“pictures from my kitten, who loves to sleep on my mixtable.”

I see a Korg Kaoss Pad (the big kind, not the mini that I often use), a Microkorg, and a Speak and Read, among other sundry items.

As always, you can submit you own cat-and-music pictures via facebook, twitter, or our submission form.

CatSynth pic: TOM-1501 Rare Soviet USSR Vintage Analog Synthesizer

Via matrixsynth:

Judging from the cat and early 1970s decor, it’s from the same source as yesterday’s post.

“Tom-1501- 61-note (F-F) string / brass / piano multi-keyboard. This one reminds Crumar multi-keyboards. Nearly all controls on sliders on sloping back panel. Splittable. Vibrato depth, speed. Brass filter AR, resonance and cutoff. Preset sounds, mixable, include piano, clavinet, orchestra (violin, alto, contrabass), brass. Chorus. Piano has separate out. Made at the Tula factory. “

You can see more photos and information on this rare Soviet instrument on the original post at matrixsynth.

CatSynth pic: Monsturo: modular set-up

From Analogue Haven on flickr, via matrixsynth:

“Beautiful photo of a nearly full Monorocket Lexington by Monsturo. Nice selection of modules from a variety of manufacturers. Lots of oscillators, multiple filters and several sequencers for control. The Harvestman Stilton Adaptor is used for integrating external effects. LINK: www.myspace.com/monsturo.”

I have tagged some of modules I recognize (e.g., from NAMM).  Click on the tags for other pictures, info and articles.

“E’ troppo soooo cute ! A parte il fatto che è un felino e oltretutto un cucciolo, e da qui tutti gli infiniti pregi di questi esseri,ma poi dico : lo vedete ? E’ superbo ! Effetti completamente dopanti !”

Of course, it’s easy to sound good when you only lie on the black keys 🙂
