Welcome is the official title of the massive rainbow-colored laser artwork that illuminated the space above San Francisco’s Market Street during Pride weekend. The lights emanated from the landmark Ferry Building and continued for the length of the main thoroughfare and into the hills.
I particularly liked this view with the modernist Hilton Financial District hotel at Embarcadero Center.
You can see a bit of video of the installation from CatSynth TV.
Mr. Puff sits comfortably on top of a console next to two Oberheim 1000 synthesizers, a Roland rackmount line mixer, and a Novation Supernova ASM synthesizer.
Mr. Puff is one of the many cats living with our friend Charles Whiley in Arkansas. He does have some physical challenges, but as we can see, he is living his best “synth cat” life 😻
Meet Fifa and Dude, two new kittens at thedigitalpurrgatory! Dude is the black-and-white kitten above (who reminds me a bude of Sam Sam), and Fifa is gray-and-white below. They are both posing with the Korg Minilogue synthesizer.
The one who has a soccer ball patch pattern is Fifa. Black-and-white is Dude.
They’re showing off the wares they inherited from cats who lived here before.

You can see this picture of Sora’s Kittens and the Yamaha DX100 when they were younger and nursing.

If this was from a comic book, I’d buy it in a heartbeat…
So would we!
You can hear some of Shane 54’s music on his Soundcloud page.
Our friend Saruman listens to a new jam by Héctor Genis on the Yamaha SK50D and Roland TR-707, with the Strymon Timeline pedal melding it all together.
It’s quite remarkable how still Saruman is. He is clearly relaxed and in a comfy place sitting and listening to the music.
Our friend Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes struts across a vintage Korg Trident, specifically the mkII version.
You can see Gracie’s many appearances via her tag.
Dahlia is one lucky cat! She is showing off the new Melbourne Instruments NINA at the studio of Rob Robinson and Order of the Static Temple.
We had the opportunity to check out the NINA at NAMM this January. It’s an intriguing instrument with motorized knobs that move to their appropriate positions when you call up presets or automate parameters. You can see it in action in our NAMM demo video.
Maci continues to enjoy this modular system, and we have the video to prove it!
