Big Merp in the studio
Last week we featured a “CatSynth pic” with Sam Sam, so it’s only fair that this week we feature Big Merp. As we’ve seen before, he likes to get up on the equipment while I’m working in the studio.
Merp is sitting on our “trusty red keyboard”, the Nord Stage EX. To the right, we see a couple of our more colorful modules, the Strymon Starlab and Dreadbox Euphoria. Behind him are a couple of audio processing units, a tube compressor, and a mic preamp (from Golden Age Project); in the left corner are the same E-MU modules that we saw with Sam Sam last week.
You can see our reviews/tutorials for the Strymon Starlab and Dreadbox Euphoria, respectively, below.
‘Aristophanes’ Dub Ambient (Syntakt, Digitakt, OB-6, Prophet 10 , Pulse 2)
A gentle and inviting ambient synth jam with the Elektron Digitakt and Syntakt, Sequential OB-6 and Prophet 12, and Waldorf Pulse 2. From Martin Stürtzer on YouTube. Originally seen on matrixsynth.
Setup of this track: The Digitakt plays the drums and controls the OB-6 (Track 9), Prophet 10 (Track 10) and the Waldorf Pulse 2 (Track 11) over midi. The Syntakt plays the first sequence (Track 1), the pad (Track 2) and the lead sound (Track 5). The Midi Fighter Twister controls the levels in Bitwig and the effects, which are Valhalla DSP Delay, Supermassive and Vintage Verb.
2934 Aristophanes /ˌærɪˈstɒfəniːz/, provisional designation 4006 P-L, is a carbonaceous Veritasian asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 22 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered during the Palomar–Leiden survey in 1960, and later named after ancient Greek dramatist Aristophanes. https://tinyurl.com/2t5f5vu6

Jam with Yamaha SK50D and Saruman
We just saw Saruman with his Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7. Now we can here them being played. While Héctor Genis plays a classic synth-pop jam with lush cords, Saruman bounces around and supervises, as a cat does.
Fran Halen with Make Noise, Moog, and other modular
Fran Halen is all snuggled and warm on a chilly day. We bet those analog modules from Moog, Make Noise, and others will help keep her warm, too.

Mistie and Yamaha DX7

I think I also espy a Yamaha QX3 sequencer just to the left of Mistie.
These 1980s DX-era instruments loom large in my personal synth history, often as aspirational. We do have a couple of TX modules still in use along with our RX5 drum machine here at CatSynth HQ.

Ringo with Roland, Korg, Zoom, Waldorf
Ringo joins us from Brooklyn and shares with us a brief jam on a Roland SP-404SX, Korg TR 61 workstation, Zoom G3 effects box, and Waldorf Blofeld. From our friend Damien Olsen.
You can see a bit of a show that both Damien and I played in Brooklyn back in 2019
