Pinki with Analog Systems and more modular

Pinki shows off a cool Analog Systems modular, with not one but two Oberkorn 16-step sequencers. There are several other Eurorack modules from other manufacturers on the lower level, which we shall leave as an exercise to the reader.

Oreo with Gakken SX-150 MkII

Oreo returns! This time, he is showing off a Gakken SX-150 MkII synthesizer. Submitted by John Weiner via our Facebook page.
The Gakken SX-150 is a tiny analog synthesizer, sharing some elements with both the Stylophone and Korg Monotron series. It has a solid feature set for such a small instrument, including multiple LFO shapes, independent controls for filter cutoff and resonance, envelopes, and buttons to automatically sweep the filter. Like the stylophone, the stylus is the main pitch control. A purrfectly cat-sized instrument, though the stylus must be a bit challenging for paws.
