Ozzy is back, with his comfy platform, the Akai APC40 controller, and their pair of Elektron Digi-thingies. And it sounds like he and Dani Durán have an exciting opportunity with a label. We at CatSynth wish them well!

Ozzy with Microfreak, Elektron boxes, AKAI MPC40
Ozzy does love his beats, and he loves napping on the Arturia Microfreak, as Dani Durán (@dani_duran on Instagram) plays the Elektron Digitakt and Syntakt rhythm boxes and AKAI MPC40 MkII sequencer/controller.
It’s also nice seeing Ozzy get a little love during the music-making.

Kat, Yamaha SY99, Behringer modular systems
Kat sits comfortably in the command chair of this studio that features a Yamaha SY99 synthesizer, and just about every modular series that Behringer made. We see a Gray Meanie (ARP 2600), MS-5 (Roland SH-5), modules in the 100, 900, 2500 series, and more. I also see an Akai sampler lurking in the corner.
From Steve Watts via the Facebook Eurorack Modular group.
I think I’m going to have to buy another chair
