Handsome Toulouse sits atop a modular system featuring modules from a wide variety of makers, including Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Noise Engineering, Expert Sleepers, Wrong Electronics (the intriguing-liking Vector Space module in the lower left). From hshmodular, who also has a series going into detail on several of the modules on their Instagram. Check it out!

Pumpkin, Roland System 100, TR-808, Arp Odyssey, Korg MS-10
Pumpkin has an impressive set of vintage synthesizers, including the Roland System 100 modular, Roland TR-808 drum machine, ARP Odyssey, and Korg MS-10. From Lowfish on Twitter.
This is the setup for the track “c100” on the forthcoming Lowfish album “Grey With Breaks.” Pumpkin (my cat) gets ZERO credit for her contributions to this record. You can pre-order the limited edition “cloudy grey” LP version from Bleep here:
Please check out their new album. And we at CatSynth are here to recognize Pumpkin’s contributions.
Haku and Behringer CAT
It’s always extra fun to have a “CatSynth Pic” with a “Cat Synth”. Haku inspects the Behringer CAT, a remake of the infamous Octave CAT. From eriksuperlazy on Instagram.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before this photo happened. And as usual, Haku tried to chew the knobs.

We at CatSynth have both the Behringer CAT and the original. You can see our demo/tutorial of the original here.
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.
Chinook and Moog Opus 3
Chinook is checking out his latest patch on the Moog Opus 3 by playing a low D. Submitted by Andy Excuse via our Facebook page.
We also have a more styled version of the photo.
The Opus 3 may not be the most well-known of Moog’s classic instruments, but it is a great little synth and very accessible, with separate sections for Strings, Brass, and Organ, each with its own Moog-style VCF. It’s been used by some famous bands we admire, including Kraftwerk and Stereolab.
Satie and Modular (Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, more)
Satie is once again posing handsomely atop his modular system – or rather, a modular that he shares with his fellow feline Tweek. In this view, we can see offerings from Mutable Instruments and Make Noise, and glimpses of others behind the nest of patch cords.

Behringer DeepMind 12
This cat has found a nice warm nook behind the Behringer DeepMind 12 synthesizer. Above (and mostly out of view) are a Sequential Prophet 8 and Roland TR8S.

Bucky and Modular
Bucky poses handsomely next to an impressive modular system. We see many familiar modules, including Mr. Grassi, the Rossum Panharmonium, Erica Synths, Mordax DATA, and more. Bucky is certainly going to have some fun exploring these modules.

Are we doing cats and synths, is that a thing here? Let’s go!
Meet Buckminster aka “Bucky”!
He also has a sister who I’ll introduce soon.

“Cats and synths” will always be a thing for us on every social-media platform, and we look forward to meeting Bucky’s feline sister.
