Cats

Blix in Blue – Behringer, Korg, Arturia

Blix (we’re pretty sure this is Blix) returns in a studio bathed in blue light. We see a Behringer Model D, Arturia KeyStep, Korg Electribe 2, and more.

Winchester with Moog, Sequential, Strymon, Alesis

Winchester (the cat) clearly loves being in the studio with his human and all their gear. We two Moog Mother-32s and another Moog synth to the right; a Sequential Pro One, the unmistakable blue of the Strymon Big Sky, and a device from Alesis in the lower right.

My little buddy Winchester loves being in my studio!

We love seeing cats and their humans happy together like this.

Bogyo and Korg EM-1

The adorable black cat Bogyo is ready to make some beats with a Korg EM-1. Submitted by Fa Szi via Facebook.

The EM-1 was one of the instruments from the original Electribe series. It’s a great little box for producing beats and patterns. Perhaps we will hear something Boygo one day.

Nova in the Studio

Nova enjoys some quality time with her human in the studio. From Jack Menhorn (ORA HEAVY INDUSTRY) on Twitter.

i need to get one of those mice that has like 20 programmable buttons so I can work one handed

Many of us have had to learn that one-handed work trick as we share our workspaces with our feline family members. That red keyboard is pretty cool, too!

Lovely Kiki has found a nice spot atop this digital piano and thus assumed the role of “Keyboard Kat”.

Data, Cats, and Synths (Teenage Engineering, Korg, Sequential)

Our friends over at Cats on Synthesizers in Space recently posted this gem featuring Data and a variety of cats and synthesizers.

“There may be a correlation between cats and synthesizers. The need for more research is clearly indicated…”

There is a Korg Volca and a Teenage Engineering OP-1. I’m pretty sure the keyboard at the bottom is from Sequential.

Finnegan with Elektron Octatrak, AE Modular, and Tape Recorder

Finnegan has a great little nook in studio, with easy access to the Elektron Octatrak, AE Modular from Tangible Waves, and a cool old reel-to-reel tape recorder. From Greg Cole (@emptyvessel on Twitter),

CatSynth Pic: Jimmy Neutron

This cat really loves the Behringer Neutron.

It’s nice and warm. And so easy to patch 😺

Max/MSP, Nord Modular G2, and “Bendy Time Signatures”

This cat is quite relaxed between Max/MSP on the screen above and the Nord Modular G2 below, along with MIDI and audio interfaces from iConnectivity and Universal Audio, respectively. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.

get yourself a buddy who sticks around & chills no matter how bendy your time signatures get 😆❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We cat CatSynth couldn’t agree more 😻
