It’s not every day that we at CatSynth encounter a Fairlight CMI! But here we see the beautiful Katie modeling one of these iconic early digital synths. One of the distinctive features is the large monitor which had a light pen, as we see just behind Katie. It was used to assemble sample patches, observe waveforms, and even edit sequences (Page R).

Introducing Blaze, one of the newer members of the household with our friend Alessandro Cilano (automageddon on Instagram). We see her with a 20-year-old Roland SP-606 as well as an SP-404 MkII.
Blaze is still a kitten and gaining her “catsynth” paws.
Jazzy’s photo looks like one of those classic “classy” synth ads from the 1970s or 1980s. He certainly knows how to pose.
We see a Moog and Behringer modules in Jazzy’s modular system.

Cheetah is ready to serenade us from atop his massive modular synth. We see modules from Cwejman, Make Noise, Grendel, AtoVproject, Fumana, 4ms, and more, all in a beautiful wooden case by Matthew Goike.

His new producer seems quite demanding 😹
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes always has some great vintage synths to show off. Today she has an Oberheim OB-Xa polyphonic analog synth. As the quality manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes, she always “stands on everything they do.”

This is just a little Sunday treat for you, because I am not able to do a livestream today. The track starts with a pad from the Korg Wavestate, which I used as in its native plugin version. The following sequence uses the wavetable engines of Waldorf’s Iridium. The bass is from the Prophet 10 and the lead melody from the Arturia Minifreak. Effects are U-He Color Copy, Valhalla DSP Shimmer.
Neptun went into a hyperactive state when I started the recording, he played a note (this time in key!) at 03:19
