We see Buddy enjoying some sunshine while sitting atop a covered Ensoniq ESQ-1. Above him is a Roland JP-8000.

Buddy is my rescue cat. I adopted him from the animal shelter. As you can see he is totally relaxed and at home.
Suzy returns to CatSynth. She sits comfortably atop an Ensoniq ESQ-8, which is sporting a much-needed dust cover. Above her is a Roland JP-8000.

Dahlia strikes another beautiful pose, this time next to the Roland JP-8080. In the background, we also see a Korg MiniKorg 700, an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and a red Roland SH-101. We at CatSynth particularly covet a couple in this collection.

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.
Jasper shares his latest composition on the Yamaha DX7ii classic FM synthesizer. We also see an Ensoniq ESQ1 on the lower shelf. Submitted by Samuel Mills.
Little more avant garde than I was looking for, dude. Let’s take it from the top.
The indomitable Gracie is back, this time with an Ensoniq SQ-80 waveform hybrid synthesizer. She is clearly taking her quality-control inspection duties seriously! From our friends at Synthetic Dreamscapes.
The SQ-80 allowed one to mix up to three waveforms at once (e.g., a transient and a long time), along with an analog four-pole VCF and a VCA. It was a successor to the popular ESQ-1, and paved the way for modern wavetable synths.
Arturia created the SQ-80 V virtual version of this classic, which we reviewed here at CatSynth.
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.

Mr. Maximillion poses with some impressive keyboards, the Ensoniq KT76 and KT88. These were keyboard-instrument synths (pianos, electric pianos, etc.) with nice key beds, at least from the perspective of a pianist.

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.
Jerry sits handsomely atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer; it looks like he is ready to share a large tone cluster with us.
