    Let’s route the LFO to the filter!

  • Sissi Albert Moog

    Sissi Albert Moog

    Sissy Albert Moog sits in the middle of a studio; quite appropriately, she sits atop a Moog semi-modular unit. We also see an Arturia MicroFreak, and offerings from Roland, Behringer, Dreadbox, Doepfer, Tiptop Audio, Elektron and more.

    My Home Studio (in progress) with Sissi Albert Moog 😺😊

    We at CatSynth think the studio is coming along quite nicely.

  • Orion in the Studio

    Orion in the Studio

    Orion joins us again. He’s doing scratch’n’roll in front of a tower of synths including a Waldorf Quantum (a unit we at CatSynth have lusted after), a Linnstrument, Sequental P6, AMS Hydrasynth Desktop, and more. It looks like they have also installed the Serge panels from this previous post into the larger studio setup.

    Borris proudly shows off his Teisco Synthesizer 110F. Submitted by Edda Jayne Hill via our Facebook page.

    Borris posing with his fave synth.

    He is very proud that he can operate it and get crazy sci-fi sounds from this thing, the other day he made it sound like a cat meowing 😸

    We at CatSynth would love to hear some of Borris’ patches.

    The Teisco S110F is a two-oscillator analog synthesizer released by Kawaii (under their Teisco brand) in 1980. It is a classic-style subtractive analog synth with resonant VCF, a high-pass filter and the usual envelopes, LFO, and sample-and-hold for modulation.

    Saruman, Yamaha CS-30, Yamaha DX7, Casio SK-1

    Saruman returns, this time playing vintage Yamaha CS-30 and DX7 synthesizers. The SK-1 from some of his previous appearances is also here.

  • Satie and Modular (Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Bafaco, Intellijel)

    Satie and Modular (Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Bafaco, Intellijel)

    Satie returns this time with a fancy modular system featuring modules from Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Bafaco, and Intellijel. The “David Lynch” panel is a nice touch as well.

    This time via the Instagram page of Satie and his human Antoine Marroncles. You can see his previous appearances via this tag.

  • Orion and Eurorack Serge (Random*Source)

    Orion and Eurorack Serge (Random*Source)

    Orion the gray tuxedo cat sits behind a Eurorack serge modular system with numerous patch cables.

    Orion shows off a complex patch on a Eurorack Serge system featuring modules by Random*Source. From Justin Sullivan (@justin3am) on Twitter.

    We at CatSynth have long been curious about those Serge modules from Random*Source as a way of exploring Serge-style modular synthesis in more detail. The underlying premise is building up complexity from very simple building blocks like slope generators.

  • Milo and Buchla modules

    Milo has appeared several times on CatSynth – you can see all his appearances via this tag. Although he is a tuxedo cat, from this angle he looks entirely black. Either way, we know he and his human are going to have a lot of fun with this new modular system.
