    CatSynth Pic: Korg Kaossilator & Kaoss Pad, Make Noise Modules

    Cat with Make Noise eurorack modules, and Korg Kaossilator and Kaoss Pads.

    This cat holds court with a Korg Kaossilator (yellow) and Kaoss Pad (red), along with an impressive collection of Make Noise modules. There is also a golf ball on the Kaossilator, which I find visually interesting.

    Meelee with Deluge, Moog, Mutable Instruments and More

    Meemee the cat with a Synthstrom Audible Deluge, a Moog Mother-32 and Subharmonicon, and a variety of Eurorack synthesizer modules.

    The adorable Meelee joins us today from Hong Kong with quite a setup. She has a Synthstrom Audible Deluge, a Moog Mother-32 and Subharmonicon, and sundry Eurorack modules including several from Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Endorphines, Expert Sleepers, 4ms, Electro-smith, and more. Submitted by Jan Hohmann via our Facebook page.

    The Deluge from Synthstrom Audible is a new one for us. It is a portable synthesizer, sampler, and sequencer. A very popular combination these days as we see many instruments that combine these features in different ways.

    The beautiful Xandra – a Siamese oriental shorthair cat – sits proudly in front of a modular system featuring offerings from FolkTek, Moog, Malekko and more. Xandra fits purrfectly with the aesthetics of the FolkTek modules.

    CatSynth Pic: Luna and Modular

    We at CatSynth always love meeting other cats named Luna. This Luna once hid behind a 6U Eurorack modular case when she was a kitten. It is reported that she is too big for this space now.

    My cat luna hiding behind the 6U case when we first got her. She’s a little too big these days for this

    We invite intrepid readers to try and identify the modules – quite challenging from this angle.

  • Stay at home concert #30 (Ambient / Berlin School Session)

    Stay at home concert #30 (Ambient / Berlin School Session)

    That is one patient cat! Just chilling in the corner for the entire concert.

    I also quite like the combination of instruments: vintage Juno-60 and Oberheim Xpander synthesizers along with the newer Arturia MicroFreq, Sequential Rev2, Moog Sub37, and more.

    By Martin Stürtzer on YouTube, via matrixsynth.

    “It is time for another Ambient / Berlin School session! I prepared three long tracks with pads and sequences from the Oberheim Xpander, Waldorf Iridium, Roland Juno-60, Sequential Rev2, Moog Sub37, Arturia Microfreak and my modular system. All sounds are midi sequenced from Ableton. FX are coming from U-He Colour Copy, NI Raum. The Rev2 is connected to Strymon Timeline and Eventide H9. My Juno-60 is clocked from Ableton ‘CV Tools’ through an audio output of the RME 802. I am playing the Arpeggiator and hope to have a proper midi interface for it next time.”

  • Valentino with Elektron RYTM & Octatrack

    Valentino with Elektron RYTM & Octatrack

    This is not Big Merp. It’s our friend Valentino, who has found a nice napping spot between the Elektron RYTM and Octatrack and the computer (with an Orion interface). We also see a Red Panda Particule pedal.

    Had to unplug the RYTM + Octatrack because that’s where he wants to sleep right now.

    As the late great Serena Toxicat said, “A cat does what a cat does” 😸

    Smokey as a place of honor in this studio place of honor in this studio. On the right is a Novation Summit, in the center are offerings from Elektron. In the Upper left in the Studio Electronics Boomstar that we saw in a previous post with Smokey’s fellow feline Valentino, and on the left is a synth that we leave as an exercise to the ready.
