RIP Mimi the Synth Cat

Mimi and Juno 60

We received some sad news today. Our dear friend and frequent guest on CatSynth Mimì passed away this weekend. She was 19. Mimì had the best synthesizer collection of any cat we knew; and more importantly, she loved a long full life and was very much loved.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Eric Pochesci of polynominal.com for his loss. He has put together this wonderful tribute page for Mimì. You can also see her many appearances on CatSynth here.

RIP Mimì. You will be missed.

CatSynth pics: Mimi and Monsieur Gris

We happy to have a new picture of Mimi from our friend Eric Pochesci of polynominal.com, this time with a Roland Alpha Juno:

And we also introduce “her little brother called “Monsieur Gris” (Mister Grey) playing with Future Retro Revolution! he’s a bit shy :)”

I have to admit, the Future Retro Revolution has interested me for a while because if its visual appeal. I tried it a few times at NAMM, but it never made to the top of the priority list to acquire. Does anyone have any thoughts on it as an instrument?
