Whenever I see a Eurorack modular, I am curious about the modules I have never seen before. Â I certainly don’t have the “cat head” module yet!

CatSynth video: Phantom Cat (Club of the Knobs)
We’re back after a brief blogging hiatus, with more cats and synths.
From gaetano di giorgio on YouTube, via this post on matrixsynth where you can see more videos.
If you are not familiar with Club of the Knobs (and I wasn’t), you can find out more here.
CatSynth pic: Roland RS-101 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Strings Brass w/ Case
Handsome bengal cat poses next to a Roland synth that I had never heard of until now. Via matrixsynth.
“The Roland RS-101 is a 61 key string synth, which also includes a brass section. Being a string synth, it is fully polyphonic, but programability is limited. This is in pretty decent condition, and comes with a flightcase.”
Presumably, cat not included.

Via Paul Appliancide on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge.
I only know “Klee” to refer to the artist Paul Klee, whose work I admire. I was not familiar with the Klee sequencer module until now. It looks pretty intense.
CatSynth video: Yamaha DX7 DEMO RISE OF AN UNKNOWN
From paul mungru on YouTube, via matrixsynth. Spot the kitten!
The DX7 a sonic legend. I have made this synthesizer my project for over 20 years. They said it was impossible to program. They were wrong. Its different but once you know the major sound shapers.
There is no pure synth in history that can surpass what a DX7 can do straight from its own engine. As always 100% DX7 sounds.
I still have a Yamaha TX81Z and TX802 in the studio, but rarely if ever used these days. Part of it is the tedium of programming, though a good editor/librarian can take care of that. It would be interesting to combine the TX81Z and analog synths in the same composition, something that was rarely if ever done in the 1980s.

“To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of QuNexus, KMI is proud to announce the QuNexus Video Contest.

Coincidentally, I just acquired a QuNexus, but I don’t think I will be participating in the video content. But if you have one, you should. And if your entry includes a cat, send it our way (either via the contact button or leaving a comment here) and we’ll repost it 🙂
CatSynth pic: Schrödinger cat & the box (Yamaha CS30L)
From Hernán Baldi on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge.
“That cat has one nice Yamaha CS30L.”
Note the box on floor for both “Micro Moog” (sp) and Moog Prodigy.
