Oberheim (the cat) and JL Cooper Synapse MIDI router

Oberheim the cat is back, this time with a JP Cooper Synapse MIDI router and processor. From Charles Whiley via Facebook.

The JL Cooper routers were among the earlier MIDI devices I read about as I was understanding what is needed to go from one synthesizer to a home studio. I never did get one (not practical for me at that time in the late 1980s), but I still have the Digital Music Corp MX-8 that got later on to serve a similar purpose.

Zelda and Nord Modular G2

A very sweet picture of Zelda the cat sleeping atop a Nord Modular G2 engine. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.

I give you a picture of baby girl, deep in a dream state, while I make obnoxious squeaky sounds (how she manages to sleep to it I’ll never understand)

I have long been intrigued by the Nord Modular, though we don’t have one here at CatSynth HQ.
