Pets for me, plx?

This handsome boy is so funny! He gets up here whenever I start pulling patch cables. He like rubbing his face on cables, so this is like him saying “If I can’t pet myself, you need to pick up the slack!”

We hope that he got the pets that he deserves!

Korg KPR-77 Drum Machine

Cat with Korg KPR-77 drum machine

This cat poses very nicely with a vintage Korg KPR-77 drum machine.

From Andreas Gregor via the Facebook group Synthesizer Freaks.

We at CatSynth were not familiar with the KPR-77. From Vintage Synth Explorer:

The KPR-77 was Korg’s answer to the TR-606 drum machine. Like the 606, the KPR-77 is basically an analog machine. Its sounds consist of bass, snare, two toms, open and closed hi-hats, accent and (switchable) cymbal/clap. Each drum sound’s level can be individual mixed via the sliders.

New art for the studio, but it’ll have to wait until the intern finishes recabling everything
