Rituari 2022: Cat with Elektron Digitone

Illustration of a cat playing an Elektron Digiton

Today we have an illustration featuring a cat playing an Eketron Digiton. From plastichelmet on Instagram.

#rituari2022 ger idag drömdjur. Det blir givetvis #catsynth. Jag har köpt en begagnad synt idag men får fortsätta drömma om det som många andra med synthar har – en katt som vill vara med i ljudskruvandet. Livet är orättvist för oss kattallergiker.

Translating from Swedish to Googlish:

#rituari2022 today gives dream animals. It will of course be #catsynth. I bought a used synth today but can continue to dream about what many others with synths have – a cat who wants to be part of the sound crew. Life is unfair to us cat allergy sufferers.

This appears to be part of a series of illustrations every day this month. And cat allergies are indeed a curse.

Cocoa, Modular, and Lava Lamp

Cocoa poses for us while patching up a modular system. We also see a pretty cool red lava lamp.

Identification of the synths (one of them is a Moog) left to the reader.

Bear Performs Arpeggios (Akai, Native Instruments, Behringer, Novation)

Heard a strange noise coming from my office.

Bear performs an arpeggiated solo for us across multiple synths. From HiddenBytes on Twitter.

We see Akai MPK-249 and NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 as Bear’s main keyboards. There are also Behringer RD-8 and TD-3 beat machines, a Novation Launchpad, an Akai Fire, and an NI Maschine MK 3.

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.

CatSynth Pic: Andromeda

Andromeda gives us a piercing gaze in this portrait. From @justin3am on Twitter.

Sascha is back! We see his Squarp Pyramid MK2 along with the usual offerings from Roland, Behringer and Arturia. From Neil Parker of Space Kitty. You can see more photos of Sascha and the late great Blixa via their tags.

Cat in the new studio

This cat has a cozy studio setujp, with multiple keyboards, continuous controllers, synthesizers, and a laptop. From Douglass Craig via Facebook.
