Finn and M-Audio Keystation 88
Poor Finn has to wear the cone of shame to avoid a wound. But he can console himself by playing some music on the M-Audio Keystation 88.

Sora and Novation Bass Station
It’s been a little while since we featured Sora on CatSynth, and she was starting to get a little jealous of Tuna with his recent appearances. So here is Sora sitting on a Novation Bass Station. We always love seeing her.

Cairo and “Mog Synth”
Cairo has a great new holiday toy! It’s a “Mog Meowsic” cat synthesizer with a ball, scratcher, and other fun things to play with. Our friend Robert Saint John submitted it via our Facebook page.
It looks like his canine compatriot wants to get in on the action as well.
We definitely need to get one of these at CatSynth HQ for Sam Sam and Big Merp.

My Executive Producer is not happy with how things are progressing with this upcoming release…
We at CatSynth are confident things will progress more to Gerty’s liking in the near future. Just look at that sweet face 😻
