  • Oreo with Gakken SX-150 MkII

    Cat with small red synthesizer.  The words "Analog Fog" are written on the side.

    Oreo returns! This time, he is showing off a Gakken SX-150 MkII synthesizer. Submitted by John Weiner via our Facebook page.

    The Gakken SX-150 is a tiny analog synthesizer, sharing some elements with both the Stylophone and Korg Monotron series. It has a solid feature set for such a small instrument, including multiple LFO shapes, independent controls for filter cutoff and resonance, envelopes, and buttons to automatically sweep the filter. Like the stylophone, the stylus is the main pitch control. A purrfectly cat-sized instrument, though the stylus must be a bit challenging for paws.

    You can see Oreo’s previous appearance here.

  • Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

    Sam Sam, MiniBrute 2, Modular, Octave CAT

    Black and white cat standing on a covered synthesizer and keenly inspecting the patch bay on an Arturia MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer.  Next to her head is a small modular setup with modules from several manufacturers.

    It’s rare that Sam Sam ever gets up on one of the synth desks, so when she did I rushed to snap some photos. This was the best one, with her standing on our vintage Octave CAT (safely covered) and inspecting the Arturia MiniBrute and RackBrute modular setup.

    A full account of synth brands in this photo can be found in the tags.

    It turns out the Keks means “biscuits” in German.

    “MAx is working hard on the Waldorf M – curious what he’ll come up with!”

    At first glance, I thought Max was Sam Sam 😸
