Cats fit into the strangest places. That includes spare HPs in a modular system. In addition to the cat, we see many familiar modules (and a Keystep Pro). Full list of brands in the tags for this post.

Our feline friend in Malaysia has a found a very relaxing spot on the Behringer Poly D synthesizer. The little paw twitches are too cute!

A cute black cat named Luna – not my Luna – walking next to a Novation Mininova synthesizer atop a Yamaha AN1x. From Aidan Taylor via Facebook.
It’s always a treat to come across other black cats named Luna. Our little girl would be proud.


This handsome cat is in command in the studio, with a Roland System 8 (top), Behringer VC340 vocoder (center right), and a silver device that will be left as an exercise to the reader. [Update. An astute reader identified this as a Vermona DRM-1]

This young cat is learning how to tweak bass tracks on a Behringer TD-3. From Michael Caves via Facebook.
Acid cat
I have to admit, this red TD-3 is quite pretty (especially with the translucent case). A quite Google search also turned up a purple edition…


The white cat from Kamal Sabran’s studio returns. We see a Behringer Poly D and DeepMind, sundry modular, and a lot of beautiful retro gear including reel-to-reel tape recorders. A microKORG appears to be stacked in the lower-left corner.

This cute cat has found a cozy space from which to lay down some rhythms on an AKAI MPC1000. From Holly Lanasolyluna via Facebook.


A cute orange cat and a Boss “Dr. Rhythm” DR-660 come together in this bright photo. From Fa Szi via Facebook.
There is an old DR-660 here at CatSynth HQ, but I haven’t been able to get it to work. This image inspires me to try it again.


Mackie the cat with a MacBeth M5 synthesizer. We also see a Future Retro Orb sequencer and a Yamaha Reface. From Phil Walling via Facebook.
Mackie (cat) working the ‘Mackie’ (MacBeth M5)
The MacBeth M5 is modern but rare analog synthesizer. It is reminiscent of a black-and-orange ARP 2600, but is a completely different instrument.
While reminiscent of the 2600, this is not a clone. It’s a semi-modular synthesizer that features a significant array of real-time analog controls with absolutely no digital circuitry at all. Totally faithful to the design and concept of early analog synthesizers, all sounds must be created by hand, tweaking knobs, patching cables and using a bit of creativity. There is no patch memory, no MIDI and no USB. Just really great analog sounds.
