The subject line says it all! Dali (the cat) clearly has a keen interest in that horizontal fader and surrounding controls.

Cat at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum
A cat floats as melodious sounds are performed on a Roland SH-101 and TR-606, along with the Korg MS-20. Form our friends at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum.
You can see our visit to the VSM in this video.
Valentino with Red Panda, Studio Electronics BoomStar, and Make Noise

Got a studio visit today from Valentino
We think he looks a bit like a young Big Merp 😺
Eurorack Improvisation with Cat
Very calming and captivating. The cat things so, too.
Watch all the way through to see the cat get scritches.
Napping on a Polyend Tracker
A sweet moment with a cat napping on a Polyend Tracker. From legowelt_official on Instagram.
The Polyend Tracker is getting quite a bit of attention recently. It is perhaps nostalgia for the “trackers” of the 1990s, with the text-based grid sequencer, but also many modern additions. I could see it being integrated with a MIDI+Eurorack setup (along with cats, of course).
Pinglato and “Gemini” (Twin Oscillator Jam)
From theoramawards (named for the great Daphne Oram) on Instagram.
It’s #GeminiSeason and 2020 Oram Awardee Loula Yorke has just released on her @bandcamp page ‘Gemini’ a piece of sparkling ephemera to celebrate her birthday.
The track will disappear after 24 hours starting from today.
If you’d like to show her some support, listen/buy this twin oscillator jam track!

Sadly we missed this ephemeral track, but please do check out Loula Yorke’s bandcamp page for some more intriguing music. Here is a sampling from her album Crowd Control.

Maneki-Tekno
I love this! A maneki-neko turned into a DIY electronic musical instrument. I need to make one of these and will definitely be following up with the creators and curators for more. I do regret not seeing this in person as it was at the Center for New Music here in San Francisco, but this was 2020 and we know how that was.
Fortunately, we can all see some scenes from this video show via this link.
Tuna and Korg Poly-800
Tuna found a nice napping spot on a Korg Poly-800. Submitted by thedigitalpurrgatory via our Instagram.
The Korg Poly-800 was a small affordable synthesizer that featured DCOs, a VCF, and MIDI. Its successor, the Korg Poly-800 II, was one of the first synthesizers I seriously looked at as a teen, but ultimately opted for a different instrument.
