    Black Cat with Roland, Kawaii, Yamaha, Korg, and more

    A beautiful black cat with green eyes (like our beloved Luna) sits atop an impressive stack of modules. We see a Yamaha TX81Z (which we also have), as well as a few offerings from Roland, Kawaii, Korg, alases, and more Yamaha. From endmusik_studios via Instagram.

    New art for the studio, but it’ll have to wait until the intern finishes recabling everything

    Oberheim the cat is back, this time with a JP Cooper Synapse MIDI router and processor. From Charles Whiley via Facebook.

    The JL Cooper routers were among the earlier MIDI devices I read about as I was understanding what is needed to go from one synthesizer to a home studio. I never did get one (not practical for me at that time in the late 1980s), but I still have the Digital Music Corp MX-8 that got later on to serve a similar purpose.

    A beautiful black cat with green eyes on a Yamaha keyboard. Reminds me of our beloved Luna 💕

    I couldn’t figure out why Cubase was making a terrifying dissonant drone until I turned to my right and…

    The lovely Jet returns, this time with an MB 808. From Keith Winstanley via Facebook.

    The MB 808 is a DIY clone of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, that uses the uCApps.de MidiBox Sequencer. Here is a video about the MidiBox sequencer with 808 analog drums.

    You can see more of Jet’s appearances via this tag.

    Blix in Blue – Behringer, Korg, Arturia

    Blix (we’re pretty sure this is Blix) returns in a studio bathed in blue light. We see a Behringer Model D, Arturia KeyStep, Korg Electribe 2, and more.

    The adorable black cat Bogyo is ready to make some beats with a Korg EM-1. Submitted by Fa Szi via Facebook.

    The EM-1 was one of the instruments from the original Electribe series. It’s a great little box for producing beats and patterns. Perhaps we will hear something Boygo one day.

  • Mina and Korg MS2000

    Mina and Korg MS2000

    Two beauties today: Mina the lovely black cat, and a vintage Korg MS2000 synthesizer. From synthguy on Instagram.

    At least my synths are well guarded. Mina and the MS2000.

    The MS2000 is a virtual analog instrument that combines the vintage sounds of the MS series (e.g., the MS-10, MS-20, MS-50) with an equally vintage industrial design, reminiscent of Korg’s 1970s keyboards. We know Mina and her human must have a lot of fun playing it.

    Ciat-Lombarde Plumbutter and Korg Volca Modular

    Black cat with a Ciat-Lombarde Plumbutter, Korg Volca Modular, orange and green stackable patch cables, and other devices.

    This cute black cat looks ready to play a Ciat-Lombarde Plumbutter. We also see a Korg Volca Modular, another Volca, and a device that looks to be a Pocket Operator. We at CatSynth also respect this cat’s well-organized patch cables.
