Bread, Tuna, and Korg Monologue
Here we see Bread (orange), and Tuna (black) finding comfy napping spots on a bass and a Korg Monologue, respectively. From thedigitalpurrgatory on Twitter.

Leaving Richard is the instrumental product of Jordan Pier (and Norman). You can hear some of his music via this link.
Ansel and Yamaha QX3
The handsome Ansel poses next to a Yamaha QX3 sequencer in mid-repair. From our friend Charles Whiley.
The QX3 features the distinctive Yamaha industrial design that they used for most if not all of their instruments in the mid-1980s. This look holds a special place for me as it was the time when I started exploring synthesizers and electronic music. The QX3 also has those vintage computer-style keys, which is a very nice touch. As a sequencer, it is less convenient than many hardware sequencers, but still quite powerful, especially in an era where analog sequencers with short step counts have enjoyed a renaissance.
Wordless Wednesday: Sam Sam and Jade
Saruman plays the Casio SK-1
Remember Saruman from last week? His human, hdgenis, shared this reel with us where he “plays” the Casio SK-1.
My cat with his first synthesizer
We see a Strymon Timeline delay pedal – it sounds like the SK-1 is playing out through it; a Maschine (Native Instruments) sits nearby as well.
