Hookah the cat is back! This time he has a Korg Microsampler, Roland JD-8000, and Roland PianoPlus 70.

You can hear some of Hookah’s music here:

Ansel, JL Cooper Synapse, and Zara

Our friend Ansel poses next to a JL Cooper Synapse MIDI processor. We see one of his fellow cats hiding just below – we’re pretty sure this beautiful black cat is Zara.

From Charles Whiley via Facebook.

The JL Cooper Synapse is a MIDI router and processor which can route and merge various MIDI inputs and outputs. It’s very similar to the Digital Music Corp MX-8 that we have at HQ, but bigger. I recall seeing the JL Cooper one in brochures earlier on but it was out of my league at the time. Ansel is lucky to have found one, though.

Spitfire Audio Fractured Strings, Metasonix, Native Instruments, and More

David Levy and his cat return, with an “epic” sounding riff featuring Spitfire Audio’s “Fractured Strings” run through Metasonix models, processors from Overstayer and Thermionic Culture, and more.

Sunbub (Rhodes stage piano and Roland Amp)

Goonbug (aka “Goombub”) has found a nice patch of sun on this Roland amp. We see a keyboard in the back that appears to be a Rhodes stage piano. It is clearer in this photo.

While not technically a synth, the Rhodes electric pianos are among my favorite instruments and definitely an important part of any keyboard studio.
