    Big Merp with Big Modular

    Brown and white cat posing in front of a very large modular synthesizer system with multiple cases.  Several patch cords are connecting modules between different cases.  This is also a camcorder sitting on the desk.

    Today, we feature our very own Big Merp, who is posing handsomely in front of our large modular synthesizer installation. Other bits of gear can be found on the desk, which is where we do many of our synthesizer video demos.

    The makers of all the modules are too numerous to list here, but we do list them in the tags.

    Cheetah and Modular

    Cheetah is ready to serenade us from atop his massive modular synth. We see modules from Cwejman, Make Noise, Grendel, AtoVproject, Fumana, 4ms, and more, all in a beautiful wooden case by Matthew Goike.

  • Big Merp on the Modular Desk

    Big Merp on the Modular Desk

    Big Merp loves attention and always wants to be where the action is. So it’s fairly common to find him on this spot between the MacBook Pro and the Modular system. And in this instance, he struck a particularly handsome pose 😻. You can see quite a few of our Eurorack modules, including our prized Metasonix yellow and silver tube modules in the upper left corner of the case, as well as many others that have appeared in our recordings and videos over the years. A full list of brands is in the tags.

    This is also where we shoot a lot of our hardware demo videos, so it often ends up cluttered. But we always make sure there is space because you never know when Merp is going to jump up and say hi.

    A beautiful black-and-white photo of a tabby cat in front of a modular system featuring modules from Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Mordax, and more. I do like alliteration, but we do also see interesting modules from Noise Engineering and 4ms.

  • Big Merp, Yamaha RX5, and Modular

    Big Merp, Yamaha RX5, and Modular

    Today we feature our very own Big Merp in the studio. He was assisting with our recent video on the Yamaha RX5 – specifically the “RX5USB” cartridge. We also one portion of our modular collection, including Metasonix modules, Rossum Morpheus, E350 Morphing Terrarium, Benjolin, Expert Sleepers, Sputnik Modular, Mordax, 4MS, Make Noise, Pittsburgh Modular, Koma Elektronik, 2hp, Folktek, and more.

    This is the video we were working on at the time.

    We also have a detailed tutorial for the RX5 itself

    Big Merp, Yamaha RX5, Modular

    Today we have CatSynth pics with our very own Big Merp, who loves to jump up on the desk. Here we see him with our Yamaha RX5 drum machine and our massive modular system. The Metasonix modules are easy to spot, as are the Make Noise modules. We also have MOTM, Rossum Electro-music, Sputnik modular, 4MS, Malekko, Folktek, Mordax, and more as we get into the second grouping in the distance. We also see a bit of the Arturia MiniBrute 2 and Moog Mother-32. A fuller accounting can be found in the tags.

  • Snowy and Modular

    Snowy and Modular

    Snowy has found a nice place to nap atop this impressive modular system. In addition to the TipTop Audio case, we see offerings from many module-makers: Music Thing Modular, Dreadbox, Qu-Bit, 4ms, Toppobrillo, Shakmat, WMD, Westlicht, and more.

    Really want to make some bleeps and bloops but don’t have the heart to move this sleepy fluffball.

    We at CatSynth can sympathize.

  • Luna and Modular (4MS and More)

    Luna and Modular (4MS and More)

    This is the gray Luna we met last year when she was hiding behind a Eurorack system. Here we see here sitting next to a similar system. From @panic_hardware via Twitter.

    My cat has resting bitch face

    Despite the sad visage, we are confident that Luna gets lots of Love. As for the modules themselves, we immediately recognize the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator with its distinctive ring of light, as well as the 4MS Tapographic delay right out front. The others will have to remain an exercise for the reader.

    guess who finally getting into eurorack?
