    “VELVET VOYAGE – “MiniMoog Voyager OS …just a first check…” – by Bruno Ender Lee, September 9. 2011

    MiniMoog Voyager (Old School) with a bit delay
    …and of course a little help from out cat Eumel… :-)”

  • CatSynth pic: Maplin ETI4600 Synth

    Originally from this auction, via matrixsynth, where you can see additional pictures.

    The description from the auction (below), is worth a quick read.

    “Firstly, this is NOT a synthesiser. It’s a machine for travelling through time and space – sideways. Transport yourself to the far flung corners of the universe and beyond. For some of you, it may be a one way ticket…

    As is often the case with these rare beasts, a lot of work initially needed doing. Jim at ‘Singing Cat Services’ has been a godsend, performing shamanic rewiring rituals, voodoo based calibration and much cat orientated strangeness…

    … So, if you’re looking to recreate the BBC radiophonic workshop, or have just got too old to drop acid, this is the tool for you!

    In short, a delicious slice of history.”

    Neon Indian – Step Into the World With Your PAL198X from Neon Indian on Vimeo.

    The cat appears a little over three minutes into the video and “plays” the PAL198X. But I recommend checking out the whole video – it has very complete retro style.

  • CatSynth video: elka synthex demo by polynominal.com

    In the midst of our busy performance/exhibition week, a little light fun with cats and synthesizers:

    From polynominal.com on YouTube, home of Mimi. Look for some appearances by Mimi in the video (including a couple of photos that have previously appeared here on CatSynth.

    If you have your own cat-and-gear photo or video to share, let us know via facebook, twitter @catsynth, or by contacting us directly.

  • CatSynth video: IPad, TouchOSC, Buchla 200e demo.

    From legionhwp on YouTube, via matrixsynth.

    This is an instructional demo from the blog: Http://SynthandI.blogspot.com

    The first half of this explains what is needed to connect an IPad running a midi controller App (in this case TouchOSC) to the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer. The second half of this video show a bit about the patch I made in TouchOSC and discussed the possibilities for further exploration.”

    Watch for the cat at the beginning of the video.

    That is one happy cat.  I probably would be, too, with, access to that many Buchla synths.

  • CatSynth pic: Cat and Modular

    Submitted by Briana Jones via our Facebook page.

    I see a Doepfer modular.  Can anyone identify anything else?

  • Getting ready for today’s performance – noise synth

    While preparing for today’s μ-hausen at Camp Happy performance in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I snapped this Hipstamatic iPhone photo of the custom noise synth created by Travis Johns that I will be using.

    I think the noisy and somewhat unpredictable quality of some of the Hipstamatic algorithims fits perfectly with this instrument. (Though I do wish the Hipstamatic did a better job of focusing.)

    Also in use will be the Wicks Looper, the DSI Evolver, the iPad and the monome.

  • CatSynth Video: System 100 Brains & René

    From Ebotronix on YouTube, via matrixsynth.

    “Roland System 100 (101&102)”

    I am guessing René is the cat.

    If you have your own Cat + Music videos or photographs, you can submit them by contacting us, via facebook, or twitter.
