    ‘Aristophanes’ Dub Ambient (Syntakt, Digitakt, OB-6, Prophet 10 , Pulse 2)

    A gentle and inviting ambient synth jam with the Elektron Digitakt and Syntakt, Sequential OB-6 and Prophet 12, and Waldorf Pulse 2. From Martin Stürtzer on YouTube. Originally seen on matrixsynth.

    Setup of this track: The Digitakt plays the drums and controls the OB-6 (Track 9), Prophet 10 (Track 10) and the Waldorf Pulse 2 (Track 11) over midi. The Syntakt plays the first sequence (Track 1), the pad (Track 2) and the lead sound (Track 5). The Midi Fighter Twister controls the levels in Bitwig and the effects, which are Valhalla DSP Delay, Supermassive and Vintage Verb.

    2934 Aristophanes /ˌærɪˈstɒfəniːz/, provisional designation 4006 P-L, is a carbonaceous Veritasian asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 22 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered during the Palomar–Leiden survey in 1960, and later named after ancient Greek dramatist Aristophanes. https://tinyurl.com/2t5f5vu6

  • Jam with Yamaha SK50D and Saruman

    Jam with Yamaha SK50D and Saruman

    We just saw Saruman with his Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7. Now we can here them being played. While  Héctor Genis plays a classic synth-pop jam with lush cords, Saruman bounces around and supervises, as a cat does.

    Fran Halen is all snuggled and warm on a chilly day. We bet those analog modules from Moog, Make Noise, and others will help keep her warm, too.

  • Cat and a Cat on a Cat

    Cat and a Cat on a Cat

    It looks like our friends over at Triangle Synth Party in North Carolina have some cats on their Octave CAT. A little figuring covers the pulse width knob of VCO 1, and a sticker sits just above F sharp.

  • Mistie and Yamaha DX7

    I think I also espy a Yamaha QX3 sequencer just to the left of Mistie.

    These 1980s DX-era instruments loom large in my personal synth history, often as aspirational. We do have a couple of TX modules still in use along with our RX5 drum machine here at CatSynth HQ.

    Ringo joins us from Brooklyn and shares with us a brief jam on a Roland SP-404SX, Korg TR 61 workstation, Zoom G3 effects box, and Waldorf Blofeld. From our friend Damien Olsen.

    You can see a bit of a show that both Damien and I played in Brooklyn back in 2019

    I should break the ice with a picture of my cat lounging on a synth…

    This seems like a reasonable idea to us at CatSynth.

  • Saruman with Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7

    Our friend Saruman is back, and he is showing off his vintage Yamaha gear. We see a Yamaha SK50D to the left, a CS30 to the upper right, and a DX7 at the bottom. Three different types of instruments from three different periods of Yamaha’s keyboard and synth history.
