    Gerty is back and helping out in the studio. Submitted by Brandan Heartworm Yoshiro-Taylor via our Facebook page.

    My Executive Producer is not happy with how things are progressing with this upcoming release…

    We at CatSynth are confident things will progress more to Gerty’s liking in the near future. Just look at that sweet face 😻

    7 toes, that’s “Poly-polydactyl” 😸

    Dahlia and 1010music Blackbox

    The beautiful Dahlia returns, this time sitting under the desk with a 1010music Blackbox portable sampling synthesizer and sundry audio gear. From our friend Rob Robinson via Facebook.

    She is the true wizard of the studio, if any magic happens at all it’s because of her. 🙂

  • Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

    Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

    Black and white cat standing on a covered synthesizer and keenly inspecting the patch bay on an Arturia MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer.  Next to her head is a small modular setup with modules from several manufacturers.

    It’s rare that Sam Sam ever gets up on one of the synth desks, so when she did I rushed to snap some photos. This was the best one, with her standing on our vintage Octave CAT (safely covered) and inspecting the Arturia MiniBrute and RackBrute modular setup.

    A full account of synth brands in this photo can be found in the tags.

    This cat has found a nice napping spot on the desk near a Behringer Model D synthesizer and a CME UF 80 controller keyboard. And the orange towel suggests this is a regular spot.

    From Patrick Summey on Facebook, who assures us that “she is a fixture” 😺

    It turns out the Keks means “biscuits” in German.
