Meet PixL, who debuts with a couple of very stylized photos. This first one features PixL atop a Moog synthesizer (specific ID left as an exercise to the reader). This next picture includes an E-MU SP-12 drum machine, a Yamaha TG-33, and more. From burnsfield_art on Instragram.
There’s a new kid in town.
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.
From hshmodular on Instagram. They also introduced us to Toulouse in this previous post.
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
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
