The lovely Chihiro poses with a Novation AFX Station and plays it, too. From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram).
Chihiro decided to join me in celebrating International Synthesizer Day by playing glissando with her face on the AFX Station. She also worked the pitch & mod wheels. 😹🎹
Today, we feature our very own Big Merp, who is posing handsomely in front of our large modular synthesizer installation. Other bits of gear can be found on the desk, which is where we do many of our synthesizer video demos.
The makers of all the modules are too numerous to list here, but we do list them in the tags.
Today marks the centenary of Miles Davis’ birth. The music of Miles has brought us at CatSynth much pleasure and inspiration over these years. He was an innovator who kept exploring new ideas each decade.
We at CatSynth are especially partial to his work in the 1970s, but we also enjoy what he did both before and after, as Sam Sam demonstrates with her album selections.
Beyond the music itself, Miles Davis was known for finding and bringing together a great many noted musicians, including some of our heroes like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Chick Corea, as well as folks like saxophonist and composer Sam Morrison, whom we recently featured right here on CatSynth.
In addition to Sam Sam, we’re sharing a comic by J.B. that appeared on the CatSynth blog a few years ago, “Miles and Teo” 
Another Blue Marvin sighting! This time with a cat who “wants to be a Psytrance Producer” 😺🎛️
It’s so cute how he paws at the synth.

The Hammond 102200 is a new one for me. It’s a quirky monophonic synth with instrument presets (a bit like the ARP Pro Soloist) and an unusual matrix for modifying each of them with different waveforms, envelopes, and modulation options. I’d be curious to see/hear one in real life.
Fritzie is back helping out in the studio. We see two monitors behind him with a Logic session, a Behringer X-Touch One, a Behringer Edge percussion synth, an Arturia MicroFreak directly below him, a Modal Electronics Argon, and more.

Chihiro enjoys rubbing up against the modular in this adorable video. She seems to particularly like the Happy Nerding modules and a MOK Waverazor. I also noticed the Behringer vocoder module, the Piston Honda from Industrial Music Electronics, and more.
From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@ericsuperlazy on Instagram), who notes that Chihiro was probably most taken with the case itself, a Dopfer Low Cost LC with its vinyl-like siding.
