Saruman with Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7

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 and Bitwig Studio, LoFi Style

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 on a grand piano

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)

Gracie, Arp Omni-2, PPG Wave, Moog

Our friend Gracie is back! She is guarding an Arp Omni-2, PPG Wave, and sundry other synths in the laboratories of Synthetic Dreamscapes, where my friend Alison works magic on these old synths (including our own Octave CAT and Yamaha RX5). You can find more at https://www.syntheticdreamscapes.com/
