My first synth. I was 16. My parents had no idea what it was lol, but they got it for me for Xmas. Changed my life.
They probably wanted to get you a kitten, but went to the wrong shop… 🙂
This make me wanna buy the Behringer CAT! 😀
The Behringer Cat is a great synth. ?
That was supposed to be a thumbs up, but it came out like a question mark.
Fun and informative video!
The cat on your tv screen looks like my cat Zizz. Groovy vid btw
