Our friend Saruman is back, and he is showing off his vintage Yamaha gear. We see a Yamaha SK50D to the left, a CS30 to the upper right, and a DX7 at the bottom. Three different types of instruments from three different periods of Yamaha’s keyboard and synth history.

Bastet calmly kneads some soft blankets to this lo-fi electronic track created in Bitwig Studio (using stock devices with some modifications)
From @remixedcat on Twitter/X. What a great handle for a CatSynth contribution 😺
Xander sits atop a lovely grand piano along with his horse toy. An acoustic piano isn’t a “synth” per se, but it certainly fits within the continuum of musical instruments with cats that we welcome here at CatSynth. (Think Nora the piano-playing cat)

Our friend and fellow composer/musician Cat Temper submitted this image of a little “Hello Kitty” noise synth via Instagram. The Hello Kitty synth is a creation of Lullaby Machines, which has an Etsy Store with some audio and video synths.
Doctor Zoom shows off an impressive synth collection, which includes an Erica Synths DB-01 Bass Line, a Light Pedal from Gamechanger Audio, a Behringer TD-3-MO, a Behringer Edge, Arturia MicroFreak, Behringer Neutron with a custom front panel, and more.

Sora naps atop a Polyend Tracker audio workstation. It doesn’t look very comfortable, but cats sometimes have their own opinions about this. We also see a Teenage Engineering OP-1 nearby.

Here is a second photo, in color.
An adorable kitten plays with an iPhone synth app, making continuous theremin-like sounds.
From the Instagram account of the synthpop duo Sad Pajamas. You can hear one of their tracks (with feline-themed cover art) below and via their Bandcamp page.
Lautrec sits atop a vintage EMS Synthi A.
Lautrec lives with Keith Winstanley in the home of Milo and the late great Jet. Follow the links to see their photos here on CatSynth.
A fun fact: this particular Synthi used to belong to Dean Honer of I Monster and Moonlandingz fame. Now, of course, it belongs to the cats.
