“Like most modular synthesizer users and builders, I suffer from Serge envy. Thankfully for all of us, Ken Stone licensed some of Serge’s designs to sell as CGS PCBs.
Here is my first module using these Serge designs”
The cat in the first photo is the “project supervisor.”
As another feline reference, “CGS” is “Cat Girl Synth”.
From softestthing on flickr:
Perhaps a little bit of a stretch – a Fender Rhodes technically isn’t a synth nor is the drawing technically a cat – but I quite like this image. (And I am a big Rhodes fan.)
Via matrixsynth:
This one in via Silent Strike who composed the tracks for the app with a Clavia Nord Modular 1, Micron Alesis, Jomox Mbase, Reason 4 Propellerheads, M-audio Axiom 25, Elektron Drumachine (pic at the bottom of this post). The app does not allow you to manipulate sound, but I thought it was interesting to acknowledge some of the gear used to create the audio for this app. The Waldorf Blofeld and Yamaha AN200 pictured however were not used.
Looks like Silent Strike had a studio supervisor involved.
There is also info on the app itself.
Gravitarium 2 combines music, art and science in one relaxing experience. Use all your fingers to guide the star flow. You can create 10 different animations depending on the number of fingers touching the screen:
1 – Rocket, 2 – Sparkle, 3 – Energy flow, 4 – Atomic, 5 – 3D freeze, 6 – Circularium, 7 – Fish, 8 – Vortex, 9 – Lasers, 10 – Lightning.
Use different options to create spectacular drawings made of stars. You can load the “Drawing” preset from the “Options” screen.
I will be taking a look at this app. The idea of creativity and relaxation does appeals to me, but the game-play part is a bit less exciting – though it is the trend in the mobile-app space.
Another rom asakawaz on YouTube, also seen on matrixsynth:
“猫の上で演奏してみました。スローテンポのほうが落ち着くみたいです。”
猫 is cat of course, but beyond that I need the help of Google translator. I think the cat prefers the slower tempo on the sequencer.
For today’s Weekend Cat Blogging, we feature a “garden cat” we encountered at the Mount Madonna Center the Santa Cruz mountains:
This cat was very friendly, and followed us around during a walk in the gardens:
But there was also something that made it connected to its wild surroundings:
I was at the retreat for a sad occasion, a memorial service that I also referenced in this previous post. But the walk in the garden afterwards and the encounter with the cat were a nice postscript.
Weekend Cat Blogging #315 is up at Mind of Mog
The Carnival of the Cats will be returning to Meowsings of an Opinion Pussycat, with Nikita and Elvira.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator

“…our cat ‘Eloy’ is playing the Synthesizers.com Studio-88… 🙂

June 10 is Luna’s “Gotcha Day”. It was six years ago today that she was adopted from Santa Cruz County Animal Services and became the much beloved member of our household that readers have come to know and love.
As we often do on this occasion, we look back at some early photos in comparison to the present. This particularly cute one was taken during her first week at home in June, 2005.
By contrast, here is one of the most recent photos of Luna:
She is quite fond of that PurrPad at the moment.
Another interesting comparison. Here is Luna sitting with our often-featured glass table in June, 2005:
And here she is again in 2010:
Some things stay the same.
Please join in me in wishing Luna a Happy 6th Gotcha Day! It is a day to celebrate, and to remember what’s important in life.
We would also like to give a mention to Friends of Santa Cruz County Animals – I support them every year in gratitude connecting us.
