Synthesizers

Billie and waveform experiments

I am experimenting with a 7.83 Hz waveform with a deviation of 0.1618 Hz in stereo and my little cat Billie, intrigued, places herself in the middle of the 2 speakers. I love playing Doctor Frankestein, er, Doctor #sebairstein #maxmsp #7,83hz #cats #waveform #iwanttobelieve #soundmedicine

The adorable Billie disrupts a delicate experiment with 7.83 Hz waveforms separated by 0.1618 Hz (a number connected to the golden ratio). From sebairstein.bsky.social on BlueSky.

Cat playing microKORG

We see a cat playing a microKORG. As a smaller synthesizer, it can’t quite handle the cat’s weight.

We also see an unusual all-white MS-20 and Moog Sub Phatty among other instruments and gear.

He makes custom patches that get used in every one of my songs.

We will definitely have to check out their music!

Gerty and modular (Shlappi, Behringer, Calsynth)

Gerty poses with a modular system that features modules from Shlappi Engineering, Calsynth, Behringer, and more.

Gerty aKa Gertimus Prime aKa Mr. Beans is all “chuffed” about the An electribe called quest practice sessions…

Gerty is certainly dapper in these photos!

Coraline and Roland Space Echo RE-201

Coraline stands proudly atop a vintage Roland Space Echo RE-201. Her little skeleton stuffed kitty is cute, too.

Coraline is the official cat of Calsynth, a maker of modular synthesizers based right here in California! We also occasionally get requests about them, given that our respective names are just one letter off.
