Blixa and Sasha in the Studio (Roland and Arturia)

Blixa and Sasha are sitting together in the studio. We see Roland TR 707 and TR-8S rhythm machines, along with an Arturia DrumBrute. From Neil Parker via Facebook. 💕

I love these fluffy things more than anything.

I know the feeling. They are indeed so precious to us.

Abby and a Keyboard Tower (Roland, Casio)

Cute little Abby sits next to a tower of vintage keyboard synths. On top is a Roland Alpha Juno 1; below it is a Roland S-10 sampling synthesizer. On the bottom level is a Casio CZ3000. The last one is left as an exercise to the reader.

I managed to catch cute little fun-sized Abby in my studio today. She has a stern looking face, but that’s just the tortie-tude. She’s actually a sweetheart!!

Frank with Strega Prototype

Frank naps against a prototype of the Strega, a collaboration between Alessandro Cortini and Make Noise.

2020, Frank dreaming of new ways of making sounds with a Strega Prototype. Miss this boy a lot.

The Strega sounds intriguing and we look forward to trying one here at CatSynth one of these ways. I wonder if Big Merp will nap on it.
