The lovely Chihiro poses with a Novation AFX Station and plays it, too. From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram).
Chihiro decided to join me in celebrating International Synthesizer Day by playing glissando with her face on the AFX Station. She also worked the pitch & mod wheels. 😹🎹
Chihiro enjoys rubbing up against the modular in this adorable video. She seems to particularly like the Happy Nerding modules and a MOK Waverazor. I also noticed the Behringer vocoder module, the Piston Honda from Industrial Music Electronics, and more.
From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@ericsuperlazy on Instagram), who notes that Chihiro was probably most taken with the case itself, a Dopfer Low Cost LC with its vinyl-like siding.
It’s rare that we get to see Haku and Chichiro together, but here they are, purrfectly posed behind a small modular “expression skiff”. We see modules from Doepfer, Intellijel, AJH Synth, a Bela Gliss, and a Cre8audio Cellz.

Chichiro is having a little fun with the Modbap Trinity drum module on Modulargrid.

Chichiro inspects a Doepfer Dark Energy Mk1 synthesizer. Submitted by our friend Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram).
The Doepfer Dark Energy was built around the Curtis CEM3394 “synth on a chip”. Curtis filter chips are well known and prolific in analog synthesizers, but this chip also includes a VCO and VCA – in short, a full synthesizer voice. It would definitely be fun to get hold of one of these, either packaged like the Dark Energy or on its own to experiment with.
Chichiro peers inside a case with modules from XAOC Devices.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.
This expression speaks volumes 😸
