Blixa returns to CatSynth today. We see an Arturia Drumbrute and Rackbrute stuffed with sundry Eurorack modules; a Behringer TD-3 (yellow edition) and a Roland TR-8s.

Cat on a Cat (Vintage Synthesizer Museum and Cat Man of West Oakland)
Two of my favorite local institutions, the Vintage Synthesizer Museum and the Cat Man of West Oakland, are back together again for this photoshoot featuring a beautiful siamese cat and the Octave CAT synthesizer.
I particularly like seeing the CATStick, which I had a chance to play when I visited the Vintage Synthesizer Museum last year.
Some more adorable images of a Cat on a Cat 😸
CatSynth Pic: Cats and Buchla
Minou and Lyra 8
Basti with Korg 01/W, SQ-1, and Dreabox in the snow
A truly wintry scene with a Korg 01/W, a Korg SQ-1 sequencer, a small Dreadbox synth, and a color-matching cat Basti.

Cricket with Elektron Analog Rytm and Sequentix Circlon
Cricket sits atop an Elektron Analog Rytm and next to a Sequentix Circlon synthesizer. Submitted by Steve Curry Bilek via our Facebook page.
The Eletkron Rytm (and the later Rytm Mk II) are well known as prized as analog drum machines. The Sequentix Circlon is perhaps not as well known, but it is a beautiful-looking multi-track sequencer. I imagine Cricket can make some great beats and other music with this pair.
Current Mood (Cwejman, Roland, Make Noise, more)
Our first CatSynth pic of 2021 features an image from stretta on Twitter. A beautiful cat, with a Roland A-50 keyboard, a Cwejman S1 (semi-modular synthesizer) and several Make Noise modules (we have that Intellijel case here at CatSynth HQ).
Cat and Modular (Make Noise, Instruo, SOMA Laboratory, Erica Synths, more)
A very pretty cat framed by a wide variety of modular synthesizers, including offerings from Make Noise, SOMA Laboratory (the Lyra-8 in the lower left corner), Instruo, Erica Synths, Mutable Instruments, and many more.

CatSynth Pic: Mae and Sonic Pi
Mae returns to the pages of CatSynth. This time she is reviewing code in Sonic Pi, a popular live-coding music system.
Submitted by Alessandro Cilano via our Facebook page.
I have never used Sonic Pi myself, but I am now curious to take a look at it given that it combines my interest in programming languages and electronic music.

Boulinette and Novation Summit
A lovely scene with Boulinette posing in the window behind a Novation Summit synthesizer. There is a certain painterly quality about this image that I quite like.
