Crazy cat with QuNexus

From Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI), via matrixsynth.

“To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of QuNexus, KMI is proud to announce the QuNexus Video Contest.

For full contest details visit: http://www.keithmcmillen.com/QuNexus/contest.

Coincidentally, I just acquired a QuNexus, but I don’t think I will be participating in the video content. But if you have one, you should. And if your entry includes a cat, send it our way (either via the contact button or leaving a comment here) and we’ll repost it 🙂

CatSynth pic: Harkonnen and PT-20

A couple of weeks ago, we featured Arrakis that cat. Today we introduce Arrakis’ brother Harkonnen. (Yes, we see what they did there.)

CatSynth pic: Ikea Rast Modular Synthesizer

From Appliancide.

“Cats are very into beefy terminal blocks.”

I was actually looking into the Ikea Rast as a hackable piece of studio furniture, but I’m not sure it is precisely what I need. If only there was a way to make it slightly wider…

This picture of a kitten on a Moog modular actually appeared here on CatSynth before. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to find the post 🙂
