Cats
Cat Composes Horror Music
This kitten performs a semi-tonal improvisation with string sounds. From [LEL TV] Strange Musician Life on YouTube.
Metasonix, Qu-Bit, Native Instruments, and White Cat
This cat has a pretty awesome Metasonix setup, with several yellow modules and stomp. We also see offerings from Qu-Bit and Native Instruments.

Here’s some UAC (light combat) stuff!
The main synths are running through several parallel stages of distortion (tube+solid state), waveshaping, heavy compression and harmonic saturation.💀

The cat, on the other hand, isn’t running through anything and is completely unprocessed! 🐁
Speaking of the cat, notice how he’s watching my every move, like he’s learning.
I’m convinced he’s plotting to take over my career one day! 🤔
Tweek with Arturia MiniBrute and OTO Biscuit
A young Tweek sits beyond an Arturia MiniBrute analog synthesizer (original edition) and OTO Biscuit 8-bit effects processor. A fine combination of cats and synths in a moody black-and-white photo.

Cat at the Console
This cat is in charge at the console and ready to mix his next hit record. Submitted by Dirk Vanstraelen via our Facebook page.
Identification of the synth in the background is left as an exercise to the reader.
Louis and Samson Patchbay
Louis is quite excited about this new Samson patchbay, or at least the box it came in. By Justin Saunders.
“Boring Gear Monday! My patchbay finally arrived. It’s cool how a simple device opens up possibilities for recording and effects chains. Also, Louis appreciates a new box now and then :-D”
Patchbays are among those under-appreciated but very useful pieces of studio gear, especially when one has a lot of synthesizers and I/O channels. I take mine for granted.
Green Cat and Moog Modular
This cat has some amusing photos in front of a Moog modular. The images are also rather…green. You can see more in the Instagram post from dj.wadada embedded below.
Milali and Roland Juno-106
Milali returns, this time strolling atop a Roland Juno-106. We also see a Roland SH-101, and the MS-20 and Future Retro Revolution from her previous appearance.

Korg Poly 800 and Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man
Tom Petty (the cat) lounges on a Korg Poly 800, We also see an Eletro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man near by. It looks like he is getting ready to for some serious drone music.

Drone master 😭
Pinkie and Ensoniq VFX
Pinkie has just written a new sound patch on the Ensoniq VFX and she is very proud of it 
. Submitted by Edda Jayne Hill via our Facebook page.
She will probably switch on the Atari ST and get a sequence going next
Sounds like a great combination. The VFX was the successor to the Ensoniq SQ-80, a flexible wavetable synthesizer that could achieve complex timbres by shifting through different waveforms, a technique pioneered by the PPG Wave. It was released at about the same time as I got my Ensoniq EPS (as I was very focused on sampling at the time). But the VFX is particularly intriguing now as we are in the midst of a proliferation of wavetable-based instruments.
The Atari ST is another interesting electronic-music artifact from the late 1980s, but that’s a story for another time.
