Meet adorable kittens Boris and Natasha! We see them posing here with an Arturia MicroFreak (complete with vocoder mic).

Hello CatSynth, it’s been almost a year since we lost our keyboard playing cat Hookah, but a week ago we adopted Boris and Natasha. Today I let them in the music room and they are ALL ABOUT IT.
We at CatSynth welcome Boris and Natasha to their new forever home, and look forward to seeing more of them in the future.

Sam Sam and Big Merp in the studio
We kick off the week with our very own Sam Sam and Big Merp doing what they do best in the studio. We also see our trusty Nord Stage “big red keyboard”, Yamaha TX802 and TX81Z FM modules, a Korg DVP-1 voice processor (also from the 1980s) and sundry other gear. We also see one of our miniatures, a replica of a Mellotron.
I love having both kitties in the studio with me when I work 😻

Kitty and Suzy with Roland JP-8000 and Ensoniq ESQ-1
Kittens Kitty and Suzy play atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1, which has been (wisely) covered. Kitty is the one facing us on top, and Suzy is the one on the bottom with her back to us. Above them we see a Roland JP-8000 synthesizer.

This is the same ESQ-1 we saw a little while ago with Jerry posing. Sadly, Jerry passed away earlier this year. And just today, Jerry’s buddy Tom passed away as well. We at CatSynth extend our condolences to his family. But it is also nice to see these beautiful kittens welcomed into their home and carrying on Jerry’s legacy.

Stevesteve and Bruce in the Studio
It’s been quite a while since Stevesteve last appeared on CatSynth, but we’re happy to welcome him back, along with his pal Bruce. We see in the upper left corner a Behringer Model D and CAT. To the left of those under a cover is a Moog Subsequent 37.

These kitties have a great synth – very playable – and I’m a little envious.

Cat and a Cat on a Cat
It looks like our friends over at Triangle Synth Party in North Carolina have some cats on their Octave CAT. A little figuring covers the pulse width knob of VCO 1, and a sticker sits just above F sharp.

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.
