Synthesizers
Data, Cats, and Synths (Teenage Engineering, Korg, Sequential)
Our friends over at Cats on Synthesizers in Space recently posted this gem featuring Data and a variety of cats and synthesizers.
“There may be a correlation between cats and synthesizers. The need for more research is clearly indicated…”
There is a Korg Volca and a Teenage Engineering OP-1. I’m pretty sure the keyboard at the bottom is from Sequential.

Max/MSP, Nord Modular G2, and “Bendy Time Signatures”
This cat is quite relaxed between Max/MSP on the screen above and the Nord Modular G2 below, along with MIDI and audio interfaces from iConnectivity and Universal Audio, respectively. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.
get yourself a buddy who sticks around & chills no matter how bendy your time signatures get 😆❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We cat CatSynth couldn’t agree more 😻

Mina and Korg MS2000
Two beauties today: Mina the lovely black cat, and a vintage Korg MS2000 synthesizer. From synthguy on Instagram.
At least my synths are well guarded. Mina and the MS2000.
The MS2000 is a virtual analog instrument that combines the vintage sounds of the MS series (e.g., the MS-10, MS-20, MS-50) with an equally vintage industrial design, reminiscent of Korg’s 1970s keyboards. We know Mina and her human must have a lot of fun playing it.

The JD-Xi is a great little instrument with analog moding and a built-in vocoder. I wonder how well that works for cats?
Sascha in the Studio (Roland, Squarp Pyramid MK2 and more)
Sascha is back in the studio and ready for some attention. Behind him are the offerings from Roland and the Squarp Pyramid MK2 (to the left of Sasha’s rear).
From Neil Parker of Space Kitty, via Facebook.
I really need to get stuff done, pay some bills and this guy wants pets and head boops.
You can see more photos of Sascha and the late great Blixa via their tags.

We at CatSynth agree that cats make excellent oscillators.
