It's been a little while since we've seen Mimì. But she's back, in a pair of photos submitted by our friend polynominal:
The blue synth is a prototype of a Dutch “Synton Syrinx”, which you can read more about here.
Polynominal has quite a studio of vintage synthesizers and other gear, and he has some new photos, including several of Mimì, on his recently updated website. The site is definitely worth a visit, and check out some of the new musical samples.
Courtesy of our friend polynominal, Mimì returns, this time with an SH-101!
Remember Mimì, our intrepid little synth programmer?
Now she's taking her paws to the Russian (Soviet era) Polyvoks synthesizer.
Thanks as always to Eric of polynominal for submitting these photos of Mimì.
You can hear some samples of a Polyvoks at sequencer.de.
Seems approrpiate to feature a Russian synthesizer today, with the news of the passing of Boris Yeltsin today…
From sendling we have this video of artist (co)sine. Great stuff, and it's at Luna's Cafe! How could I not repost.
Scrolling down one post earlier at sendling, we see a familiar face. Remember Mimì? Well, it seems that she's been making the rounds since her debut here at CatSynth, popping up at sendling and matrix. Go Mimì!

Submitted by polynominal from Italy:
Mimì is a 8 years old female cat, born in the island
of Sardenia in Italy.
Her name is from a character of the opera “la Bohème”
composed by Puccini, although I could never bring her to the lyrical
theatre “La Scala” of Milan,
the city where I live and have my recording studio.
Mimì likes to stay in the studio for the warmy
heat produced by analog machines, perfect for little
cozy naps!
In the snapshot she's thinking of a way to sync a tb303
to an Elka Synthex's sequencer!
I hope she'll find out soon! 🙂
Besides being a classic analog instrument for techno and dance music, the TB-303 is quite a comfy location for a nap. Who knew?
