Tico walks among an impressive array of vintage synthesizers, including several Roland models -Juno 106, JP-8000, and a blue SH-101 – a Quasimidi “The Raven”, a Korg MS-20, and a Nord keyboard.

From Ribeiro Paulo via Facebook.
In 2019, I had my encourager, Tico, who helped me take everything out of the boxes and reassemble it. Until now, the spirit of courage and resilience has remained focused; he’s a true friend in my mission π πΌππ€ππ΅πΉβ€οΈβ°β


Monty is napping behind the Nord keyboard in the studio, as his sidekick, the garden gnome, looks on.
From our friend Dave Newhouse.


Monty is back in the studio with our friend Dave Newhouse. We see their trusty Nord keyboard. And of course, a cup of coffee.


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 π»


Big Merp helps out in the studio as we work on one of our recent synth-review videos. Specifically, it was Part 2 of our Cherry Audio Crumar Spirit review and tutorial.
Behind Merp we see our trusty Nord Stage keyboard, our Pro Tools system, and various bits of studio gear including the Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments, Novation Launch Control, and some preamps and compressors.


Gibbous stands proudly atop a Novation UltraNova. Behind him, we see a large Eurorack modular system. We also see a Nord Modular and sundry pedals.

Monty looks ready for his recording session with our friend Dave Newhouse.
Monty caught trying to lay down some keyboard tracks on the next album!
If Monty does lay down some keyboard tracks on the Nord, we at CatSynth will look forward to hearing them.
Please check out our review of Dave Newhouse’s Natura Morta on CatSynth TV (if you haven’t already done so).


Monty is helping out in the studio, and thinks this F is the purrfect note to add.
