Some sad news today in the world of cats and synths. Oscar, the cat whose photo sitting inside a Moog modular went viral and delighted so many, has passed away. We at CatSynth extend our deepest condolences to Oscar’s family.

Casper stands proudly atop his Buchla 200 modular system and plays us a minimalist tune. He looks so contented.
