CatSynth pic: Arrakis, Poly 800 and other stuff
Submitted by Yann Antimoine via our Facebook page.
As a fan of the Dune series, I can say that we at CatSynth approve of Arrakis’ name :). Additionally, the Poly 800 II was among the first true synthesizer I encountered as a possible purchase (though I didn’t get it).
If you have a cat-and-gear picture to share, you can post it on our Facebook page, where you can also see additional cat posts and banter that don’t appear on the blog.

“A texture sound that I programmed for DSI Prophet 08 analog synth. Watch your speaker levels for surprises!”
You can listen to the sound below.

Submitted by our friend Amber Brien of PAS Musique. Click here to read about their performance in San Francisco last year.
While my SK-1 does not function as a cat bed, I probably should make better use if it 🙂

CatSynth pic: Soft Lightning interview with I♥SYNTHS
Interview with Soft Lightning by I♥SYNTHS.
♥SYNTHS: You love your cats. Are they a big inspiration to your music? What are their names and what synths do they like the most?
Soft Lighting: I actually only have one cat and his name is Ziggy. My wife and I foster litters of kittens for our local shelter so we always have a bunch of new kittens around. They like ALL the synths and ALL the gear – especially hiding in the back of amplifiers.
There are quite a few more cat-and-synth photos in this post, I suspect a few more of them may show up here as well 🙂
Via matrixsynth, where you can read all the interviews with well-known synth artists and see quite a bit of classic and modern gear.
CatSynth video: Lo sbadiglio di Cocco patch
From Joao Ceser on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
“Modular 😀

Quite a few familiar modules in that system, including a few we have here at CatSynth HQ. I also like how the cat gets some love during the demo 🙂
CatSynth pic: Belly Rub?
From the blog Awesome Robo. Â Many of the pictures are familiar, but not this one with a belly-rub-inviting post similar to Luna’s from the weekend.
If you haven’t had a chance to, please check out our recent art and music reports here and here.
CatSynth pic: Korg Mono/Poly and Charlotte the Cat
Some sad news via matrixsynth. One of our frequently featured synth cats, Charlotte, recently passed away.
Charlotte appeared in many photos featured on this site, often showing disdain for the synths. You can see a few examples here and here. She lived a good long life of 18 years, but it is still sad to lose a beloved pet, and our thoughts go out to her family.
The post on matrixsynth also featured some cool filtered images of the Korg Mono/Poly.
