  • Lucy and Optigan

    Lucy and Optigan

    Lucy sits with her back to us – as cats are wont to do – on top of a covered EMS VCS3 Putney and a rare vintage Optigan. Submitted by Hamstall Ridware via BlueSky.

    The Optigan was an electronic organ that featured playback of chords, drums, riffs, and other patterns via optical plastic-film discs. In some ways, it was analogous to the magnetic tape playback in a Mellotron, but it was more for backing elements rather than as the main timbral source (although one could certainly create discs to use it that way).

    The vintage portable radio is a nice touch, too.

    Lucy shows off a new Ableton Live project. And she doesn’t want anyone messing with it.

    My cat Lucy is a little bit annoyed every time I use her music equipment. 🔊🐱

    CatSynth Pic: Lucy, Elektron, and Modular Synth

    It seems to be the week of the Elektron Octatrack, as we have two or three of them in today’s pic.  Also featured are the adorable cat Lucy, and a large modular synthesizer system.  I recognize a Make Noise Tempi and Rene on the bottom row – we have that pair here at CatSynth, too.

    Today’s photo comes to us from Lucy’s Instagram @dropzone_lucy
