I believe the synth in the picture is a Dave Smith Instruments Tetra.

CatSynth video:KOMA Elektronik goes guerrilla at Musikmesse 2012
We at CatSynth can’t be at Muskmesse this year, so we are living vicariously through our friends at KOMA Elektronik.
ore information: http://www.koma-elektronik.com/musikmesse
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/KOMAelektronikAs a small Berlin based analog effects manufacturer we have no large promotion budget, this is why this year KOMA Elektronik will go guerrilla at Musikmesse 2012. Instead of the “usual” booth the KOMA crew will be driving the press and everybody else who is interested in our products around in the “KOMA Cab,” and we’ll throw a big party on thursday night. You wanna fight the good fight with us?
PLAYING AT OUR PARTY (MARCH 22ND):

This is also a reminder that I should review cEvin Key’s album, which I have enjoyed for quite a while.

Looks like the minimoog was for sale on auction and got snatched up pretty quickly.

Rocking out with my cat “Video.” She likes to chase my head phone and guitar cables while I dance around. There’s a Korg Mono/Poly in the background.

CatSynth Video: Arp Odyssey Strange noises and drones, using sample and Hold modulations
From our friends at polynominal.com, another video featuring images of Mimi. The modulated sounds are quite interesting as well – lots of rich noisy timbres.

CatSynth video: PHOENIX – Love Like A Sunset Sound (nearly)

PHOENIX – Love Like A Sunset Sound (nearly)
Was supposed to be working on new track (and feeding the cat) but got sidetracked by the MoogerFoogers. Found a sound a bit like the mad glissando CS80 at the start of Love Like A Sunset so tried to work out the part a bit. Stole the Marimba-like bit from the Multitrack they put online.
Arthur (cat) was just hungry and attention seeking. He’s not normally too bad a chewer. Mind you, I did find all but one knob from my Digi002 in the hallway once. Bad boy …

The Evolver is a particular favorite here at CatSynth. Always great to see it make an appearance with the cats.
