Via matrixsynth. Cat is lounging in the background.
Looks like the minimoog was for sale on auction and got snatched up pretty quickly.
Synthesizers

Another from The Wiggly Tendrils via our Facebook page.
Rocking out with my cat “Video.” She likes to chase my head phone and guitar cables while I dance around. There’s a Korg Mono/Poly in the background.
CatSynth pic: Video on a Wurlitzer Electric Piano
“Video” the Cat takes a stroll on a Wurlitzer 200e electric piano. Submitted by The Wiggly Tendrils via our facebook page.
One may argue that a Wurlitzer electric piano isn’t a “synthesizer” per se. But electromechanical pianos (Wurlitzer and Rhodes) are among my favorite instruments and feline pictures with them are always welcome here!
Me too. I bought this one in Oshkosh Wisconsin years ago at the music store that time forgot. The guy was renting them out to piano students who didn’t have pianos at home. (their original purpose) I eventually talked him into selling me one. I love it. I also briefly had a Yamaha CP-70 but had to sell it when I moved from Philly to Berkeley.

CatSynth Video: Arp Odyssey Strange noises and drones, using sample and Hold modulations
From our friends at polynominal.com, another video featuring images of Mimi. The modulated sounds are quite interesting as well – lots of rich noisy timbres.

CatSynth video: PHOENIX – Love Like A Sunset Sound (nearly)
By KidsAtMidnight on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
PHOENIX – Love Like A Sunset Sound (nearly)
Was supposed to be working on new track (and feeding the cat) but got sidetracked by the MoogerFoogers. Found a sound a bit like the mad glissando CS80 at the start of Love Like A Sunset so tried to work out the part a bit. Stole the Marimba-like bit from the Multitrack they put online.
Arthur (cat) was just hungry and attention seeking. He’s not normally too bad a chewer. Mind you, I did find all but one knob from my Digi002 in the hallway once. Bad boy …

The Evolver is a particular favorite here at CatSynth. Always great to see it make an appearance with the cats.
CatSynth video: The Scanimate
Moog Little Phatty and the Scanimate
From experimentalsynth on YouTube, via matrixsynth where you can read more and see more images. A cute black cat makes a cameo appearance during the video 🙂
“The first attempt at controlling analog video animation with control voltage created by a Moog synthesizer. Learn more at www.scanimate.com and www.experimentalsynth.com”
“Scanimate is a 100% analog video animation system in use form the late 60s to early 80s. It was used on a number of popular films & TV shows including, Star Wars, Logan’s Run, Sesame Street & NBC Sports. Only eight were built and they originally sold for around $1,000,000.”
It’s interesting to consider in the context of the recently released LZX analog video modular synthesizer.
