CatSynth video: kitchen electro jam: Moog Slim Phatty, iOS Midi Touch & bent QY10

From burnkit2600 on YouTube:

Sick with a cold, Miette keeps me company while I take a 1st test drive of this portable little setup. I’m using my newly created iOS Midi Touch controller for the Moog Slim Phatty. I’m controlling the MSP arpeggiator and using it’s DIN MIDI output to play the drums on my circuit-bent Yamaha QY10. Also sloppily playing the tiny keyboard on the QY10. The audio from the QY10 is partially routed back to the Moog for processing. My bent megaphone toy circuit (red box) offers some echo on the unprocessed drums. The crappy Boss mixer & homemade stereo amp combo make the cats ears twitch. Fun.

I like how Miette just sits quietly there. It reminds me of Luna on her beanbag chair in the studio.
I will have to try out MIDI Touch when sometime soon…

CatSynth pic: Charlotte the Cat is Concerned about the “String Thing”

From Lee Tizzard (L.T.), via matrixsynth:

“My friend dug out his old 1978 Paia Strings N’ Things synth for me to check out.

He has replaced the tolex case with custom pine enclosure and has also modified the outputs
to have individual outs for the string and piano sounds.

Charlotte the Cat is concerned about the “String Thing”

And she has a few thoughts of her own about it.”

Note the Moog pillow in the background.
