Handsome Orion poses in a sun puddle in front of an ARP 3260 keyboard. This is the keyboard that goes with an ARP 2600 synthesizer. From Justin Sullivan (@justin3am) on Twitter.
The original ARP 2600 didn’t have a keyboard built in. The 3260 was the keyboard that one could attach, and usually appears with it in regular use. You can see our video from NAMM 2020 testing out the 2600 reissue from Korg (which includes the keyboard).

It’s humbling when she points out the bugs 🐜
We at CatSynth know the feeling. Sam Sam often sits and judges my mixing and mastering.
Our white feline friend is back, this time in a cozy spot inside a ModCan modular system.

She has such a lovely house 🙂
We at CatSynth agree.
The lovely Jet returns, this time with an MB 808. From Keith Winstanley via Facebook.
The MB 808 is a DIY clone of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, that uses the uCApps.de MidiBox Sequencer. Here is a video about the MidiBox sequencer with 808 analog drums.

Today we have an illustration featuring a cat playing an Eketron Digiton. From plastichelmet on Instagram.
#rituari2022 ger idag drömdjur. Det blir givetvis #catsynth. Jag har köpt en begagnad synt idag men får fortsätta drömma om det som många andra med synthar har – en katt som vill vara med i ljudskruvandet. Livet är orättvist för oss kattallergiker.

Translating from Swedish to Googlish:
#rituari2022 today gives dream animals. It will of course be #catsynth. I bought a used synth today but can continue to dream about what many others with synths have – a cat who wants to be part of the sound crew. Life is unfair to us cat allergy sufferers.
This appears to be part of a series of illustrations every day this month. And cat allergies are indeed a curse.
Cocoa poses for us while patching up a modular system. We also see a pretty cool red lava lamp.

Identification of the synths (one of them is a Moog) left to the reader.

Louie plays us a minimalist tune on the toy piano. From @buttpraxis on Twitter.
Heard a strange noise coming from my office.

Bear performs an arpeggiated solo for us across multiple synths. From HiddenBytes on Twitter.
We see Akai MPK-249 and NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 as Bear’s main keyboards. There are also Behringer RD-8 and TD-3 beat machines, a Novation Launchpad, an Akai Fire, and an NI Maschine MK 3.
Zelda has found a great napping spot. We see an Arturia Keystep and a RackBrute containing a Mother-32, Mutable Instruments module; the other instruments are left as an exercise to the reader. From zmgcatclub on Instagram.
The sticker from Control in Brooklyn is a nice touch (check out our visit to the shop in 2019), as is the disco ball. Here is another pic of Zelda. We see that there is a Moog Subharmonicon on the next level up.
