A very meditative piece from our friend Kemal Sabran. The little white cat is definitely relaxed by these calming sounds.

CatSynth Video: Cat Sound Bath Research #3
Beautiful and hypnotic “sound path” performance from Kamal Sabran. The kitten seems very relaxed and content listening to it, as do I.
We see an Arturia Microbrute, Kaoss pad, and a wide variety of items including a classic reel-to-reel tape recorder, circuit toys, analog oscilloscope, and more. You can see a previous post from Kamal Sabran here.
CatSynth Pic: Roland JD-Xi
Beautiful white cat with Roland JD-Xi synthesizer. Submitted by André Luiz via our Facebook page.
The JD-Xi is a small affordable synth that includes analog modeling, PCM-based sounds, and a vocoder. It seems in some ways similar to a couple of the Boutique line, though its interface is closer to that of the AIRA line. We at CatSynth are particularly curious about the vocoder features…

CatSynth Pic: Sawa Masaki (DSI Pro 2)
We start off the week with this lovely picture featuring one of the cats on Sawa Masaki’s Twitter and a DSI/Sequential Pro 2.
It is probably not a coincidence that earlier the same say, Sequential announced that they would be discontinuing the Pro 2.
The #DSIPro2 mono/4-voice paraphonic hybrid synth has officially been retired 👋 To get one while stock lasts, check with your local dealer: https://t.co/0XDpWLkwcM pic.twitter.com/bz68hZsBKl

Weekend Cat Blogging with Sam Sam
It’s been almost a month since our last check-in with Sam Sam on these pages, and that is too long. And she is expressing her desire that we give her the attention she deserves.
If you have seen any of Sam Sam’s videos on Instagram or YouTube, you know she is quite the talker. Usually, it’s her tiny raspy mew, though her voice occasionally blooms into full-blown arias.
This is a good time to remind folks that you can follow her antics regularly on our Instagram @catsynth. Please do follow us if you feel so inclined.
The main rug is definitely one of her favorite spots and shows evidence of her frequent scratch’n’rolls. Honestly, we don’t mind as we delight in her antics. But it does require vacuuming, which is on deck for today. I know she is not going to enjoy that, but it is necessary.
Fortunately, she has other spots to enjoy around HQ, including this comfy chair in the loft.
Honestly, I wanted to sit there to read 😸
We hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
CatSynth Pic: White Cat and Modular, Vertical View
A beautiful pic from Davor Gazde and his white feline companion. It looks like the cat is inspecting the patch quite intently.
We are pretty sure this is the same Modcan modular synthesizer from their previous photos. You can see all of their contributions via this link.
CatSynth Pic: Yoli and Moog Sub Phatty
Beautiful white cat Yoli is making a monophonic drone on a Moog Sub Phatty synthesizer. From yolanda.yolanda.yolanda on Instagram.
The Sub Phatty is perhaps the most under-appreciated member of Moog’s Phatty line of synthesizers, which includes the popular Sub37. We have one at CatSynth, and it has served us well both in the studio and in live performance. You can view my recent video on the hidden features of the instrument below.
It has been a frequent setting for CatSynth pics over the years featuring many different cats, including CatSynth Video: Moog Sub Phatty Purrs.
