    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.

    Elektron Analog Four and Octatrack

    This cat has a pretty cool setup including an Elektron Analog Four – that’s one we don’t see as often – and an Octatrack. We also see a modular system, an FMR Really Nice Compressor, and the mixers and patch bays that are essential for any synth studio. From discotheque_sauvage on Instragram.

    This is not the first time we have featured discotech_sauvage, their cat, and their Elektron instruments. Check out this previous post.

    We’re now getting to the point where I can start to translate Spanish myself without resorting to Googlish.

    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:

  • Haku and Behringer CAT

    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.
