This beautiful Siamese cat is holding court in a studio featuring an Akai APC40 controller (for Ableton Live), a pair of Korg Kaoss pads, and a Keith McMillen (KMI) QuNexus controller. And that appears to be a dead furby next to the cat.

Eat your heart out, @catsynth 🙌🙌😆🎶🎵🥰❤️😻
Yes, that’s a Furby pelt pop filter.
Bobby is intrigued by the Korg NTS-1 programmable synthesizer. So are we Bobby, so are we.
From Erwin Kant via our Facebook page.
The NTS-1 is a small DIY kit that is compatible with the same SDK used in the Minilogue XD and Prologue synthesizers, allowing the development of custom oscillators and effects.
Mae proudly sits atop a Korg OpSix synthesizers. From Alessandro Cilano via our Facebook page.
Mae not helping with the OpSix
The OpSix is a reimagining of the classic Yamaha six-operator FM synthesizers of the 1980s. It expands on the original voice architecture with additional algorithms, and most significantly adds real-time surface controls and displays for each of the operators. It also includes filters and effects, something that was not part of the original DX series. It is definitely an interesting instrument if you want to check out classic DX-style FM synthesis.

A moody picture featuring Olly the tabby cat. The dark surroundings make it challenging to see, but there is a MicroKORG, an MS-20, and probably one more instrument in there.

instrument racks are the best cat trees ever made! Fully tested and approved by Olly… whether we like it or not! 😏

The white cat from Kamal Sabran’s studio returns. We see a Behringer Poly D and DeepMind, sundry modular, and a lot of beautiful retro gear including reel-to-reel tape recorders. A microKORG appears to be stacked in the lower-left corner.

This cool calico cat has managed to play both the Arturia DrumBrute and Korg Minilogue xd at the same time 😸

Cool cat with a lion cut on a Korg modular synth. This appears to a vintage Korg PS-3300. From Very Records via Twitter.
Kat on a Korg.. 🙂
The PS-3300 is a rather rare synthesizer, but an impressive one. I did get to play the closely related PS-3100 early this year at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum. You can hear a bit in this video.
