Synthesizers

Wicks Looper – Luna Mod

From rarebeasts on flickr, the latest incarnation of the Wicks Looper:

“This is the new Wicks Looper. It’s name Luna Mod, comes from my cat, Luna who is always hanging around when I make these things.”

I of course cannot resist reposting a synthesizer with a “Luna Mod” :). We have actually seen this other cat named Luna (along with the Wicks Looper) in this previous post.

Check out this video of the Luna Mod with a red mini Kaos Pad.

CatSynth video: In memory of Modesty the Cat

From monotonmusic on YouTube, via matrixsynth:

May 27, 2010 — “A little studio session just to get my mind of everything.
Nothing fancy, just some sweet Mono/Poly chords…

Our cat got really worse these last days.
But she had a good life in the countryside among our other cats.
16 years old!
RIP 2010.05.27

We send our thoughts to monotonemusic. It does sound like Modesty had a good life, 16 years in the countryside.

That is one serious wall of synth!

It turns out this photo was from the PAiA 4700 Modular Synthesizer Project by Brett Maraldo (aka Plexus), referenced in the “Hall of Fame” on the PAiA website.

Here is another “catsynth pic” from the series:

We at CatSynth are always happy to get submissions of new pics from friends.  If you discover or create any cat-and-music pictures, you can submit them via our handy submission form, or on facebook or twitter @catsynth.

CatSynth videos: Cats react to iPhone Cat Piano

Today I specifically wanted to post some cat-and-iphone-music videos. While these don’t quite rise to the level of iggy investigating the iPad, they do make use of the popular “cat piano” app for iPhone.

From luke255 on YouTube:


“My cat Dennis has an interesting conversation with my iPhone!”

And another, from amb0 on YouTube:

The black cat in this video looks a bit like Luna.

I do of course have this particular iPhone app, and have even used it in some shows. Luna has shown very little interest in it, however. She is clearly jaded from gadgets making strange sounds (even cat-like sounds)
