Baba O’Riley Modular synth cover (with cat)

From Planter Music on YouTube, seen on matrixsynth.

“Maybe I’ll go back and figure out what the second synth is doing but what a classic. I used the ALM ASQ-1 for the main synth arpeggio and then the bass notes. The metropolix is doing the secondary synth part and then the squid Salmple for the drums.”

Wait for the cat to make an appearance about midway through the video 😸

Tweek and Satie, Modified Toy Piano, Modular

We’ve seen Tweek and Satie before on CatSynth, but I think this is the first time we have seen them together. Tweek is the tabby on the left and Satie is the gray on the right. Between them is a modified toy piano with springs and piezo microphone. The springs and the chamber of the toy piano make for some great resonance. And it is a purrfect input source for the modular system.

Snowy and Modular

Snowy has found a nice place to nap atop this impressive modular system. In addition to the TipTop Audio case, we see offerings from many module-makers: Music Thing Modular, Dreadbox, Qu-Bit, 4ms, Toppobrillo, Shakmat, WMD, Westlicht, and more.

Really want to make some bleeps and bloops but don’t have the heart to move this sleepy fluffball.

We at CatSynth can sympathize.

Sascha at Band Practice (Roland, E-MU, Modular)

Our pal Sascha is back; it looks like he snuck in during band practice at Space Kitty Studios. We see the familiar Roland TR-909 and TR-8s, the colorful E-MU Proteus modules, and a bit of modular in the upper left corner. From Neil Parker of Space Kitty Studios via Facebook.

Satie, Modular, 0-Ctrl

Satie joins us again. This time he has a Make Noise 0-Ctrl, an impressive modular system that includes offerings from Erica Synths, Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Intellijel, and Bear Modules. There are also a couple of intriguing DIY instruments at Satie’s disposal.

Luna and Modular (4MS and More)

This is the gray Luna we met last year when she was hiding behind a Eurorack system. Here we see here sitting next to a similar system. From @panic_hardware via Twitter.

My cat has resting bitch face

Despite the sad visage, we are confident that Luna gets lots of Love. As for the modules themselves, we immediately recognize the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator with its distinctive ring of light, as well as the 4MS Tapographic delay right out front. The others will have to remain an exercise for the reader.
