at Mind of Mog.

And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
