From @ModularSynths (Daniel.ModularSynths) on Twitter, we have this photo of a cat inspecting a
Immer neugierig (Always curious)
IWe are sure this cat is making some interesting music with his curiosity, although the Voyagers are monophonic. So we will only hear one paw at a time.
Please tweet us your cat-and-music @catsynth to be featured in a future post and across our social media platforms.
Marcel is back today, with a pair of Korg M1R modules. We also see a Minimoog in the back.

Grace returns to CatSynth, this time presiding as queen atop a rather impressive collection of vintage synths. We see Moog, Oberheim, PPG, Synergy, and more!

Bondo sits proudly on an original-series Moog Voyager. Next to him is a Roland RE-501 chorus echo. In the corner, one can see a bit of a vintage Vox Super Continental organ. Quite a collection!

It’s the 99th Episode of CatSynth TV, and we have a special treat for all our readers and videos. It combines many of our interests: synthesizers, cats, experimental music and film, and highways.
Video shot along Highway 99 in California from Manteca through Stockton and heading towards Sacramento. Additional video and photography at CatSynth HQ in San Francisco.
Guest appearances by Sam Sam and Big Merp.
Original experimental synthesizer music by Amanda Chaudhary, based on melodies from “99 is not 100” by Moe! Staiano.

Our feline pal Gracie certainly knows how to strike a pose. Here we see her laying claim to a Polymoog that is in for repairs. From Alsún Ní Chasaide (Alison Cassidy) via Facebook.
It’s only been here a few hours, and she’s claimed it as her own! #PolyMoog #PolyMew
The Polymoog is a rare and somewhat anomalous instrument from Moog Music’s lineup. In addition to being polyphonic, it’s focused on a series of presets. It was intended in many ways to complement for the classic Moog mono synths – the nice wide flat (and presumably warm) surface where Gracie is sitting was designed to accommodate a Model D or similar instrument. They are also known to be rather temperamental and high-maintenance beasts. From Vintage Synth Explorer:
Unique among Moog’s lineup, the Polymoog is not at all like the Minimoog or any of the other mono-synths Moog has become famous for. Instead, it was designed to complement Moog’s monophonic synthesizers. It’s a unique and finicky product, the brain child of David Luce instead of Dr. Bob Moog himself. But like all Moog products, this isn’t an ordinary instrument — it’s the Polymoog and it sounds fantastic for what it is.
