Not a “Cat-and-synthesizer pic” per se (though Logic does come with soft synths).

We take a break from our NAMM backlog for a cat-and-synth pic this Tuesday. From Kids at Midnight, via matrixsynth:
Arthur interrupts work on the latest tune, finding the laptop a nice warm place to settle down. He once changed the preferences on my Pro Tools with his arse and it took me about a month of fiddling and a call to a help desk to get it back to normal. Cat hair can also be a problem at the Kids At Midnight HQ. Shall be pooling our money and investing in a Dustbuster …
Acxel Resynthesizer and Rhodes Chroma
From Kevin Kelly of The Audio Playground Synthesizer Museum, via matrixsynth:
The Technos Acxel is an interesting synthesizer, based on manipulation of spectra in the frequency domain. This is something several of us have been doing in software for quite a while.
In addition to the Acxel and the Rhodes Chroma, I see an E-MU EMAX in the background.
CatSynth pics: Kitteh can has moogs
From softestthing on flickr:
There are several other pictures in the “kitteh can has moogs” series featuring Harrison (aka “harry potterbelly”). You can see the all of them here:
I realized that we have actually met this cat once before, in “kitteh can has modz”.

Reunion
This morning I brought Luna home. She immediately went about reacquainting herself with her domain:
In addition to being reunited, we marked her birthday with gifts and treats. She also received a card from a far-away friend of ours:
Doesn’t the cat on the card bear a striking resemblance?
We also had a belated Thanksgiving, complete with leftover turkey from New York:
It’s great to be home together again.
