Wordless Wednesday brings us back to the city this week: a stylized architectural study in San Francisco.
Thank you as always for your links and comments on Wordless Wednesday. I have been a bit remiss in returning the comments/visits over the past week because of some things here – I will definitely do so this week.
Our pal Orion is back with a couple of pedals: a Hologram Electronics Microcosm and Electro-Harmonix Platform. That Thermionic Culture distortion unit (red) looks pretty cool, too!

Milo inspects the case for an emerging Buchla modular system. From Keith Winstanley.
Milo has appeared several times on CatSynth – you can see all his appearances via this tag. Although he is a tuxedo cat, from this angle he looks entirely black. Either way, we know he and his human are going to have a lot of fun with this new modular system.

his is Casper, he is the friendliest cat and he belongs to our hosts at an Air B&B we’re staying at in North Wales.
Always fun to meet friendly cats on travels.
Here we see Bread (orange), and Tuna (black) finding comfy napping spots on a bass and a Korg Monologue, respectively. From thedigitalpurrgatory on Twitter.
Norman plays a chord on a KOMPLETE Kontrol keyboard from Native Instruments. From @leavingrichmond on Twitter.

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.
