CatSynth Pic: New Eurorack From ALM
Via matrixsynth, we have this announcement from ALM of a new module that was revealed at Superbooth 18.
Sadly, we were not able to attend Superbooth – hopefully next year. But we did find this video about that included an overview of ALM’s new offerings, including the Quaid Megaslope.
CatSynth Pic: DSI Evolver

I will confess I haven’t been using my Evolver as much of late as I used to. It’s probably time to take a fresh look at what it has to offer.
CatSynth Pic: Sequential Prophet 6 and DSI OB-6
This is one lucky cat, with both a Sequential Prophet 6 and an OB6 from Dave Smith Instruments. And the keyboard versions at that 😻

The two instruments are quite similar in layout and overall architecture but have distinct sounds and other characteristics. The P6 is a classic Prophet. while the OB-6 has the distinctive sound of its Oberheim filters.
You can read our past NAMM reviews of the P6 in this post, and the OB-6 here.
CatSynth Pic: Carmen and Malekko Manther
Carmen returns, this time with the new Malekko Manther tabletop synthesizer, courtesy of Julia More, aka The Synth Witch. A bit on the manther from Malekko’s website:
MANTHER is a full featured, tabletop monosynth with an analog signal path, an advanced 64-step digital sequencer and onboard delay. The heart of this beast is a coveted CEM 3340 based VCO IC chip. The analog filter is based on an ssm2044 chip. The Source Mixer allows for total control over the Square, Triangle, Saw, Tri Shape, Noise and Sub levels and waveforms also include individual outputs. Dial everything from heavy basslines to screaming leads to stomping kicks. Manther growls like no other!
You can all of Carmen’s appearances on CatSynth via this link. There is also a little of the Manther in this video from NAMM.
CatSynth Pic: Zook and Moog Sub 37 (and Yamaha CP4)
Today we have Zook posing next to a Moog Sub 37 synthesizer and atop a Yamaha CP4 stage piano. Submitted by Scott Blasko via our Facebook page.
This is a beautiful photo, and the lighting and texture are incredible! We can see Zook’s black fur, expression, and silhouette even against the dark background and the dark surface of the keyboard. Well done!

We at CatSynth are a bit envious of this kitty, as we covet the Prophet 6 (and the Rev 2). I love my Prophet 12, but these are completely different instruments and complement one another. You can read our NAMM 2015 review of the Prophet 6 here.
