Our friend Héctor Genis trying out some strings on the vintage Yamaha SK50D, while one of his “cats” watches patiently. Too patiently. It took me a moment to realize that wasn’t actually Shiro, Saruman, or Parches.

International Cat Day with Sam Sam and Big Merp
Dino and circuit-bent instruments
Another great video of Dino from our friends at okhousecat,

Dutch Modular Fest Purrsculator
I saw this adorable video today from Duch Modular Fest, a tutorial for a “purrsculator” sound.
The festival is happening on August 31 in Utrecht. More info can be found at www.dutchmodularfest.com
Saruman, Yamaha SDK50D, and Strymon Timeline
Our friends Saruman and Héctor Genis are back, and sharing a chord progression played on the vintage Yamaha SDK50D synthesizer with Strymon Timeline multi-dimensional delay effect.
Leona and Novation Peak
Leona has found the highest spot (as cats are wont to do) on the studio monitors above a Novation Peak synthesizer.

Servo JBL Snoozin’
Servo relaxes next to a JBL studio monitor. We can see the MicroKORG that he posed with in a previous post.

Winston and Korg NTS-1
A beautifully composed photo of Winston playing a Korg NTS-1 Nu: Tekt kit. Submitted by Ryan Garner via our Facebook page.
The NTS-1 is an interesting little device. It has the same oscillator/DSP system as the Minilogue XD and Prologue, and allows one to create new oscillators and effects for any of these three devices. We have one here at CatSynth HQ.
Rimuru, ASM Hydrasynth, Korg Minilogue XD, Prophet 08
Rimuru has grown quite a bit since he last appeared on CatSynth as a tiny kitten. Here he is as a handsome fellow posing confidently with the same ASM Hydrasynth and Prophet 08, now joined by a Korg Minilogue XD. I also think that’s the same Roland Fantom that he posed on last time. We also see a cool-looking Eurorack system to the left, but we’ll leave identification of the modules as an exercise to the reader.
