  • Pinki with Analog Systems and more modular

    Pinki with Analog Systems and more modular

    Pinki shows off a cool Analog Systems modular, with not one but two Oberkorn 16-step sequencers. There are several other Eurorack modules from other manufacturers on the lower level, which we shall leave as an exercise to the reader.

    From our friend Edda Jayne via Facebook. You can see Pinki’s previous appearances via his tag

  • Tuna cleaning himself on a Korg Poly-800

    Tuna cleaning himself on a Korg Poly-800

    Tuna cleans himself while playing a drone on a Korg Poly-800 synthesizer. There is actually a lot of complex variation in here (presumably from the connection to Ableton Live).

  • Mr. Bean on the piano

    Black cat walking on a black upright piano.

    The handsome Mr. Bean is exploring his household camouflage options and has found the purrfect spot on the black piano.

    From Laura L on BlueSky, who adds:

    He was rescued from a parking lot at 2 weeks old. He is now 2 years [old], and sometimes steps in to help me teach piano students.

    Rescue stories like this always warm our hearts at CatSynth.

  • Ringo and Roland Juno D

    Ringo and Roland Juno D

    Ringo poses amidst the creative chaos. We see a Roland Juno-D synthesizer, a Hologram Electronics Microcosm Pedal, a Zoom B3 bass effects pedal, pains, a bowl of painted eggs (or are they painted egg-shaped rocks?).

    From our good friend Damien Olsen in New York.

  • Goose, Jupiter 50, ARP Odyssey, Rhodes

    Goose, Jupiter 50, ARP Odyssey, Rhodes

    Goose sits atop a Roland Jupiter-50 synthesizer and plays us a D and E major second. Behind him, we see an ARP Odyssey reissue with MkII livery, and a Rhodes piano.

    This is Goose – he hopped up on my Jupiter-50, my synth I use for live work, which is blocking my Rhodes and ARP Odyssey full-size reissue in Mark 2 livery, along with their pedalboards- while I program patches for my next gig.

  • Oreo with Gakken SX-150 MkII

    Oreo with Gakken SX-150 MkII

    Cat with small red synthesizer.  The words "Analog Fog" are written on the side.

    Oreo returns! This time, he is showing off a Gakken SX-150 MkII synthesizer. Submitted by John Weiner via our Facebook page.

    The Gakken SX-150 is a tiny analog synthesizer, sharing some elements with both the Stylophone and Korg Monotron series. It has a solid feature set for such a small instrument, including multiple LFO shapes, independent controls for filter cutoff and resonance, envelopes, and buttons to automatically sweep the filter. Like the stylophone, the stylus is the main pitch control. A purrfectly cat-sized instrument, though the stylus must be a bit challenging for paws.
