Korg KPR-77 Drum Machine
This cat poses very nicely with a vintage Korg KPR-77 drum machine.
From Andreas Gregor via the Facebook group Synthesizer Freaks.
We at CatSynth were not familiar with the KPR-77. From Vintage Synth Explorer:
The KPR-77 was Korg’s answer to the TR-606 drum machine. Like the 606, the KPR-77 is basically an analog machine. Its sounds consist of bass, snare, two toms, open and closed hi-hats, accent and (switchable) cymbal/clap. Each drum sound’s level can be individual mixed via the sliders.

Debussy Rêverie Covered With Synthesizer
Artist Bai 白愿子 covers Claude Dubussy’s Rêverie beautifully with a Moog Grandmother and Werkstatt-01, along with the Arturia Beatstep PRO and the Wires plugin from Audio Things (A favorite of mine!). The cat seems to be enjoying the performance, too.

2600 Gray Meanie
A beautifully composed picture of a cat with a Behringer 2600 “Gray Meanie” and an urban landscape in the background. We at CatSynth consider this a purrfect combination.

Orion and ARP 3620 keyboard
Handsome Orion poses in a sun puddle in front of an ARP 3260 keyboard. This is the keyboard that goes with an ARP 2600 synthesizer. From Justin Sullivan (@justin3am) on Twitter.
The original ARP 2600 didn’t have a keyboard built in. The 3260 was the keyboard that one could attach, and usually appears with it in regular use. You can see our video from NAMM 2020 testing out the 2600 reissue from Korg (which includes the keyboard).
White Cat and ModCan modular
Our white feline friend is back, this time in a cozy spot inside a ModCan modular system.

She has such a lovely house 🙂
We at CatSynth agree.
Zelda with Moog, Arturia, Mutable Instruments, and More
Zelda has found a great napping spot. We see an Arturia Keystep and a RackBrute containing a Mother-32, Mutable Instruments module; the other instruments are left as an exercise to the reader. From zmgcatclub on Instagram.
The sticker from Control in Brooklyn is a nice touch (check out our visit to the shop in 2019), as is the disco ball. Here is another pic of Zelda. We see that there is a Moog Subharmonicon on the next level up.
