Cheetah and Modular
Cheetah is relaxing and enjoying the rhythms from the modular synth. From our friend @iamshadowdancer (Kim Cash) on Instagram.
Orion with Serge Panels, Make Noise, and More
Our friend Orion returns. This time the Serge Panels are fully operational and patched. We also see a set of standalone Make-Noise synths and controllers, a Focusrite interface, and more.

Fortunately, Orion has a good teacher if he wants to know more.
Wordless Wednesday: Kite
Gracie and ARP Quadra
Gracie stands up an ARP Quadra that is being restored. This is quite appropriate as Gracie is the quality engineer at Synthetic Dreamscapes and stands on everything they do 😺
In addition to the Quadra, we see a Roland TR-808, Oberheim OB-Xa, and several other classic instruments.

Sissi, Modular, Novation, and More
Sissi sits atop an impressive Eurorack modular system, with a Novation synth in front.
We last saw Sissi this summer. She has grown so much 😻
From nice_off_1 via Instagram. Watch her enjoying the beats (and getting pets) in this video. She is sitting atop a sequencer and next to a Roland TR-8.

Tweek and Satie, Modified Toy Piano, Modular
We’ve seen Tweek and Satie before on CatSynth, but I think this is the first time we have seen them together. Tweek is the tabby on the left and Satie is the gray on the right. Between them is a modified toy piano with springs and piezo microphone. The springs and the chamber of the toy piano make for some great resonance. And it is a purrfect input source for the modular system.

“Cat Synth” by Julia Makivic
This is so cool! The “Cat Synth” is a creative project by Julia Makivic that puts a simple electronic synthesizer inside a plush cat toy. From tink_punk via Instagram. Here it is in action, along with more photos.
Translated from Bosnian to “Google English”:
we can't wait for you to meet the instructor of our first workshop @juliamakivic on Saturday 💓Julia recently worked on an interesting CatSynth project in collaboration with researchers from the University of the Arts in London @ual_cci and we share her video and photos with you. In this project, alt controller designers (aka makers) are connected with people with disabilities to create an accessible video game interface/controller for them. Julia's Cat Synth helps a pregnant woman with autism who wanted to find a way to bond with her baby and ease anxiety during medical appointments. The CatSynth produces soothing sounds through a speaker located in the tail and has two modes: for motion and for touch. The touch was intended for moments when the pregnant woman felt tired and did not move much.
