  • Nicolai, Korg Microsampler, Alesis Drums and Compressor

    Nicolai, Korg Microsampler, Alesis Drums and Compressor

    Nicholai sits comfortably in front of a Korg Microsampler and Alesis drum machine and compressor. He also happens to be the brother of Hookah the Cat, whom we have featured many times here on CatSynth.

    From Darren Douglas Danahy via Facebook.

    Hookah the Cat is always getting on the CatSynth page for playing on my keyboards… Nicolai however, likes to hang out on the other side of the room by the Alesis drums & compressor along with the Korg microsampler, Kustom guitar amp, and Roland guitar synth. He actually likes to take the drumsticks from the area and play with them.

    Sounds like Nicolai is becoming quite the drummer in his own way 😹

    Maci, Korg SQ-1, Mutable Instruments

    Maci sits next to (and partially on top of) a Korg SQ-1 step sequencer. Submitted by Krasi Yonchev via our Facebook page.

    We also see what looks like a Mutable Instruments module nearby. My best guess is Clouds?

    Maci seems very contented.

    Soda, Pioneer DJ, Bozak Mixer and more

    Soda sits behind a couple of turntables and beneath a row of Pioneer DJ gear – two sources and remix unit. At the bottom, we see a Bozak mixer. It looks like Soda is ready to spin us some tunes and remixes.

    Olive, Korg DW8000, Yamaha MOTIF

    Tab cat sitting and looking at the camera. Behind her are two keyboards stacked - a Korg DW8000 and a Yamaha MOTIF

    The lovely Olive returns, this time with a Korg DW8000 and Yamaha MOTIF. From Charles Whiley on Facebook.

    I have been fascinated for a little while with DW8000. I encountered it back in the 1980s, but it was overshadowed for me by offerings from Yamaha, Roland, and Ensoniq. It came back to my attention a few years ago, and I started looking for an EX8000 (the rack version) – ultimately, I settled on its new successor, the Korg modwave.

    You can see Olive’s previous appearances via her tag.

    Kitten with Korg Kronos, Moog Sub 37, and more

    The beautiful Kitten (her name is Kitten) sits on a Korg Kronos workstation. We espy a Moog Sub 37 in the background along with numerous other keyboards whose identities are left as an exercise to the reader.

    Gerty and Tiny Studio (Ableton, Korg Volca)

    Gerty returns with a “tiny studio” consisting of Ableton Live! and a pair of Korg Volcas. The Volca Modular is a favorite of ours at CatSynth.

    From Brandon Heartworm Yahiro-Taylor.

    Micro-Studio… indoors today, lollygagging around version…My intern is not amused by the squalling bleeepy-bloopy modular synth stuff…

    This cat is the star of the show on a live stream by Martin Stürtzer. From Stürtzer’s Twitter feed. Please do check out his music on phelios.bandcamp.com.

    We lightened the pic a bit to get a better view of the synths, and the cat. Also, nice lava lamp.
