Cat with an Alesis keyboard – I’m pretty sure it’s a Q25. From Matty Dread via the Facebook group Synthesizer Freaks.
Aha. I knew it.
Finally caught the cat remapping control messages to the mod wheel.

CatSynth Pic: Eli and Yamaha Reface DX
Meet Eli! Here we seem him posing handsomely next to a Yamaha Reface DX synthesizer.
Eli, like Sam Sam and Luna, is a rescue cat, and is clearly thriving in his home 😺
The “Reface” series is Yamaha’s new line modeled on some of their classic instruments, similar to Roland’s “Boutique” line. You can read more about the Yamaha Reface DX here.

“Frankie being disruptive. #catsynth #catsofinstagram #musicproducer”
We recently saw how Sam Sam can also be disruptive in the studio 😸
CatSynth Video: Make Noise Morphagene + Rhodes piano + Poes the cat = weird music
From Andor Polgar on YouTube, via matrixsynth. Rhodes, Make Noise Morphagene and cat, what is not to love?
Things used in the video: vegan sausage for taming the cat (that’s her favorite), Make Noise Morphagene eurorack module, Rhodes Mark I electric piano, Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 for the reverb effect.

It may be time to experiment again here at HQ with the Nord and some Make Noise modules…

New CatSynth TV: inWooble December Edition
Our latest CatSynth TV documents yesterday’s edition of inWooble, a monthly synthesizer meetup and jam session at LinkedIn’s offices in downtown San Francisco. I had the opportunity to join this time, and had a good time performing with everyone – I particularly enjoyed the time where we were rhythmically together or forming complex contrapuntal textures across the six modular-synthesizer setups. And the views of downtown SF out the window were pretty cool, too.
Hosts:
Franck Martin
Juan Rosales
Bryan Levay
Participants:
