The Cat Man of West Oakland, like the Vintage Synth Museum, is a local treasure. We hope to feature more of them both in the near future.

Tom Hall’s Cat Knows the game 😺⚡️
We espy a MiniBrute 2S and RackBrute in use. We are quite fond of our MinBrute 2 here at CatSynth HQ.
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.
Today on CatSynth we feature the one and only Lil Bub! She is playing on a vintage electric piano (Rhodes or Wurlitzer). Regular readers know these classic instruments are among our favorites, and often used in our own 1970s funk/jazz/

Well, that’s quite an interesting pairing: dog sticker barking at The CAT – specifically, an Octave CAT synthesizer. Seen on matrixsynth.
This one recently came in to Thesis Audio for restoration.
“We took in an Octave CAT for restoration the other day that had this sticker added to the back. I like it!”
Anyone know what the source of the sticker?
I believe this is only the second time we have featured a dog in a synth in over twelve years.

Sarper Duman returns to CatSynth with one of his beautiful serenades with his cats 😻. From his Facebook page.
If you want to wake up to every new day with a real and unconditional love, adopt an animal.. Even if they don’t see, even if they’re missing a leg, they have no handicap in loving and being loved..

Her yeni güne gerçek, çıkarsız bir sevgiyle başlamak istiyorsanız, hayvan sahiplenin.. Görmeseler de, bir bacakları eksik de olsa, sevmeye, sevilmeye hiçbir engelleri yok..
The moment where the tabby crawls onto the keyboard is priceless!
