Chewie the cat posing handsomely behind an Ensoniq EPS sampling synthesizer. Submitted by Kiki Cameron via our Facebook page.
The Ensoniq EPS and its successor, the ASR-10, were longtime workhorses in my synth collection. Even though the ASR-10 mostly sits in the closet now, I still use some of the sounds from it. You can hear an example here.

Modular synth aside, that chair would be perfect at CatSynth HQ 🙂

“Here is my cat, Samantha, taking a little nap by my Akai AX80.”
This Samantha looks surprisingly like another Samantha that we have featured on this site before.

This is dedication, I only buy new gear so I can take pictures of them with my cats and send them to your blog!
That is indeed quite a commitment! We wish Alessandro and Skinny the best of luck on this, and keep sending us the pics 🙂
CatSynth pic: Scampi and Roland JX-3P
Submitted by Jonathan Redman via our Facebook page. He also has an Electronic Instrument Archive that is quite impressive and worth checking out.
“Our Cat Scampi likes to sit by Synths – not on them.”
You can find more info about the Roland JX-3P at the archive.
Weekend Cat Blogging: Luna’s Birthday and Quiet Weekend
It’s a quiet rainy weekend here at CatSynth HQ. Indeed, we are expecting more nasty storms today and tomorrow. That makes it a perfect time to stay inside and catch up on things, and of course to extend celebrating Luna’s Birthday. If you haven’t already done so, go check out her birthday photos.
A friend of ours send a birthday card. Here we see Luna examining it.
With the quiet time ahead of us, it might also be a good opportunity to try a recipe from Meow Chow, particularly if it something that both felines and humans can enjoy.
I always notice how much the cat on the front of the book looks like Luna 🙂
Weekend Cat Blogging #390 is hosted by Kashim, Othello and Salome. They are also announcing that the Weekend Cat Blogging round-up will be coming to an end this month. It is a bit sad, but it does seem that it’s popularity has been dwindling. We will certainly be here to mark the final one later this month.
Meanwhile, the Carnival of the Cats continues, and will be up this Sunday at .
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator. They even had Luna’s birthday up before I could post it – thanks!
Happy Birthday Luna!
November 30 is Luna’s birthday as listed in her adoption records. My ketzela is officially eight years old today. She looks all grown up and beautiful in the portrait above, but she also can still seem like a kitten, as in this photo where she receives some birthday scritches.
Please join me in wishing her a Happy Birthday!
