An office building plaza where I used to enjoy stopping and sitting. It felt so…urban. It was good to visit again recently after a long hiatus.
Behringer RD-8 and Modular
This cat is singing to accompaniment from a Behringer RD-8 Rhythm Composer and a modular system housed in Arturia RackBrute 6U case. We see offerings from Mutable Instruments, Dopfer, TipTop Audio, Behringer (again), Endorphines, and more.

Borat, an adorable black kitten, jumps up on a Yamaha keyboard (which we at CatSynth identified as the EZ 200) and plays us a song. Found via Borat’s Twitter feed.
CatSynth Pic: Two Cats in the Studio
We have two cats in this studio during purrfect yin-yang pose under a pale blue light. Submitted by Derek Carter via our Facebook page.
We see an M-Audio Oxygen controller on the desk, and a Moog Sub-37 (or Subsequent?) in the lower right corner.

CatSynth Pic: Emily and Modular
Emily proudly sits atop a Eurorack modular system. She clearly owns it and is in charge. Submitted by Gunfire H. Horibly via our Facebook page.
We see a CTAG Strämpler up front, and a cool-looking hexagonal thing next to it – if anyone can identify that, please let us know in the comments.
Mae and Elektron Digitakt (and iPad)
Mae returns this week, with an Elektron Digitakt plus a connected iPad. Submitted by Alessandro Cilano via our Facebook page.
The Digitakt is a fun little instrument that excels at beats and other patterns. I did have the opportunity to play one at NAMM a few years back.
See Mae’s other appearances on CatSynth here.
Akai APC40, Korg Kaoss Pads, KMI QuNexus
This beautiful Siamese cat is holding court in a studio featuring an Akai APC40 controller (for Ableton Live), a pair of Korg Kaoss pads, and a Keith McMillen (KMI) QuNexus controller. And that appears to be a dead furby next to the cat.

Eat your heart out, @catsynth 🙌🙌😆🎶🎵🥰❤️😻
Yes, that’s a Furby pelt pop filter.
Bobby and Korg NTS-1
Bobby is intrigued by the Korg NTS-1 programmable synthesizer. So are we Bobby, so are we.
From Erwin Kant via our Facebook page.
The NTS-1 is a small DIY kit that is compatible with the same SDK used in the Minilogue XD and Prologue synthesizers, allowing the development of custom oscillators and effects.
