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!
From our friend Alsún Ní Chasaide (Alilson Cassidy) on Facebook.
You see Grace’s other posts here.
A new Moog DFAM (Drummer from Another Mother) has arrived at the home of our friends at polynominal.com in Italy. But Marcel is clearly more interested in the box.
Yes, even synth cats love boxes!
Handsome Nico proudly shows off his Yamaha MOXF6 synthesizer. From Alan Kyle via Facebook.
The MOXF series is Yamaha’s current workstation line, which combines MOTIF XF with studio features such as MIDI+USB and DAW control. As for Nico, we hear he is quite the sweetheart. According to Kyle, he is “so well mannered and affectionate 😁”

Someone has already stolen my Christmas gift.
Usually, the cats just take the boxes 😸
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.
Synthesizers used:
Meet Marsi, who has a cool collection of synths and rhythm boxes. He is sitting on a Yamaha CS1-X, and also has a Roland MC-303 and Boss DR-202. From Sascha Kaus via Facebook.
Our friend Charles Whiley demonstrates his main mixing console…wait for it 😸
We at CatSynth also enjoy the classic four-on-the-floor beat in the background.
This adorable black cat has found a nice spot to rest on a Nord Modular, which happens to sit above a Moog synthesizer. From Pete Crane via Facebook.
Good thing our little
synthcat doesn’t shed too much

And from resting to performing…

This fucking guy. If he had a debut album, what would it be called? #catsynth #pets #music #notmycat
The high contrast renders the synths unidentifiable to us, but maybe an intrepid reader is up to the challenge…
