CatSynth Video: The Tiger Synth Demo

0 Comments

Via HGFSynthesizer on YouTube, via matrixsynth.

The Tiger Synth VSTi some sound examples are single patches performed skillfully by Dimitri Schkoda plus some shorter ones by HGF
Only one patch used with each example showing you can have a wide variety of sound from fairly straight to really complex ones. with the enhanced realtime control options this is a real performance synth suiting many needs.
have fun
HG

The video has a retro movie sort of feel, does it not?

CatSynth video:KOMA Elektronik goes guerrilla at Musikmesse 2012

Comments Off

We at CatSynth can’t be at Muskmesse this year, so we are living vicariously through our friends at KOMA Elektronik.

ore information: http://www.koma-elektronik.com/musikmesse
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/KOMAelektronik

As a small Berlin based analog effects manufacturer we have no large promotion budget, this is why this year KOMA Elektronik will go guerrilla at Musikmesse 2012. Instead of the “usual” booth the KOMA crew will be driving the press and everybody else who is interested in our products around in the “KOMA Cab,” and we’ll throw a big party on thursday night. You wanna fight the good fight with us?

PLAYING AT OUR PARTY (MARCH 22ND):

EMIL NIKOLAISEN & ÅDNE MEISFJORD (Serena-Maneesh, NO) (4AD)

Via matrixsynth, where you can find additional still images and information about the new documentary I Dream of Wires.

You can find additional pics via IDOW on Facebook.

You can find IDOW on IndieGoGo here (note although they reached their goal, you can still donate and order items).

This is also a reminder that I should review cEvin Key’s album, which I have enjoyed for quite a while.

Via matrixsynth. Cat is lounging in the background.

Looks like the minimoog was for sale on auction and got snatched up pretty quickly.

Rocking out with my cat “Video.” She likes to chase my head phone and guitar cables while I dance around. There’s a Korg Mono/Poly in the background.

“Video” the Cat takes a stroll on a Wurlitzer 200e electric piano. Submitted by The Wiggly Tendrils via our facebook page.

One may argue that a Wurlitzer electric piano isn’t a “synthesizer” per se. But electromechanical pianos (Wurlitzer and Rhodes) are among my favorite instruments and feline pictures with them are always welcome here!

Me too. I bought this one in Oshkosh Wisconsin years ago at the music store that time forgot. The guy was renting them out to piano students who didn’t have pianos at home. (their original purpose) I eventually talked him into selling me one. I love it. I also briefly had a Yamaha CP-70 but had to sell it when I moved from Philly to Berkeley.
