Our friend Mr. Maximillion poses in front of a “wall of synths”, including classic offerings from Roland, Akai, and Ensoniq. Among them is an Ensoniq ASR-10; we still have one here at CatSynth HQ.

Persephone in the Studio
Persephone (aka “Mewskers”) is in the command chair of her very impressive studio. This studio is also used by our friend Rob Robinson and his industrial/noise/EBM project Order of the Static Temple (where we found this photo).
In front of Persephone is a Nord keyboard, to her left is a Sequential synthesizer, behind that a venerable Roland SH-101. We also see offerings from Behringer, Akai, Korg, and Ensoniq!
You can see more of Persephone via her tag.

Mae and Akai MPC Live II
The lovely Mae returns and shows off an Akai MPC Live II with a custom skin that definitely makes it pop against her dark fur. Can’t wait to hear what rhythms she makes with it.

Sounds good to me!
Bear Performs Arpeggios (Akai, Native Instruments, Behringer, Novation)
Heard a strange noise coming from my office.

This is what I found. #CatsOfTwitter #Caturday #CaturdayEve pic.twitter.com/4m5quiJyJa
Bear performs an arpeggiated solo for us across multiple synths. From HiddenBytes on Twitter.
We see Akai MPK-249 and NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 as Bear’s main keyboards. There are also Behringer RD-8 and TD-3 beat machines, a Novation Launchpad, an Akai Fire, and an NI Maschine MK 3.
Dali with MatrixBrute, Sequential OB-6, MPCX, Moog DFAM and More
Dali has quite the impressive synthesizer setup! In front we have an Arturia MatrixBrute, behind him a Sequential OB-6, Akai MPCX, the same Moog DFAM and Behringer TD-3 from the photo of his brother Rothko, a Behringer Model D, and a lot more. If you can name any of the other instruments, please feel free to share in the comments.

It’s clear who the synth lord is
It certainly is 😸

The Kiffness X Numnum Cat
This was fun. The Kiffness (aka David Scott) performs trumpet and electronics along with a rhythmic cat. Via the Kiffness’ Facebook page.
David Scott, also known by his stagename as The Kiffness, is a South African musician, producer and parody artist who is the founder and lead singer for the band, The Kiffness. Despite the name of the band, Scott is referred to as The Kiffness alone.

It looks like he features “collaborations” with cats quite often, so I suspect he will be back on CatSynth again soon.

An exercise in perspective as we see a seemingly diminutive cat beyond an Akai keyboard controller.
