I had a feeling that this looked…familiar. Well, turns out I was correct, we originally posted it back in 2007 under the title “EmmeSynth”. (That was nearly three years ago, wow!). From the original post:

“That’s Aki, he’s on the Arp 2600. As for the modules, a little bit of everything- Metasonix, 4MS, Malekko/Wiard, Make Noise, The Harvestman, FoH, …. and even a little bit of Buchla in front of the 2600.”

CatSynth video: francesca in synth

From FOCtv on YouTube:

“auto-un-installation of girl-cat module”

Among the cutest cat-and-synth videos I have seen so far 🙂

Can anyone identify the any of the modules?
(UPDATE: thanks to prophei for identifying the synthesizers.com modules)

UPDATE: we actually featured Francesca back in 2007.

I believe we have seen seen this picture with the actual cat before. Additionally, the spec sheet contains the blank patch diagram that I have occasionally used for the Octave CAT.
