CatSynth Pic: Modal Electronics Modulus 002 Unboxing

This cat is interrupting the unboxing of a new Modulus 002 synthesizer from Modal Electronics.  By Godric Wilkie via Facebook.

When the little thug isn’t swearing at Sascha, he’s sitting on my synths…

The “little thug” has stumbled upon an interesting instrument that we at CatSynth don’t know much about, but learning more here.  Now called a Modal 002, it’s a rather massive beast.

A bit more on the Roland Juno 60, one of the classics:

Among the first in Roland’s amazing Juno family! Six analog voices of polyphony and patch memory storage!! The Juno-60 sounds great, however, like the Juno-6 it lacks MIDI control. The Juno-60 includes 56 patches of memory storage. The Juno-60 is still popular due in part to opinions that it sounds better (punchier) than the Juno-106. The Juno-6 and 60 are very rich sounding synthesizers and are great analog machines as long as you can withstand the absence of MIDI control.

CatSynth Pic: Miko in the Studio

Meet Miko, another of the cats that lives with our friend Charles Whiley in Arkansas.  She assists him in the studio as he produces his wild synth jams; and she is absolutely adorable!

You can see Whiley’s previous contributes to CatSynth via this link.

Identification of the synths left as an exercise to the reader.

 My cat hates photos being taken of him, since he decided to do everything he could to not let me finish the work I needed to do in the studio, I took a photo
