Boris & Natasha with Arturia MicroFreak

Meet adorable kittens Boris and Natasha! We see them posing here with an Arturia MicroFreak (complete with vocoder mic).

Submitted by Darren Douglas Danahy, the human of the late great Hookah the Cat, via our Facebook page.

Hello CatSynth, it’s been almost a year since we lost our keyboard playing cat Hookah, but a week ago we adopted Boris and Natasha. Today I let them in the music room and they are ALL ABOUT IT.

We at CatSynth welcome Boris and Natasha to their new forever home, and look forward to seeing more of them in the future.

Gerty, Arturia MiniBrute, Korg Duo Monotron, MS-20

Gerty is back, this time with an Arturia MiniBrute, Korg Duo Monotron, and Korg MS-20. Plus a guitar and a cool Tie-Fighter model.

Couldn’t figure out whether Gerty approved of the weirdo synth recordings i’m working on, then he gave me this face. I know that face, whatever the species it comes from…

Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

Black and white cat standing on a covered synthesizer and keenly inspecting the patch bay on an Arturia MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer. Next to her head is a small modular setup with modules from several manufacturers.

It’s rare that Sam Sam ever gets up on one of the synth desks, so when she did I rushed to snap some photos. This was the best one, with her standing on our vintage Octave CAT (safely covered) and inspecting the Arturia MiniBrute and RackBrute modular setup.
