CatSynth pic: TOM-1501 Rare Soviet USSR Vintage Analog Synthesizer
Via matrixsynth:
Judging from the cat and early 1970s decor, it’s from the same source as yesterday’s post.
“Tom-1501- 61-note (F-F) string / brass / piano multi-keyboard. This one reminds Crumar multi-keyboards. Nearly all controls on sliders on sloping back panel. Splittable. Vibrato depth, speed. Brass filter AR, resonance and cutoff. Preset sounds, mixable, include piano, clavinet, orchestra (violin, alto, contrabass), brass. Chorus. Piano has separate out. Made at the Tula factory. “
You can see more photos and information on this rare Soviet instrument on the original post at matrixsynth.
CatSynth pic: Vermona DRM Rare Vintage Analog DDR Drum Machine
From a now expired auction, via matrixsynth:
“Vintage Analog drum machine with TR style sequencer, made in Germany in 1987. There’s not too much information available on the VERMONA DRM on the internet, so I will provide some of my own background knowledge. It was released in 1987 by a German synthesizer company named Vermona. These days they are best known for their
analog drum module the Vermona DRM-1 MK3. It is the European answer to ROLAND’s TR-X0X and CR-XXXX drum machines.”

CatSynth pic: Monsturo: modular set-up
From Analogue Haven on flickr, via matrixsynth:
“Beautiful photo of a nearly full Monorocket Lexington by Monsturo. Nice selection of modules from a variety of manufacturers. Lots of oscillators, multiple filters and several sequencers for control. The Harvestman Stilton Adaptor is used for integrating external effects. LINK: www.myspace.com/monsturo.”
I have tagged some of modules I recognize (e.g., from NAMM). Click on the tags for other pictures, info and articles.

CatSynth video: Korg DS 10 Improvisation: Tiger Slides
If you haven’t already seen our “Earth Day wildcats” post from this weekend, please check it out. Meanwhile, here is another big cat, with accompaniment on a Korg DS-10. From peasant2general on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
“A small improvisation using only a Korg DS-10, no external effects, only edited out the boring parts 😉
Sorry, but I forgot to also record it on video, so I put up a simple slide with tigers, just because c: Enjoy!
PS: sorry for the lack of bass end, trust me the DS-10 does have some nice bass!”

my cat enjoys the future!
the screen is fine! cat’s claws are not as hard as glass.
also: don’t declaw your cat: its like lopping off your fingers at the last joint! trim their nails instead
Good advice against declawing (and good to know that the ipad is cat-safe).

“That’s Aki, he’s on the Arp 2600. As for the modules, a little bit of everything- Metasonix, 4MS, Malekko/Wiard, Make Noise, The Harvestman, FoH, …. and even a little bit of Buchla in front of the 2600.”
