Juanita stands proudly atop a Behringer Blue Marvin, a tribute to the early “Blue Marvin” version of the ARP 2600. Plus, the Star Wars poster makes her photo purrfect for today, May the 4th!

I got the opportunity to see a rare actual ARP 2600 Blue Meanie at NAMM this year, courtesy of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation.


Juanita plays in front of a large and impressive Eurorack modular system.

The lovely Subaru enjoys some cuddles with her human, Dave Fulton, as they pose for us in front of an impressive modular synthesizer setup. A beautiful image of cats, love, and synths!

She is lovely, but so insistent on being held for increasingly long times. I fail to complete anything quickly.
We do what we must to accede to our cats’ wishes.
This cat seems to be enjoying this jam featuring an Akai Professional APC40 MKii, an Elektron Syntakt, and an Arturia MiniFreak.

Haku sits quietly as our friend Erik Ribeiro explores the Korg ARP 2600 M, the smaller-sized version of their ARP 2600 recreation. Erik also shares his thoughts on the ARP 2600 and his relationship with this iconic synth.
I like that Korg has been making sized-down versions of these classic synths. In addition to the ARP 2600 M, there are the MS-20 Mini and the MiniKorg 700sm. Just like cats, I want to take them all home with me.

Please join us in wishing our little Sam Sam a happy 17th birthday!
She is always such a sweet cat, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of our lives.
17 is fairly old for a cat, so she does have “common older-cat issues”, but she is getting the best health care. We manage her thyroid with medication and keep an eye on her kidneys. With luck, she will be with us for some time to come.
