Big Merp on the Modular Desk

Big Merp loves attention and always wants to be where the action is. So it’s fairly common to find him on this spot between the MacBook Pro and the Modular system. And in this instance, he struck a particularly handsome pose 😻. You can see quite a few of our Eurorack modules, including our prized Metasonix yellow and silver tube modules in the upper left corner of the case, as well as many others that have appeared in our recordings and videos over the years. A full list of brands is in the tags.

This is also where we shoot a lot of our hardware demo videos, so it often ends up cluttered. But we always make sure there is space because you never know when Merp is going to jump up and say hi.

Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Mordax, More

A beautiful black-and-white photo of a tabby cat in front of a modular system featuring modules from Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Mordax, and more. I do like alliteration, but we do also see interesting modules from Noise Engineering and 4ms.

Big Merp, Yamaha RX5, and Modular

Today we feature our very own Big Merp in the studio. He was assisting with our recent video on the Yamaha RX5 – specifically the “RX5USB” cartridge. We also one portion of our modular collection, including Metasonix modules, Rossum Morpheus, E350 Morphing Terrarium, Benjolin, Expert Sleepers, Sputnik Modular, Mordax, 4MS, Make Noise, Pittsburgh Modular, Koma Elektronik, 2hp, Folktek, and more.

This is the video we were working on at the time.

We also have a detailed tutorial for the RX5 itself

Elektron Analog Four and Octatrack

This cat has a pretty cool setup including an Elektron Analog Four – that’s one we don’t see as often – and an Octatrack. We also see a modular system, an FMR Really Nice Compressor, and the mixers and patch bays that are essential for any synth studio. From discotheque_sauvage on Instragram.

This is not the first time we have featured discotech_sauvage, their cat, and their Elektron instruments. Check out this previous post.

Toulouse and Modular

Handsome Toulouse sits atop a modular system featuring modules from a wide variety of makers, including Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Noise Engineering, Expert Sleepers, Wrong Electronics (the intriguing-liking Vector Space module in the lower left). From hshmodular, who also has a series going into detail on several of the modules on their Instagram. Check it out!

Nala, KOMA Field Kit + FX, Chase Bliss Pedals, Modular

Nala working with a Koma Field Kit + Field Kit FX, some pedals from Chase Bliss, and a large modular system. If that modular looks familiar, that is because it’s the same one that Tweek and Satie use. Nala shares the modular as well as a human with them.

Satie and Modular (Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, more)

Satie is once again posing handsomely atop his modular system – or rather, a modular that he shares with his fellow feline Tweek. In this view, we can see offerings from Mutable Instruments and Make Noise, and glimpses of others behind the nest of patch cords.
