CatSynth Pic: Cat and Nord Keyboard

Cute cat with a Nord keyboard. From Man-l Adsr on Facebook.

Clearly, this cat has great taste in keyboards (this looks to be an early Nord Electro). We also see some of those stickers identifying names and notes of keys that we have seen a few other recent keyboard photos.

Black cat – green eyes like our Luna – with a rack full of modules from Erica Synths. From James Johnson via Facebook.

Both the cat and the modules are gorgeous!

CatSynth Pic: Esper and Ensoniq DP/4

Esper has found a nice napping spot underneath an Ensoniq DP/4 effects processor. Submitted by Xeper Kalypso via Facebook. Photo slightly enhanced in the studios of CatSynth HQ to bring out the cat and the synth 😸

The DP/4 was quite the popular and powerful effects system in its day. Some of the algorithms were included in the Ensoniq ASR-10 as well.

CatSynth Pic: Cat and Digital Piano

Cute cat with a 88-key digital piano. From Karl Jensen via Facebook.

The “FIMO HK 200” border is apparently from FIMO, a film-emulator app for iOS and Android. It looks a lot like the Hipstamatic app I have been using for years – I will definitely check it out.
