This cat seems to be enjoying this jam featuring an Akai Professional APC40 MKii, an Elektron Syntakt, and an Arturia MiniFreak.

Cats
Haku and Korg ARP 2600 M
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.

Happy 17th Birthday, Sam Sam!
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.
Pöpö, 8-bit oscillator, and more
We have another video featuring Pöpö. This time, he explores the studio to the sounds of an 8-bit oscillator prototype. We also see Behringer RD-6 and RD-8 drum machines, a cool little modular, and other bits of music gear.

Felicia and Garden Keyboard
Felicia enjoys some time next to a “garden keyboard” that has become part of the landscape. A beautiful garden and a beautiful cat.

Identification of the keyboard is left as an exercise to the reader.
Percy enjoys the Buchla Music Easel
Percy relaxes on the sofa while Joel Izquierdo plays the Buchla Music Easel. If I’m not mistaken, that is also Strymon Big Sky pedal next to the Easel.
Here is the same scene of Percy and Joel, but in green.

Pöpö, MICO-S sequencer, and Modular
Pöpö supervises a test of the MICO-S sequencer with a fairly large modular system.
The MICO-S is a homemade sequencer created by Miko (@ramsesjupiter on Instagram)
Major and MOTM modular
Major poses with a very impressive MOTM modular system.
He clearly is proud of his vast collection.

Look for more of Major in the coming days.
Subaru and Erica Synths SYNTRX
The lovely Subaru poses with an Eric Synths Syntrx (1st version). The Syntrx, as one might surmise from its appearance, is a recreation of the EMS Synthi.

Fun fact about Subaru: she got her name after being rescued from a neighbor’s Subaru.
Grady with DSI Evolver and Source Audio Collider
Grady has certainly been busy of late. Here we see him with a Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential) Evolver and a Collider delay-and-reverb pedal from Source Audio. These two instruments make a great combination. Grady seems more focused on his cleanliness.
