Cats

CatSynth Pic: Bowie in Amp

Bowie the cat found a nice hiding place in the back of this amp. Submitted by Thor Speeler via our Facebook page.

We at CatSynth wonder if he was named after that other Bowie.

CatSynth Pic: Sascha at Space Kitty

Meet Sascha, an adorable tuxedo cat in residence at Space Kitty in Seattle. Looking at their Facebook page, they have a rather impressive collection of synths. This photo only includes some of the rackmount and tabletop instruments, including several classic E-MU 1U modules and offerings from Roland and Korg.

CatSynth Pic: Lilli and TR-909 (on 9/10)

Lilli poses on a TR-909 drum machine for 909 Day. That was yesterday. We’re a little late to the party, but we’re happy to feature her today.

CatSynth Pic: Mystery Cat and Modular

Today we feature this handsome senior house panther with a modular system. It looks it might be a Moog modular! From Teh Autowitch via our Facebook page.

The Mystery Cat! He’s around 19 years old, deaf, and very helpful.

We wish the Mystery Cat more years to come is his long life!

CatSynth Pic: Ms Deucey in the Studio (Arturia, Roland, Korg, and more)

Meet Ms. Deucey, who has found a nice napping spot in between a Korg MS-20, white Arturia MicroBrute, a VK-8M from Roland, and something called “ATAK” 😸. Submitted by Elias Laughton via our Facebook page.

Here’s Ms Deucey, all of 13 years old, posing for the camera in my “pet free studio” 😬😬😬

Studios with cats are our favorite kind of “pet-free studio.”

Wordless Wednesday: Sam Sam, Sky, Shadow, and Minimoog

Sam Sam enjoys breakfast with window seating. I managed to capture this abstract moment with a partial reflection of the sky. The Minimoog looms behind her.

CatSynth Pic: Boris and Blofeld

Boris checks out a Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. Submitted by Edda Jayne Hill via our Facebook page.

A young and inquisitive Borris trying to work out the Blofeld.
I know he is more of an analogue cat tbh 😊

CatSynth Pic: Blixa and Sasha

Identification of the synths and other gear in this picture left as an exercise to the reader.

CatSynth Pic: Thala and Vintage Roland

Cute Thala plays with her human and a vintage Roland synthesizer. I’m pretty sure it’s an RS-09 Organ/String synthesizer.
