Big Merp assists in the studio

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.

Ronnie and Novation MiniNova

Ronnie sits atop a Novation MiniNova synthesizer and vocoder, demonstrating the adage “if it fits I sits.”

From jamluca on Instagram, who wrote:

He is my ghost producer everyone, and he is amazing at what he does, always helping me with mixing music in the “Studio” and making sure im not making trash 🎶😺 cheers Ronnie 👍

Tuna and Novation Bass Station

Tuna is back after a hiatus from CatSynth. And he is now sporting a cool blue and white collar that matches the Novation Bass Station on which he is napping.

Hello @catsynth this is Tuna. It’s been a long time since he was last featured here with a synth. As you can see, he now has a blue and white collar. There are houses very near us that are being built so we need Tuna to wear a collar for ID.

And, appropriately, he’s napping on top of a @wearenovation Bass Station 2 which matches his colors.

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.

Ansel and rack-mount synths

Ansel is showing off an absolutely insane (in the good sense of the word) tower of vintage rack-mount synthesizers. From top to bottom, we see:

  • Novation Supernova Rack
  • E-MU Audity 2000
  • Casio VZ-10M
  • Yamaha TX-802
  • Yamaha TG77
  • Roland SC-880
  • Oberheim Matrix 1000 (x2)

Below the rack and just above Ansel we see a Sequentix Cirklon sequencer.

All in all, quite impressive – we at CatSynth are a bit envious 😺
