Today we have a seriously cute cat with a modular system, a Roland System-1m, Korg SQ-1, Arturia keyboard and more. From Simon RD via Facebook.
Identification of the individual modules left as an exercise to the reader.

CatSynth Pic: Korg MS2000
Handsome black cat with a Korg MS2000 synthesizer. From our friend synthguy216 on Instagram, who asks “why so serious?”
The MS2000 is in the lineage of Korg’s MS-20 and MS-50, but uses analog modeling, and offers 4-voice polyphony. It was released in 2000, and combines the MS-style mix of pre-wired patching with very accessible real-time knob controls and a patching matrix via the LCD screen. There is also the MS2000R rackmount version.
CatSynth Pic: Albert and Korg Electribe SX
Albert sits atop a Korg Electribe SX (red, with SD card reader) as he contemplates his next composition. Submitted by David Cole via our Facebook page.
The SX was a major step forward for the popular Electribe series; plus it had a cool red metal case, and vacuum tubes.
CatSynth Pic: Merce, Jomox Resonator Neuronium, MicroKORG, and Fluxus
Our friend Merce joins us again, with the Jomox Resonator Neuronium along with the MicroKORG. He also shares this classic Fluxus piano piece by George Brecht.
When you can’t even get a Fluxus piece right. George Brecht, “3 Piano Pieces,” from Water Yam, 1962
Even we at CatSynth sometimes find it hard to Fluxus right in these anxious times.

CatSynth Pic: Brisket, Korg Polysix, and Social Distancing
In this moment of social distancing, Brisket is showing us how to do it right as he completely ignores the Korg Polysix next to him.
