Max is testing out the new Dune 3 synthesizer from Synapse Audio. It appears he is using the Arturia keyboard to create some bass tones for the highly-touted wavetable oscillators in Dune.

Our feline friend from Tiny Crush Mixing returns, this time sitting atop a Novation Summit synthesizer. (See what I did there?)

What is the importance of collaborating in your creative process? โจโ
That is indeed an interesting question. I feel much of my creativity is solitary, and I do enjoy that. But I also collaborate in myriad ways. This was true even during the depths of the pandemic when I recorded an album with remote collaborators. And I do miss my band and duo performances.

Rothko thinks my snare sounds like crap
We at CatSynth will reserve judgment on the snare sound ๐ธ
The adorable Elgie returns, this time with a Crumar Orchestrator and Sequential Six-Trak. Submitted by Eston Lathrop via our Facebook page.
The Crumar Orchestrator was released in 1977 and provides an orchestra-in-a-box with Brass, Piano, Clavichord, Cello, and Violin sounds, as well as a Bass sound. They can be combined and each has its own level control. It is particularly good for the Brass and String sounds which are reminiscent of the ARP Solina (we at CatSynth have used the Arturia Solina V on a few recordings).
The Sequential Six-Trak was released in 1984. As a synthesizer, it was a smaller cousin to the Prophet series, but it did include many of the Prophets’ features like cross-modulation. There was also an onboard sequencer six-track sequencer (hence the name) and full MIDI support, including controllers for the various parameters.
Beautiful black-and-white photo of a white cat giving affection to a sibling next to a white keyboard. An exercise is both contrast and sweetness.

This was fun. The Kiffness (aka David Scott) performs trumpet and electronics along with a rhythmic cat. Via the Kiffness’ Facebook page.
David Scott, also known by his stagename as The Kiffness, is a South African musician, producer and parody artist who is the founder and lead singer for the band, The Kiffness. Despite the name of the band, Scott is referred to as The Kiffness alone.ย

It looks like he features “collaborations” with cats quite often, so I suspect he will be back on CatSynth again soon.

An exercise in perspective as we see a seemingly diminutive cat beyond an Akai keyboard controller.

The subject line says it all! Dali (the cat) clearly has a keen interest in that horizontal fader and surrounding controls.
