Rubia sits atop a vintage Sequential Six-Trak synthesizer and looks ready to pounce on the Casio VZ-1 (to the left). Above her, we see a Korg MS-10 analog synthesizer and in the lower right corner a vintage Rhodes.
From AxWax via Mastodon. AxWax and Rubia also have a new sample pack out featuring samples from a 40-year old Casiotone MT-70 keyboard. We at CatSynth look forward to checking that out.
Indy proudly sits atop a vintage Micromoog synthesizer. Submitted by CRaig Flory via our Facebook page.
Most readers are quite familiar with the Minimoog, but what about the Micromoog? It’s a somewhat smaller, single-oscillator synthesizer with a filter that is nearly identical to the Minimoog. It accepts external audio into the filter, so it makes a great processor as well. Finally, it has a pitch bend ribbon (like the CS-80), something its larger sibling did not have.
Our friend Bread has his paws on a Teenage Engineering OP-1, which is safely beneath an acrylic cover. Both Bread and the OP-1 sit atop a Polyend Tracker.

The indomitable Gracie is back, this time with an Ensoniq SQ-80 waveform hybrid synthesizer. She is clearly taking her quality-control inspection duties seriously! From our friends at Synthetic Dreamscapes.
The SQ-80 allowed one to mix up to three waveforms at once (e.g., a transient and a long time), along with an analog four-pole VCF and a VCA. It was a successor to the popular ESQ-1, and paved the way for modern wavetable synths.
Arturia created the SQ-80 V virtual version of this classic, which we reviewed here at CatSynth.

A popular meme video is remixed with a Hologram Microcosm granular looper pedal, and what I’m pretty sure is a Strymon Deco tape pedal (saturation, double tracking). This was quite fun to listen to.

Oto seems to be quite enjoying this little jam featuring the Dreadbox Nymphes, controlled by the Oxi sequencer and processed via the Endorphin.es Gost, Chase Bliss Mood, and Death by Audio Rooms.

Edward (Ed) finds a cosy spot next to a large Eurorack modular system. We see a Euclidean Circles modules from vpme, several DIY-built modules from Nonlinear Circuits with the colorful knobs, a Make Noise Maths, and a Volts Platz from Frequency Central.

The kitty approves.
“It is time for another Ambient Night! In this session I am going to create new Ambient music without sequences and beats using Luftrum Ambient 3 for Omnisphere.
